Thread: What this entire mess is all about. It’s not about GOP vs Dem. Look around you. There’s plenty of people who claim to be GOP that side with the Dems. It’s about a Constitutional Republic vs. the tyranny of the majority.

Look at what the Dems say. We got the most votes. We should win. THAT is the tyranny of the majority. Our system was deliberately set up to suppress the tyranny of the majority. That’s the purpose of the Electoral College.
Without the electoral college, New York and Los Angeles would set policy for the entire nation. This may come as a surprise to some, but there are lots of people in America who don’t want to be like New Yorkers or Los Angelans.
We believe in marriage for a lifetime, not for convenience. We think sex outside of marriage is destructive to society and leads to evils such as abortion.
We’re willing to tolerate and even laugh at the excesses of the coastal elites so long as they don’t try to force us to live their way. We get to express those views in who we vote for. And you don’t get to tell us we can’t express those views. Because you’re not the boss of us.
The Constitution is. I watched a video of Van Jones doing a TED talk where he expressed alarm that the Constitution puts the decision of who becomes President in the hands of the state legislators. He was even more alarmed that Congress could override that decision.
He’s a lawyer. He sure got a lousy education. He didn’t even know, until recently, what the Constitution says. It’s THE foundational document for who we are as Americans. We swear allegiance to it when we join the military.
Immigrants swear allegiance to it when they become citizens. Natural-born citizens SHOULD swear allegiance to it, but far too many have never even read it. This election cycle, they’re getting an education in the Constitution. And many don’t like it.
They don’t like it because that’s not the system of government they want to live under. And THAT is the cruz of this battle. Are we still a Constitutional Republic? Or are we going to become a majoritarian democracy, which means the end of the United States?
This isn’t a fight between Democrats and Republicans. This is a fight between Americans and people who want to destroy America. If you sit on the sidelines for this one, you won’t get a chance to fight for freedom later. If we fail to get this right, America is over.
That’s why you can’t afford to give up. It’s OK to get disheartened. To have doubts, To be fearful. Every combat vet will tell you that they had all those emotions. But they pressed on. Because their battle was life or death.
They didn’t have the option to fight again another day. And neither do you. The threat we face today is no less real than the threat we faced in WWII. During that war, the survival of our country, of the entire world, was at stake. And that’s exactly what’s at stake today.
So, if you need a break, take one. If you’re fearful, pray for peace. But whatever you do, and however long it takes, get back into the fight. Freedom is on the line. Patriots must hold the line.

This is partly what makes it impossible to have a constructive conversation nowadays. The stubborn refusal to accept that opposition to Trumpism and GOP nationalism is about more than simply holding different beliefs about things in and of itself. 👇


It's fine for people to hold different beliefs. But that doesn't mean all beliefs deserve equal treatment or tolerance and it doesn't mean intolerance of some beliefs makes a person intolerant of every belief which they don't share.

So if I said I don't think Trumpism deserves to be tolerated because it's just a fresh 21st century coat of cheap paint on a failed, dangerous 20th century ideology (fascism) that doesn't mean I'm intolerant of all beliefs with which I disagree. You'd think this would be obvious.

Another important facet. People who support fascist movements tend to give what they think are valid reasons for supporting them. That doesn't mean anyone is obliged to tolerate fascism or accept their proffered excuse.


Say you joined a neighborhood group that sets up community gardens and does roadside beautification projects. All good, right? Say one day you're having a meeting and you notice the President and exec board of this group are saying some bizarre things about certain neighbors.

हिमालय पर्वत की एक बड़ी पवित्र गुफा थी।उस गुफा के निकट ही गंगा जी बहती थी।एक बार देवर्षि नारद विचरण करते हुए वहां आ पहुंचे।वह परम पवित्र गुफा नारद जी को अत्यंत सुहावनी लगी।वहां का मनोरम प्राकृतिक दृश्य,पर्वत,नदी और वन देख उनके हृदय में श्रीहरि विष्णु की भक्ति अत्यंत बलवती हो उठी।


और देवर्षि नारद वहीं बैठकर तपस्या में लीन हो गए।इन्द्र नारद की तपस्या से घबरा गए।उन्हें हमेशा की तरह अपना सिंहासन व स्वर्ग खोने का डर सताने लगा।इसलिए इन्द्र ने नारद की तपस्या भंग करने के लिए कामदेव को उनके पास भेज दिया।वहां पहुंच कामदेव ने अपनी माया से वसंतऋतु को उत्पन्न कर दिया।


पेड़ और पौधों पर रंग बिरंगे फूल खिल गए और कोयलें कूकने लगी,पक्षी चहकने लगे।शीतल,मंद,सुगंधित और सुहावनी हवा चलने लगी।रंभा आदि अप्सराएं नाचने लगीं ।किन्तु कामदेव की किसी भी माया का नारद पे कोई प्रभाव नहीं पड़ा।तब कामदेव को डर सताने लगा कि कहीं नारद क्रोध में आकर मुझे श्राप न देदें।

जैसे ही नारद ने अपनी आंखें खोली, उसी क्षण कामदेव ने उनसे क्षमा मांगी।नारद मुनि को तनिक भी क्रोध नहीं आया और उन्होने शीघ्र ही कामदेव को क्षमा कर दिया।कामदेव प्रसन्न होकर वहां से चले गए।कामदेव के चले जाने पर देवर्षि के मन में अहंकार आ गया कि मैने कामदेव को हरा दिया।

नारद फिर कैलाश जा पहुंचे और शिवजी को अपनी विजयगाथा सुनाई।शिव समझ गए कि नारद अहंकारी हो गए हैं और अगर ये बात विष्णु जी जान गए तो नारद के लिए अच्छा नहीं होगा।ये सोचकर शिवजी ने नारद को भगवन विष्णु को ये बात बताने के लीए मना किया। परंतु नारद जी को ये बात उचित नहीं लगी।
