No, it will never stop until everyone just does whatever the .gov wants, including injections of whatever they say is good for you. And sheeple will happily line up for those shots. We're doomed.

If you think only the left never shuts up, realize that both sides do it. You just don't mind hearing it when it is your side and what you want to hear.

This applies both ways. I get as tired from the rhetoric from the left as I do the right.

GET THE VACCINE vs VACCINE/COVID IS FAKE
ALLOW ABORTIONS vs ABORTIONS ARE A SIN
ALLOW GAY MARRIAGE vs GAY MARRIAGE IS A SIN
NO GUN RIGHTS vs GUN RIGHTS ALL THE WAY
REPUBS ARE EVIL vs DEMOCRATS ARE EVIL

One side of that list appeals to you and you don't mind it and think it is 100% right. The other side pisses you off. For me, both sides do.

For I tend to be in the middle and can see both sides of the arguments. Problem is, the knuckleheads THAT WE ELECTED can't figure out how to meet in the middle any longer.
But I guess I shouldn't expect that since as a country, us citizens can't seem to find a way either.

Agreed. I place a lot of blame on the primary system. Since primary elections typically have less participation, the motivated extremists on both sides tend to be overrepresented, resulting in preferential selection of extremist candidates.

I'd almost rather see the primaries go away and all XX of candidates for both sides run in the election. Have as many debates amongst yourselves, etc, and let the public vote. Whittle the candidates down that way.

Agreed that both sides have unhealthy extremes.

The crucial difference is, only one side has the $$$, law-makers, media, politicians, celebrities, in their corner and on their bully pulpits.
