Great stuff, but it’s worth noting that this really only applies to the US Conservative/Liberal divide… wouldn’t apply in many countries

Interesting how he …
Interesting how he described the sponsorship of conservative think tanks. They used to shoot people who worked against their “freedom” now they spend half a billion dollars a year on “conservative thought” with which they dilute the public discourse and mire more responsible sentiments in the no mans land of ideological rhetoric. If they werent so corrupt the debt wouldnt be 9 trillion.

oh my… he stopped …
oh my… he stopped speaking on linguists and now he’s using linguistics to dupe the audience using words like nurturing family for liberals and strict discipline family for conservatives
it’s real non-sense this is trying to be politically correct yet biologically socially domestically incorrect
he’s still stuck on the 60s fad of feminism while if you read on the current literature of the leading authors of 60s they are all in a state of confusion for the horror they had unleashd on women
