If “protecting our children” (by shutting them away until they are old-enough to ”understand”), without seeing how a “good citizen” takes a disappointing election result, like a rational, functional, human being, then maybe I shouldn’t raise children?

Well, I will show them history of course, but I will keep them away from gender indoctrination. So glad I do not have kids nor want kids.

On the world market of the political-spectrum they’re a center-right party.

Umm… no. Completely disagree. While accurate in that the presence of the far left is rising in Europe with trans issues (thank goodness the conservatives banned trans surgery for minors). The far left is just as vociferous as it is here. People flying their hands to the street to block traffic, destroying monuments and priceless artwork in protest to oil.

The are setting the most attention. But that is NOT the majority.

Liberalism is liberalism regardless of country.

Exception is the Middle East where modern liberal issues ends in jail or death.

The USA has “far left” people ‘tis true, but only a tiny fraction of them are in the Democratic Party, and none are in leadership positions.

Cough cough. AOC, cough cough the ‘squad’. Cough cough.

Remember the senior Democrat standing front of the Supreme Court threatening retribution Jurist by name if they voted against his desires. Then mobs surrounding those jurist homes and an armed assassin intercepted on his way to the home.

Ms Ocasio-Cortez is on two committees, hardly “leadership-positions”.
Schumer’s got a big mouth?
How does that make him “far left”?

Because he broke ranks with his own Party?
Like someone who thinks that he cannot allow himself to be a member of the Party that wouldn’t forgive him for losing to Obama?

It’s not the left’s fault the right doesn’t like one of their own [late] and ostracized him out of the Party.
That’s their own doing.

Sure, the left thinks that this Romney is swell, a principled a Republican is worthy of such high praise!

I don't know how "principled" he is; claiming to be a "severe conservative", and yet failing to conserve, whenever presented with the opportunity. I did vote for him for POTUS, however.

I personally would prefer more in Congress like my congressman, Warren Davidson OH, or Thomas Massie KY, and Rand Paul KY in the Senate, and less of the Schumer's, McConnells, and Pelosi's

She is the face of the Democratic party now that Pelosi is no longer speaker. She and Omar, are answers to the word association game, when someone says "Democrats!".

It's a shame they ran Tulsi Gabbard out of the party. I wouldn't have voted for her, but also wouldn't be concerned for the country had she won.

She’s serving in her third Congress, she doesn't have enough seniority to do much but since she’s a lefty, right-minded folks think that the people in her own Party fawn all over her, (we don’t).

I to take away from this is you’re fine with trans-people existing if they just keep quiet and go away so that you don’t have to hear about it?

That's kinda life isn't it?

No one has an opinion on what you do in the privacy of your own home, it's when you bring it into the public sphere that problems arise.

Remember when Maxine Waters went on National Television and said Trump staff and Republicans have to be confronted and told they are not wanted.

And people chased them out of restaurants and assaulted them coming out of the Whitehouse?

Or how about the Bernie Supporter who shot Steve Scalise at a baseball game because he was a Republican.

We have suffered with the far left for years, it is just that their crimes are either ignored, denied or dismissed.

Our (collective) reaction to these pitiable few (0.6%) is “allowed” to be different from ew, disgusting, they need to stay out of the public’s view, but we’re going to go with whatever feels right, I guess?

No. Homosexuals used to be persecuted the second they were discovered. No "out in public" required.
