    One of the common argument & debate styles of the Left on which - Trump notwithstanding - the Right will never be able to compete is the rage-out: simply getting so angry that any effort at a reasoned response on the topic will be taken as a personal affront.

        I've always hated that "angriest man in the room wins the argument" approach, & it has only proliferated as an effort to place large areas off-limits to reasoned debate.

        Yep. The right just stays calm and lies.

        Dan, in the Obama era there were plenty of activists pushing his agenda forward which got plenty of press. Why hasn't there been on Trump's side similar activism to push his agenda? This is the crux of Trump's complaint that he is doing it all alone.

        Because a lot of those activists have been deliberately alienated by Trump & his allies & told to go away, or have concluded that they can't possibly defend the president.

        This is why I cannot talk to my Republican friends, they get *so* angry. *So* emotional. I mean, *way* over the top, and once they get triggered, it's impossible to bring them back to reality. There is no reason, no rationality, just sheer anger.

        “Trump notwithstanding” is doing a lot of work there chief.

        If by "reasoned response" you mean "calmly lie to my face and refuse to accept truth", then yeah. I usually get angry at rightwingers because they have no desire to debate any issue on its merits, preferring to make shit up, move goalposts, obfuscate, deflect, and deny.

        The Right's done this too, Dan, or did you miss all the theatrical outrage over allegedly "unpatriotic" gestures by people over the last decade. I hate all of it too, but let's be honest about all the sources of it.
