Wait a minute - aren't these the same Democrats whose Supreme Court nominee just told us she can't tell us what a "woman" is because she's not a biologist?

The response from the Supreme Court nominee was the best possible response. She was given a trick question that was meant to start an argument about what a woman is. This is unrelated to M. Trump's comments, which reflect many of our concerns. The GOP is no longer 'conservative'. They've become radical and rabid over the past 40 years.

That's right.

The GOP is now where Democrats were when JFK was president.

Democrats, are generally communists or Marxists looking to remake the country.

Conservatives, or Lincoln Republicans who brought freedom to slaves and liberty to the people, are generally homeless. They can vote occasionally with the GOP, but they should be diametrically opposed to anything from Democrats, just as a policy.

You are kidding, I hope.

This is the opposite of what's happening. The GOP are radicalized, for the past 40 years. They're NOTHING like the Ike Conservatives. 90% of Dems are far more centrist today than they've ever been.

They used to be liberals and now they are authoritarian.

They used to believe in equal opportunities, now they believe everyone should be judged on their characteristics and background.

I guess you could call that a move towards the centre.

Seems this is a concern about Boomers. Yes, many who were liberal in the 1960s became GOP in the 1980s, because of difficulties in the late 1970s. 'Conservative' approaches failed in 1987-1992, and 2001-present in the US and UK. The GOP have radicalized their party in the past 40 years, whereas only a far right portion (eg. UKIP &c) of the Tories have radicalised part of their party in the UK.
