When we conservatives hate the liberals, as a whole, as much as they hate us conservatives, we are a part of the problem. It’s hypocrisy to think otherwise. Democrats alone and their different views are not the problem. The overwhelming majority of them, and most conservatives, are good people. Our society does have bits of evil and extremism in it, and an inability to have a conversation (Charlie tried). Both sides = guilty. Neither side has fixed the problem. Out of 340,000,000 of us in the US, only a small fraction are nut jobs, and both sides have some.
