Federal agents are set to begin building a non-scalable fence around the White House, Ellipse and Lafayette Square and 250 National Guardsman have been placed on standby to protect President Donald Trump during any election day unrest.
Major riots and destruction have been promised by leftist extremists should President Trump win reelection.

Maybe they will finally deploy the active denial system to microwave some protestors.

Just fill the moat with alligators, put a couple Seal teams on the bridges. - ( Yes, there is a moat around the White House, that you can't see from outside the grounds.)

What the hell has happened where this is a serious conversation?

Could you imagine in 1992, 1996, (even contested election of 2000) where there was a credible threat the white house might be attacked by american citizens over an election they didn't like?

We have societal decay and marxism spreading at a shocking pace. This is very bad.

Something is seriously wrong with this country when people cannot have a disagreement with you, but also a beer.

We need to get to a point, agree or disagree, where we value the process. Polarization is what is driving hatred, and I see a lot more push towards polarization on the left.

I do not hate people who are liberal. I fundamentally disagree with some of their views, but not all. Why we can't sit down to discuss without being labeled "literally Hitler," is beyond me.

We can. Pretty sure I never called anyone literally Hitler, except maybe Hitler himself.

That being said, I think you're getting a bad media bias here, my social circle has a mix of political ideologies. I don't let political shit get in the way of doing things with other people. Sometimes we discuss political stuff, sometimes we don't. When we do talk about it, we try to argue points and not stoop to meaningless name calling like Libtard or Republicunt, that doesn't really advance a discussion. Most people I talk to seem to more or less have the same experience.

Bottom line, if you can't have a civil discussion with the people around you, look for some new people.

No disagreement. This is how it should be.

IMHO if you let others make up your mind for you without doing any research to see if what they say is true there is something inherently wrong with you.

There's too many people like that to say it's an intrinsically wrong problem. On both sides. It's a "how we teach children" problem. We teach children to merely absorb knowledge, and spit it back. Most of the time that works, for certain subjects that are very mechanical. There's not much discussion when we're talking about how to engineer a building.

However, we clearly are not taking the right approach to teaching children to be critical thinkers. By that, I don't mean "we should teach them conservative viewpoints." I mean more, we should express multiple viewpoints to them, but emphasize that they have to make up their own minds. We can't just hand them the mental work required to conclude something ethically complex. We have to make them do the tough work, to prepare their minds for the work they'll need to do in reality in making a good choice. We have to value the process, and make them value it.

It's also going to be difficult as hell to not be biased in what I suggest, but we have to try to give kids the mental tooling required.

Correct. 460 will not jump a foot, motors and breakers would never work if it did. General rule of thumb is 1" per 1000v open air

un-indoctrinate your kids by encouraging them to seek what they are intentionally NOT being told. I try not to force my personal views on them, just want them to see all sides and choose for themselves.
