If one were to make a Venn diagram of the principles and attitudes of the Left vs. the Right, on no principle of importance would the circles of interest intersect. They are mutually exclusive, and unless one side gives up some of its principles in order to expand its domain enough to intersect with the other, there will be no commonality. The split is unbreechable.
The SOTU given by Trump was presupposed to be a step toward conciliation. By observing the demeanor and actions of the Left side of the aisle it is obvious that there is no subject upon which the Left will ever give over to Trump - or the Right side of the aisle. They are not the honorable minority; they are the insurrectionist resistance.
So grim and angry was the demeanor of the Left, that one of them, Gutierrez, ran out when chants of USA! filled the hall. USA? Even the existence of an individual nation called the USA triggered him to seek safety from the thought. Pelosi's face was completely embittered the entire time, and the Left rarely even acknowledged what Trump said, sitting stonily stoic.
USA nationalism vs. Globalism. Managed borders and immigration vs. no borders at all. Anti-racism vs. racializing activism and baiting. Leading from forward vs. leading from behind. Strengthening the military vs. feminizing the military. Defining treaties fairly vs. emasculation of the USA in order to favor competing nations.
None of these intersect.
Because Trump has emphasized Law, Order, Constitutional respect, has championed both industry and small business, has survived every attack on himself and the nation, all that the Left has is seditious dreams of ousting a sitting president, even forcibly if necessary, declaring him incapable. All as they frothily and insanely scream epithets. Never programs. Never positions. Never anything nationally beneficial. Pure epithets. Even the Schumer DACA "compromise" was an insane insult, assuming the president to be so stupid as to not realize what he was agreeing to.
Unless Trump relents on principles, there can be no intersection between the deranged Left and Constitutional law, order and tolerance. Because the Left cannot be wrong - ever - and their godliness cannot be defiled by external law, order and tolerance of the deplorables, their positions are rigidly destructive. Being moral arbiters, a function of being gods, which they of course are, any outside mores are rejected and the adherents classified as a) Oppressors, b) subhuman, c) disposable. (Disposability is fully exemplified in abortion, focused on minorities). The existence of the Antifa terrorist thugs, replacement for the KKK terrorists of the Left, and the punch-a-fascist attitude, all these are indicators of the mindsets of the Left.
Until the Left re-acquires at least a semblance of rationality, losing the idiocy of a Pelosi claiming the tax cuts to be first a crime against America and second "crumbs" in the face of demonstrable, empirical reality, there can be no actual conversation due to the derangement.
So, why try? Until the Left becomes civil and sane, why even bother with them? Let them shriek and wail and be ignored (except for entertainment value).
Just wait until Trump declassifies the Nunes memo. The shrieking will be deafening.
