    Yes, I believe that. There will always be a non-trivial number of cave dwellers for con artists like Rush to fleece, but they have shrunk as a percentage of the population steadily over the last century. The fact that Obama was elected, and re-elected, is testament to this. Make Obama the Democratic nominee in 1948 and see what happens.

      I'm not convinced. We are the only country in the World pulling out of the Paris Accords. We are unique in our Orc-iness on this planet.

          That's not on the orcs, it's on the plutes.

          The GOP Platform:

          Orcs: racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, protectionism, Thumper Talibanism

          Plutes: political bribery, environmental destruction, gutting labor laws, gutting consumer protection, 1%er theft

          Both: Forever War, imperialism, neofeudalism

            LOL. That makes sense. I'm with ya now. That also means that if we kill off the Orcs we still have a plute problem.

                Even if we kill off the Orcs we will be back to 30% Orcs sometime in the fairly near future. Orcism seems to be a mathematical consequence of the species. It is impervious to education, experience, culture, or any form of external improvement and it is incapable of internal improvement. There may just be an Orc Gene where the curiosity and self-examination bits are frozen on 0 and the cowardice and revenge bits are frozen on 1. Killing the Orcs won't help.

                We don't have to kill the Plutes, either. Just take their stuff -- those who can accumulate more will deserve it (for this generation) and those who don't will fade back into the oblivion of a Trump born penniless. Repeat each generation.

                That's the cool thing about real social justice. It needs no violence other than resistance to the Orc and Plute violence that is enshrined in the coercion of the State. Gandhi and King understood this, and the sooner we do the sooner we'll win.

                  LOL. We should shower him with praise whenever he does stuff like this.

                  He's single-handedly set the GOP agenda back about 36 weeks in the last 36 hours. Shower him with adulation. Everybody wins.

                  He's obviously trying to double-cross the Dems by seeming to play to us, whereupon we will... I dunno, put our head in his mouth and then SNAP!?

                  Whatever the moron is trying to do, just be sure to compliment him whenever he does something accidentally useful, while of course never trusting the fat fool for even a microsecond.

                    So you didnt look at any of the pictures from Charlottesville then? Most of the people marching werent old... (see also: The Burning Cross Picture from HS students in Iowa)

                    You need to take a step back and look at the big picture, not just the whiners on cable news. The youth in America are no less racist or sexist than the old just walk on a college campus you will see.

                      Math. Math. Math.

                      There are young racist as-sholes now.

                      There were more in the past.

                      They've been dying off. That doesn't mean they're dead. It doesn't mean the racists you meet will be old -- most old racists are hunched over the bar or the barber chair in Nobuttsecks, Jesusland drooling about Dubyadubyatwothebigone. The ones who get out and around are going to be the young ones. They still exist. As long as there are trailer parks fat prairie brood sows will be splooshing out litters of them.

                      But there are fewer now.

                        Pretty sure the data shows that there's a clear shift to dems among young voters. And that's not to say racism doesn't exist anymore amongst young people, it clearly does, but big picture wise these things have gotten better over time as we've seen throughout the history of this country.

                          The problem with Kepler's math is they have power everywhere in the United States. The Democrats may not even exist anywhere outside of a large city.

                              There's that and there's also this.

                              The right is starting to run out of uneducated people. As long as Americans continue to be better educated than their parents, the country will continue to move leftward. That is not because liberalism is inherently more intellectually rigorous than conservatism, but because what passes for "conservatism" in the US is just reactionary authoritarianism, and that is extremely susceptible to education because it rests on ignorance and fear.

                              As Americans become more educated the real beneficiary will be the right because conservatism will start to move back towards the principled, intellectual conservatism before the Culture War. The right has taken a vacation from thinking these last fifty or so years, but the vacation is ending. Since obviously the right will adapt rather than die, we will eventually see a right that is no longer reactionary and fascistic but creative and liberating -- a right worth voting for, in fact. But until that happens they will be the same sad sack sadists of the last several generations.

                                Not flawed, but yes, unsupported.
