The irony of this interaction is this is the first time I saw a democrat disagree with me and not throw a fit and get toxic and start blocking. It actually had me sitting here second guessing if there might be a few good ones.... then she blocked me... The irony is she would have done more to change my mind otherwise and threw away any positive effect she had in the end.

@freemo Ever seen a kid in the supermarket who demands some candy or junk food? The parent says no, the kid gets more and more hostile, and gets his way on the third try?
That kid will grow up to be a monster unless either a teacher or later on a cop seriously corrects him.
A lot of people have that approach to politics. There are whole interest groups that have got their way through a social tantrum.
This will stop when they get the sort of correction a kid throwing a tantrum needs.
@mike805 While I am not sure we would agree on what interest groups deserve support I do tend to agree that even the groups that DO deserve support tend to be in tantrum mode.. in fact right now 100% of everyone and everything with any attachment to politics of any kind is just in a perptual tantrum... Tantrums work right now for damn near everything and on both sides of the aisle... its getting tired.
