No, but it may mean changing either or both of our strategies and tactics and taking a long term view.

Are you suggesting there isn't polarization now between the Dems and the Republicans? Are you suggesting many people don't judge others simply by their expectation of who they are voting for?

Good for Trump and good for the people in Billings. Trump's a start. Trump is a disruptor. We need disruptors.

My long term game involves things like working towards evolving the culture of the teachers colleges so they aren't turning out Marxist foot soldiers who brainwash millions of kids every day that the Left view is the only view. My long term game involves blowing up the culture of journalism schools so they are turning out something other than died in the wool socialists.

And your last paragraph simply reinforces my contention that demographics and liberals have mostly been winning throughout my 60 years.

Hating doesn't get us anywhere. Existing in an echo chamber, as Keith would have us do here, doesn't get us anywhere. This thread was started because someone was objecting to being categorized with the corrupt socialists who run California from their strongholds in the LA and SF areas. I think he's right to object. He, and others like him, deserve our support, not our disdain.

Now I'm off to the gunsmith to pick up a couple guns. Yippee!!
