#1 So many people who are attracted to progressivism or liberalism say I want to be liberal and accepting or I'm for progess in our society. Big mistake, that is not what progressivism/liberalism is about.

#3 The country is not coming apart. A selection of the population is having a tantrum and are becoming increasingly isolated as a result.

The left is inflicting a type of emotional terrorism upon the nation, with the hopes that folks will take their side to shut them up. This is how Peggy Noonan and others turned on their ideals during the George W. administration and why #NeverTrumpers folded immediately rather than deal with 8 years of the same.

#7 I wasn't suggesting he was. I have major respect for Dr Hansen, but I think he overdoes it when he says the country is coming apart.

#8 Country coming apart? I'd say those fires were stoked heavily in the last adm.
