      Can we not be defeatist? Being realistic is always good but defeatism is counter-productive. Trying to fix things is better than not trying.

      Yes, we can try to fix things. We can also try to keep the Lusitania afloat with a bucket brigade as the torpedoes keep hitting.

      OK, you be defeatist. I'd rather hear from & read the ideas of people working for better communication, compromise & balance.

      But we've tried everything. What else is left? I'm open to ideas here.

      Why should I have empathy for people who plot 2 kill Muslims, call black people racist slurs and who say "grab em by the pussy"?

      Don't. But don't think this defines conservatives either.

      Millions live in fear of these people. Not because of the lamestream media, but because of what Conservatives have done and said

      Fear those things and stop exacerbating them. Act in ways to improve the situation.

      What do you mean, exacerbate? We exacerbate them by existing. And why must we accommodate those who hate us?
