No, it's a true depiction of how bad things really are. It is actually the opposite of partisanship.

"Thoughtless" insistence on marriage equality is responsible for weakening trust between citizens? No it was fear mongering pieces like this that suggest so:

The opposite of partisanship...
...from the near wholly and proudly conservative National Review...
...written by climate change denier Ian Tuttle...
...sure.

Conservative, but not partisan. They've been going after Trump and the GOP since day 1 of this whole thing. Not as good as it used to be, but NR is still one of the best publications out there.

MLK was at fault for eroding citizens trust by his Thoughtless insistence on civil rights

It's a rag. Full of partisan nonsense. Basically Buzzfeed News with a tie and a strong and ever-present distaste for the left above all else.

That's such a close-minded view. I would never describe the Nation or the New Republic as "rags."

Did you actually read the article? He's not exactly defending Bannon.

That article (and Peter's stance really) is like 99% of my Facebook arguments lately with anti-Statists that flipped from far-left to far-right under the guise of undying political logic in the last couple years.

It's not even close to a piece of apologetics. Nowhere does he do anything to excuse Bannon, or anything that the alt-right says or does.
This immediate attack you do on anything that doesn't align exactly with your beliefs, and what you want everyone else to believe is pretty tiring.
Not even sure why you disagree so extremely with some of the things that I say.

Peter, your article wasn't from Quartz, Slate, or some other leftie publication they agree with so it is wrong and biased at best. In fact, it's a rag. Nevermind the left populist articles are equally ignorant, just don't you dare disagree with them because they said so.
The left can not accept that Trump won this election because of them, and their own ignorant views. The right isn't what caused this!

Your online existence sounds miserable. Perhaps you should just give up this internet thing.

It's because everything you post has some coded rhetoric or hidden agenda behind it, and your cited references often come from your own personal echo chamber.

What a load of crap. The only people responsible for Trump being in office are the people who voted for him.

Who says those aren't leftist rags?
Wait... based on the last line I can't tell if you're being serious or totally satirical... green text?

TBH Facebook is a pretty brutish wasteland of unwavering ideology lately, though I'm a bit thrown for a loop by the variety. Left/Right certainly doesn't apply.

Man, that's some pretty paranoid mind reading you're going for there. When Peter has an agenda, it's pretty blatant... Actually, it's usually explicit. You're talking about a guy who had a whole thread about human rights being inherently Christian.
