I'm mixed on the idea that the pendulum swings one way politically then swings to another way. I'd like to stir a bit of debate by putting forth the idea that it does not actually exist in reality. The conservatives always take yesterday's positions. As time passes conservatives ape past leftists and conservatives of a bit farther in the past are regarded as putrid monsters. That sounds like a steady shift leftward to me. Sure Nixon follows Johnson, Reagan follows Carter and Trump follows Obama, but that looks to me like a temporary pause.

Sign on the mumble server and I'll argue this with you if you want. Other than that. I have servers to fix man. I'm doing a thing here.

Can hear you now, I was little busy a few minutes ago putting the baby back down.

I'm going to try on my phone because I think that's better than my computer. If that doesn't work, I'll use a friend's mic tomorrow and maybe his computer.
