I discovered a couple of years ago that the World Bank considers me deep within the category it designates as “super-aged.” That makes me wonder why the hell I’m still cutting trees, and doing my own automobile and household maintenance. I should be sitting back and letting all these young progressives squeeze enough cash out of somebody else so they can have such things done for me.

They probably wouldn’t allow me such services, however. I’m white, and worse yet male, which makes me altogether undeserving of such coddling. Seven generations of Delaware dirt farmers, one schoolteacher turned country doctor, and a sailor who came up through the hatch give me too privileged a pedigree. Nor do I get any credit for the line of oppressed Irishmen on my mother’s side, brought here by the famine and doomed to soil their hands in making a living. I should be sufficiently ashamed of my overindulged forebears to give everything I own to the Southern Poverty Law Center or the commissar of asset redistribution, and then wander off to perish in the wilderness.

"Radical hordes in cities and suburbs can exercise even more political muscle over the peasants"? Haha. This might play to the Fox News junkies but you are fueling ignorance and fear.

Interesting that you omitted the proposed plan in GOP led RED states to steal the votes of its citizens. Say Mississippi votes for Joe in overwhelming numbers. The Republican Governor snd Legislature don’t like that idea so they just “fire” the electors to tye College and replace them with Drumpfsters! And they claim it’s perfectly legal??!!?? The GOP should really think long snd hard about that! They should remember that what is good for the goose is also good for the gander! Just like they should think about this vote for SC justice BEFORE THE ELECTION! If the GOP pushes through this appointment snd Joe and the Democrats win in a blue wave, it would be perfectly legal for them to increase the number of justices to 13 and appoint four liberal justices changing the makeup of the court to 7/6! It is also worth noting that in the last two elections of Democrat Presidents both won by landslides while in the election of the last two GOP presidents were only decided by the Electoral College after losing the popular vote big time! So much for everyone’s vote counting! Imagine the uproar if Coos County alone decided the election of the Governor! What an uproar that would cause! Same thing!

Ah! Logic and reason. The enemy of the Left.

Why use reasoning when emotion and "feelings" are so much easier.

Like children that need discipline. And yes, discipline is not a bad thing. It is a necessary thing if you expect to grow into a responsible, mature adult.

You need to learn how to control yourself, your mind, and your responses.

The opposite of that is chaos, confusion, and recklessness.

Nothing of value ever comes from that.
