l on Twitter. And I thought did I do that? Who else was talking about this obscure little article in The Root? Did I make that viral? I don't know the answer to that actually. But so Ben had some disagreements with the article which are worth reading. I will not repeat them because I know Ben will be called all kinds of bad names for having an opinion as he often is. So then I hope he can survive the pushback on that article.

All right so Steve Cortes has an article I just tweeted talking about how it seems to be a more coordinated strategy by the Democrats to slander Republicans and supporters of the president. So there's more and more we're seeing. It's not brand new but it seems like it's picking up steam. The labeling of Trump supporters as being bad people. This is kind of new. This is kind of new. I don't know if I can think of any time in the past when the supporters of a candidate were demonized for being you know the devil because they support the devil I guess.

So we went through the phases of being deplorable and racists and now the latest is cultists. So Steve Cortes has a great article and check it out. It's in my Twitter feed or his. You can see the link.

And I've started to wonder is that something that Republicans should do back? In other words is that something that should be returned? And I suppose you could say it is already happening because Trump supporters like to call people on the left socialists and communists except those are names they use for themselves so it doesn't really hurt anybody to call him a socialist when they're labeling themselves socialists.

I'm going to go back to a general gross generalization. All right here's a gross generalization. The thing that describes conservatives the best and I think I'm the only person who's ever said this. I've never heard this anywhere else. Well I'm sure somebody said it but I'm not aware of anybody else. The thing that defines conservatives is a collective agreement that everybody should be following the same set of rules. Not the same outcomes but that we should all have the same set of rules and that those rules must be agreed upon in a principled way such as the Constitution and such as the laws.

Now I'm always impressed by conservatives who think that. And I'm not going to argue abortion here so my opinion will not be present in the next comments. I'm talking about other people. Conservatives believe that abortion is literally murder. It's murdering babies and it's happening by the millions every year. Have you ever been amazed at conservatives who are armed to the teeth believed that murders are happening by the tens of millions? Babies. They believe that babies are being murdered by the tens of millions in this country. They're armed to the teeth and they allow it. In other words there's no revolution. Now you get a crazy person now and then who shoots an abortion doctor but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about in general conservativ
