Maybe thinking it's okay to murder someone and burn down a school for telling people not to vote is a very fascist position.

I'm not American and have no dog in this fight but it's fascinating to see it unfold and how blindly fanatical and willfully ignorant both sides can be.

If a Rep punches a Dem they'll justify it as self defense or something. If a Dem punches a Rep it's "okay to punch a Nazi". Even seeing how both sides interpreted the presidential debate was ridiculous. Reps ignoring all of Trump's lies and inability to give a direct answer to a question and a lot of the more fanatical Dems willfully ignoring Biden's obviously declining mental state.

Reps caught up in a cult of personality and Dems willing to vote for anybody that isn't Trump. It's quite scary to see how easily each side can dehumanise the other while thinking they're correct and morally superior.

The way both sides pardon their own calls to violence can't lead to anything good. If 'the other' said or did something you consider to be completely heinous and you'd justify it or praise it were the roles reversed then maybe introspection is in order.

Of course violence is sometimes necessary but there seems to be growing bloodthirstiness from the extremes of the Left and the Right and I fear what might happen in November.

I'm sure I'll be downvoted to fuck but that's just an apolitical outsider's perspective.

It's because it's only bad if the opposition is furnished with those abilities.

No president Left, Right or otherwise would relinquish such power. They'd complain about an opponent gaining it but would see nothing wrong with having it themselves.

I couldn't see any government shying away at a chance to have more power.

Playful and descriptive!

Maybe "dickheadification" instead?

When I'm struggling with a problem it helps me to explain it to my dog. It's great for me to hear it out loud and if he's paying attention, I've got a needlessly learned dog!

I didn't know about the grain or rabbit tests. At least the rabbits got off the hook when the frogs presented themselves as a better option, I suppose.

So sensitive in fact that a really common type of pregnancy test basically involved exposing a particular type of frog to human female urine. The frog being so sensitive to the presence of certain hormones would begin to ovulate if the urine sample was from a pregnant woman.

Really interesting but a bit of a shit lot in life for the frog!

The Americans certainly took their fucking time to get involved though.

Oki dokey.
