like I said previously, I used to loathe David Frum.... but politics in the Trump era make him seem reasonable... and at least someone that thinks about things critically... that's how far right the needle has shifted.
<pssst i bet the response is an ad hominem .. or calling the media "Fake News"...>

This forum is pretty far left for the most part. Anybody who tries to come in with what is considered a "conservative" opinion, get's flamed and lumped in as some Trump supporting tinfoil hat wearing infowarrior.
I've always maintained that Trump was going to be a disaster. I'm starting to wonder if he was a Democrat plant to implode the GOP from the inside. I know that sounds like "conspiracy theory" but he's been nothing but divisive since he started in politics.
I think both the Dems and the GOP are bad. People need to move away from this left right paradigm and what is essentially a two party system. I reserve the right to be critical of both sides of the aisle, you don't see a whole lot of that from the leftside, on this forum at least.
If Clinton had won, the country would have been likely just as divided. The outcome of the election was never in doubt, a divided populace.
I've kept the ad hominems to a minimum in comparison to the one's leveled against me. I've never called mainstream media "fake news", I just called it left leaning and clearly biased.
