I donât think there is any avoiding it now. Even if the damage were brought under control this very minute, our trust is gone. The idea that civilized people and barbarians can peacefully co-exist is clearly laid bare as a total delusion. We can never unsee the ugly truth now.
And very soon we will be completely outvoted. You realize several states have already signed a pact that will essentially do away with the Electoral College, right? When just a few more states sign on every presidential election will be decided by popular vote because ALL of those states will only allow their electoral votes to go to the popular vote winner.
I remember when the fairness doctrine kept public discourse fairly courteous and on a kind of Golden mean. The Powell Memo and Reagan put an end to that, and the conversion of Republican to Authoritarian commenced. God save us now. Thanks for proving the point.
I read something once that made a lot of sense to me and have since not been able to find it. It went along the lines of:
âWars are not fought to bring about change but to keep things the same.â
It would seem that is what many are fighting for is the foundation that had been very successful versus those ones who want to radically change it into something that history has proven time and time again to be disastrous.
If you are so concerned with the fairness doctrine then why is your side walking up to innocent people and bashing them in their faces with skateboards? Is that any way to start a reasonable and honest conversation?
I agree the title of this thread should change - can I offer a few suggestions
