What on Earth is going on in the world today? It's gone mad

[Fiero425]

I think the so called “far right” are the same people formerly called centrist. The left have behaved like a shopping trolley with 3 wheels for so long that common sense gets mistaken for extremism…

You tell us no lie! The "far right" has demonized "common sense" since the '80's really! I got cable to watch CNN from it's inception! The extremes slowly became the norm as I watched w/ facination! Republicans started acting w/ a "birth right" to the Presidency after being in the woods during the Nixon embarrassment & Carter tenure! They punished the man into his grave making him out to be nothing more than a peanut farmer & hillbilly even though he technically was a nuclear physicist! He was openly undermined during the Iran hostage crisis! They normally shout to/from the roof-tops that "foreign affairs" shouldn't be politicized! Of course that rule dissolved when out of power! They did the same to Clinton; trying to run the man out of office from day one! It didn't matter that he was a conservative himself & the country thrived under his leadership! They became the party of no regardless of facts, reason, & even Nationalism! Over decades I've seen so called conservatives more than double the Nat'l Debt thru their collective dementia of economics! It's only gotten worse as Obama-care is saving The Nation in so many ways, but Republicans are still nipping at the heels of it even though their own constituients benefit from it as much or more than any! Remember "red states" get back more than they actually send to the Fed even though you hear BS from the right how irresponsible blue state gov'ts are! They couldn't sink low enuf as all sacred cows were slaughtered 20 yrs' ago! All politicians are openly using profanity to get their message across & to sink in! Now being led by a "mad mad," there is "no shame" w/ the "far right!" They defend the indefensible! As a Senior, I just SMH as we willfully allow the degradation of our Democracy! The "far right" just doesn't GAF & they prove it everyday Trump's polls are above 30%! End Rant!

I think you’ve misunderstood what I wrote: to the insane, sanity looks like madness. All the deranged modish notions of the left make political moderates look like they’re the radicals…
