> how they brought it upon themselves by their reaction and their was little for them to say against it other than "Dehumanizing" because twitter tos. Still don't feell comfortable jumping all into such bandwagons, but this one was close.
at least, it has brought some funny reactions like the old times when one laughed at Tumblr. It´s a cheap meme but it shows that one little image could trigger so much and represents the sector of mindless drones for arguing at anything. I haven´t jumped on it either but as you said, /pol/ and Reddit have returned to those funny standards with this one instead of forcing memes like soyboy or numale so hard. 

> This rings true with me so much. Love politics but as both sides get more militarist and fearful they just wanna put ya in one of 3 boxes it seems (My enemy, somebody who is enabling my enemy, my tribe). 
if any society has that polarization, it means that politicians will play more with that situation of division while filling their pockets while you argue and cannot reach formal discussion. Pretty sad and frustrating even though that comes more from an educative aspect than just politics.

> I am very right wing, but also pretty self critical, yet not in acceptance of leftwing cultural terminology in that cultural criticism which makes me a bit of an outsider in both the moderate and hardline republican factions. 
yeah, a centrist over there. I would be like that as well if I lived over there. If you have a little it of acceptance, too beta for the Republicans; if you are a bit harsh and critical in terms of inclusion and immigration, bam fascist and racist >>>/into/ the Republican side you earn your fame. 

What the hell is this bullshit? No middle ground option.....I feel you. Anyway.... 

> Not gonna say any more other than I totally feel ya there.
considering that I am the only right wing member in my family, they don´t want to see why I have become one and have left the family in that aspect. As if being a center right wing was a crime, but here, we also have lots of leftist propaganda that while it doesn´t reach your level of absurdity, it´s not that far in terms of constant demagogy. They thought I would be a left wing because I have the blood of my grandfather who fought in the Republican side in the war. However, that´s not a valid argument and I still think that one has to achieve his own thoughts over time with one self and his mind.

So,yeah. I knew what you felt and kind of reminded me of myself in 2016 in a lesser extent. 

> I've also thought of it as like a chemist in trying t balance various groups. 
acid and basic compounds getting combined to modify the pH depending on the medium you want to fit in. The balance of it is pH=7.....water...the one that we drink everyday. Try to go for the extremes and drink bleach or chloride acid and see what happens.
 
> Enough hardliners to prevent them from ceding ground to the left and donor class, enough libertarians to try to oppose more authoritarian ideas.
depending on the situation your country is in, one has to mold the ideas more or less depending on the principals and priorities. It´s always a cycle and that balance can actually work for more lax or harsh decisions. 

> A few of the more pragmatic moderates who can sometimes be needed to keep an area from going left wing and when they still exist, right wing democrats
the unfortunate thing is that those are unpopular and do not sell themselves that wel.. Normally they are called weather vane, feeling like they betray their voters for X decisions. Those should be like the narrators of common sense. 

I mean, I honestly don´t know what´s wrong with your ideal system. Politics always follow a full circle that gets repeated by itself and if it has to happen, all the parts should act properly and responsibly for what they do.

Nonetheless, they like the circus and playing with us....and here´s what we´ve got.
