Maybe, but the only reason this is notable is because of an uptick that is from the literal opposite of Christian right wing.

Mass shootings weren't even defined before. We didn't talk about them because they weren't tracked. Even now the definition of mass shooting isn't settled, with some definitions having about a dozen per year, and others having about 2 per day.

After reading your comment I had to fight an almost overwhelming urge to buy a Nazi flag and rent out my house for the simple pleasure of screwing over renters. That's how fast it happens.

It depends on the area you live. You get a little further from the cities and there is a very normal mix of families wherever you go and consequently much less of the type of judgement being discussed in this thread. Cities tend to collect single people or people without kids, and frankly, raising kids in an urban setting is much more challenging so fewer people do it or they move out when they start a family.

Glad we can finally get back to hating big pharma. They are a bunch of greedy opportunists, and always were.

I guess maybe we are using the terms differently.

I'm not the guy who tried to claim an insane murderer is somehow representative of an entire political party.

My whole point was that the cultural revolution was a disaster because of unchecked progressivism, and that more conservative voices could have averted the disaster. This was in response to an unhinged rant about conservatives being good for nothing and how they should be silenced. Not sure why I engaged in that insane premise to begin with, but anyway that's how we got here.

So let me get this straight, communism failed in China because it was like Trump?

Ok you've got to be trolling me. Goodbye.

Mao may not have been progressive, I don't need to argue that point. But he definitely tapped into a progressive spirit driven by progressive youths and the result was a tragedy.
