        When did this "co-opting" take place?

        The Beer Prayer - Our lager, which art in barrels, hallowed be thy drink. Thy will be drunk, I will be drunk, at home as it is in the tavern. Give us this day our foamy head, and forgive us our spillage as we forgive those who spill against us. And lead us not to incarceration, but deliver us from hangovers. For thine is the beer, the bitter and the lager, for ever and ever. Barmen.

        When they started using it in their rallies

        Before the oath, Trump has managed to surpass 2nd term Nixon for paranoia, 2nd term Reagan for corruption & 2nd term Bush for incompetence.--R. Schooley Frank Wilhoit: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” The president fired the FBI director to obstruct a federal investigation into possible collusion with a foreign power to fix an election. - Jesse Berne

              When they push their views, particularly religious views, upon others around them - they violate one of the great principles upon which this country was founded.   They are destroying a supporting foundation of the greatness - and thus not only hate it but are its enemy. And, of course, those that want to buy an arsenal of weapons, hold up in some compound (in Idaho, perhaps?) and decide they don't have to live by the laws of the land - and got the weapons to defend the right to be separatists (how is that different, than, say, islamic seperatist anywhere else in the world?). Pick and choose amendments and rights for others? They hate this country. They want to make it into something else - and it's not into anything good - except of course for them.

              Um, yeah, that's what a minority of these people believe for sure, but what does that have to do with hating your country? Why does insisting on having your (perceived) rights mean you hate your country? People who live in free countries and demand freedoms are taken away....that's who hates their country.

                    I think it's relatively important because your hero, President Barack Obama, prominently flew the "Betsy Ross" flag at his inaugurations. :rolleyes: I like pointing out your endless hypocrisy.

                        Right-wing religious asswipes have, for example, put obstacles and are trying remove a woman's right to chose to have a baby or not (even when their papa raped them). Pushing your religious views on others who don't share them, especially trying to legislate it, is trying to undermine the very fabric of the nation. And as for what religion the country was founded on - the fact that the FIRST amendment forbids the establishment of any religion for the country shows the founders wise enough to understand every step towards theocracy is, indeed, a step towards hell. If you're a big 2nd Amendment supporter, perhaps you'll figure out part of the reason for the second amendment is to allow defense of the FIRST amendment! As for the arsenal nuts? You claim it's just a few - but they do get more headlines then just regular boring people. Is it really inconceivable to you that most liberals are similarly far more mainstream then the ones who make the news and talk-show circuit? Hopefully, if you don't get it yet, you'll eventually realize that everyone's shit stinks. And as far as making America great, again? That will occur when we get a president who is more dedicated to serving the country than serving himself. We see the crap that a lying cheating narcissist is doing - he tells you it's wonderful in his pre-K version of English and you really want it to be true.

                              No they didn't. They caved to a ridiculous request from an idiot. The Betsy Ross flag is associated with the American revolution not white supremacists. Only idiots would give neo-Nazis any value at all. I certainly don't.

                                          Right-wing religious asswipes have, for example, put obstacles and are trying remove a woman's right to chose to have a baby or not (even when their papa raped them). Pushing your religious views on others who don't share them, especially trying to legislate it, is trying to undermine the very fabric of the nation. And as for what religion the country was founded on - the fact that the FIRST amendment forbids the establishment of any religion for the country shows the founders wise enough to understand every step towards theocracy is, indeed, a step towards hell. If you're a big 2nd Amendment supporter, perhaps you'll figure out part of the reason for the second amendment is to allow defense of the FIRST amendment! As for the arsenal nuts? You claim it's just a few - but they do get more headlines then just regular boring people. Is it really inconceivable to you that most liberals are similarly far more mainstream then the ones who make the news and talk-show circuit? Hopefully, if you don't get it yet, you'll eventually realize that everyone's shit stinks. And as far as making America great, again? That will occur when we get a president who is more dedicated to serving the country than serving himself. We see the crap that a lying cheating narcissist is doing - he tells you it's wonderful in his pre-K version of English and you really want it to be true.

                                          You don't have to be religious to be anti-abortion, and as far as I know if abortion is legal or not isn't a particularly partisan issue. Not in a pure sense anyway, it has been an artificially partisan issue since Nixon. Outside of the US (here in the UK just to give one example I'm personally familiar with) it's not a party political issue at all. Women should be allowed abortions and that's that, all parties pretty much agree.

                                          I'm not going to argue the constitution with someone that clearly doesn't understand it. And I'm from the UK.

                                          Surely we can agree that "preppers" are an extreme minority of the population?

                                          Is it really inconceivable to you that most liberals are similarly far more mainstream then the ones who make the news and talk-show circuit?

                                          It's not what is conceivable, there are studies that show right-wing people are generally centre right with the obvious outliers, and liberals have shifted greatly toward the extreme left. Here's one study http://assets.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/10/05162647/10-05-2017-Political-landscape-release.pdf You'll probably find articles that break it down a bit, that's a hell of a read. I could link you to some but I don't want to give you the opportunity to simply attack the source and not the argument.

                                          The economy is doing great, disadvantaged people are doing great, he's tackling nuclear disarmament on the Korean peninsula. Seems to me he's doing a pretty good job, not just for America but for the rest of the world. Deescalating issues with Iran and North Korean is good for the whole world, no? Or do you hate Trump so much that you're going to
