[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 4041025, member: 18225"] To me it seems like the convergence of social media, the 24-news cycle, and the general acceleration of the pace of life in general. It’s like a centrifuge, everything and everyone who is in the largest part of the bell-curve gets spun out, and what’s left is the hard left and right extremes. Plenty of Republicans are just fine with abortion, plenty of Democrats are just fine with guns, etc. But you wouldn’t know it, so a guy like Trump gets elected because he pushed every fear button he could find, and guys like Bernie had a huge following because people just want the furniture thrown around. HRC just wanted to replace the same furniture, people weren’t interested. If Bernie had won the D nomination, it’s possible he might be Prez right now...there were a lot of Trump voters who might have voted for Bernie, and a lot of Bernie voters who didn’t vote for obvious reasons. ‘Late-term’ abortion is a red herring, just saying.
