#2 French is still not getting it.

For three election cycles now tens of millions of Americans voted for a presidential candidate who called Christians, gun owners, business owners, and people who believe in limited government and intact borders SUBHUMANS. And they voted that way primarily because they are government funded, want the party most likely to keep their government funding intact in power, and are willing to go down the path of treating other human beings as untermensch in order to keep their magic paychecks. In other words, they value their happy metric-free and anxiety-free status quo more than the businesses, liberties, and lives of their neighbors in the private sector.

The people who did this cannot be handled by civility. At best they can be defanged and kept from the levers of power and outed as sociopaths. At worst........

#4 Without even looking, I could guess that the author was David French.

No, David, the time for civility is long past; surely, if you have a brain you should know that the civility will be one-sided.

We are in a fight for our very survival. It's time to start acting like it.

#5 No different than the colonists here who whined that 'yeah the king did this and did that and violated our natural rights of Englishmen' but in the end he's our king.

#6 For the D French types of the world, civility = "bipartisanship" = bend over.
