Was Abraham Lincoln an extremist? Why did Sherman burn and destroy the South's land? This was a calculated effort–Sherman thought that the war would end more quickly if civilians of the South felt some destruction personally, a view supported by General Ulysses S. Grant, commander of all Union forces, and President Abraham Lincoln. It must be hard to believe everything is truth. What is Putin's truth? >>>We aren't so fragile that we need to believe our "truth" is the only truth.

understand the noise the morons are listening to, thebulwark.com ,maybe, (are there any other credible right wing outlets? NR lost their last shred of legitimacy with nationalreview.com but surely not Fox and Friends. A few minutes with SI winger threads is enough to get the general flavor. Who has enough time for perpetual both-siderism?

I disagree on the root of our current mess. As I see it, prices to up almost every year, the so-called Big Mac test. It goes up year after year, decade after decade but McDs fought to keep wages the same for decades. The real divide isn't me opposing the idiots who think billionaires need money from the government. The real divide is workers getting far less while CEOs and investors get far more. The class that doesn't work thinks it's entitled to all the wealth created by workers.
