Republicans often push this narrative that a top priority is to stomp out the ISIS extremists, keep Muslims and their extreme religion out of the US, etc.

The truth is Republicans are the very face of a version of ideological extremism; government institutions and spending is always bad.

I have a dear friend who is your typical Fox newser. We've come to agree not to talk politics at all. He's so fact free, without empathy there is really nothing to talk about. No common ground.

I've come to believe things will only change once millennials and younger are in charge. My generation is a lost cause.
