The Hate and Anti-Intellectualism of the Modern Democratic Party
By Fletch Daniels

Bill Maher recently played the role of a broken clock and stumbled upon a truth.  He noted that America is potentially heading toward a civil war due to rising anger on both sides of the political aisle.

This is a true sentiment, although he misdiagnoses the cause and effect.  Runaway hate, growing violence, and anti-American extremism on the Left have triggered a rise in righteous anger on the right.

Should President Donald Trump win re-election in 2020, everyone paying attention believes that this will serve as a triggering event that will result in a serious spasm of violence.

Maher immediately followed up his call for ramping back the incendiary language that now defines the political discourse by calling Republicans the equivalent of hate-filled anti-intellectuals.  His idea of offering understanding of Republicans is to say that they are even more hateful than stupid, people to perhaps be pitied instead of despised.

Anti-intellectualism sure ain't limited to the D Party!!!
If change is desired, here's a mild suggestion.
Instantly destroy all the tee-vee's in the universe imposing hard prison time on anyone having one; as it's clearly a mega catalyst of anti-intellectualism.
There is only upside here as a world w/o tee-vee would force mankind to re-discover books, read and reflect, triggering writing and in time discovery. EUREKA!!!

I think I like that idea...BUT... the mind can be manipulated as easily with written words. Maybe more because most people don't "think" anymore.
