MODERATORS
 

Nearly a third of Americans – 30% – say people may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.

It’s a sharp rise from 18 months ago, when 19% of Americans said the same.

I can't remember... Historically how has fascism been defeated? It's right there, but for the life of me I can't recall. Can you help?

I don't remember, how many countries in Europe installed Fascist governments after Lenin came in?

I can cherry pick historical facts too.

Cherry picked? A world war is a cherry picked fact? Well now we know your delusions aren't limited to present issues.

If you feel name calling is a viable tactic, I guess I'll have to cede to your vast intelligence and withdraw. I may be deluded but I know when a conversation is a waste of time.

Name calling would be something like "you're an idiot". Saying you're delusional for minimizing arguably the worst war in human history as a cherry picked fact is descriptive. But yes, this is a waste of time.

Idealists thinking that humans, notoriously violent mind you, have somehow evolved beyond violence WHILE VIOLENCE IS OCCURRING is absolutely insane!

It's a waste of time, but you'll keep it going. When I say I laughed out loud at your comment, it's no delusion.
