    United States Unidentified Federal Agents conducting unmarked vehicle snatches of protestors in Portland

    My point was that your experience with helicopter parenting is the fringe exception, not the rule. I was not trying to say your personal experiences weren't real. My experience with homeschooling was that my parents didn't make even the vaguest effort to micro-manage my schooling. They set 'Get...

    ...I hate to break it to you, but from what I've seen both anecdotally and in the limited studies done on such things, you've got it exactly backwards regarding social skills. Some employers (Chik-Fil-A was particularly noted for this) have specifically sought out homeschooled young adults...

    The more important question, is 'how many people are in the CNN bubble now compared to 2016?' The answer to that is 'Less.' A lot of people have been Red-Pilled away from the left as they reveal their derangement more and more, and Biden is an even weaker candidate than Hillary. And on the flip...

    As long as they haven't actually killed anyone, a higher level of restraint must be exercised. There've been, last I checked, 29 deaths in the riots after Floyd's death. A lot of the widespread violence hasn't come to anything more than general rioting and looting though; right now Portland is...

    Good. Dealing with violent arsonists and rioters is well within the remit of government authority.

    It's a big country. I'm sure you can find a couple here and there who've gotten elected dogcatcher, city council in a tiny town, or something similar. They're still completely irrelevant to the level of national debate.

    Sure, if you go to the extreme fringe of the right wing, you'll get some seriously dangerous nuts. However, as people have tried to explain to you multiple times, those people have no control over the conservative movement as a whole, or the Republican Party as a whole. The dark side of the...

    75% of this has always been the right wing platform, and 'tolerance' is arguable, depending on how you define it. The idea that the modern Republican party was ever against these things, is purely Democrat propaganda. If you go back far enough I'm sure you'll find some different things, but at...

    The problem we have right now, is not the limitations of the Constitution, it's that people lack the political will to actually enforce it. The overwhelming majority of the Federal bureaucracy should not, by the terms of the constitution, even exist. Why would trying a new constitution help...

    I agree. It is also important to keep in mind, however, that the way that the law deals with singular perpetrators of petty crimes, differs from how it deals with organized crime. And how it deals with violent insurrection. And make no mistake, this is a violent insurrection. If these rioters...

    'As little force as possible' to accomplish what? Because the levels of force the city has been exhibiting have actively encouraged this behavior. I would absolutely favor using the minimum amount of force needed to effectively end the riots and violence. The problem is, that what will end this...
