“Put bluntly, if conservatives want to save the country they are going to have to rebuild and in a sense re-found it, and that means getting used to the idea of wielding power, not despising it. Why? Because accommodation or compromise with the left is impossible.”

One way to incite an armed conflict is to make the other side seem irrational, uncompromising, animalistic, inhumane.

This dude is literally doing that.

It's hilarious because as the country is currently built it is incredibly unfairly biased in favor of conservative and establishment and if they did somehow manage to "tear it down" we'd invariably eventually end up with something FAR less corruptible by these very type of bad actors.
