62. Well, we've tried reason
for an entire twentieth century. We reason, they assault. Nevermind that this country rose to greatness of secular, progressive principles. The proof is not in the pudding for people who don't care about proof.

You want to reason, we'll reason. They don't want reason. Now, thanks to their rancid, unethical assault on Clinton and their immoral rise to and exercise of power under this latest generation of reactionaries, progressives are finally waking up to the fact that there is no compromise with people who don't compromise. They bring a knife, we bring reason. They bring a gun, we bring reason. Doesn't work. At least we're carrying knives to the gunfight now. I don't want to go back. In fact I want us to get alot harder. Guns to gunfights. They don't like that because they feel marginalized and victimized whenever they don't get their way 100%. Well, they're just going to have to feel marginalized and victimized. They won't let it be any other way.

Reaching out to them gets you nothing but attacked and hated. It doesn't work. Historical fact. They will despise you no matter what you do. Time to despise them back and go from there. They have nothing worth keeping for this country and it's long past time to fight back hard. Honesty and decency simply mean nothing to them, so comforting and coaxing doesn't work. They fight either way and the ram their regressiveness down our throats the first chance they get whether we fight them or not. So it's time to fight, and that just isnt' going to be pretty.
