Donald Trump 2018
I agree with that, but what it's come to is, instead of pulling things back in the right direction - which to me is back to the left - the Democrats have conceded the terms of the debate and are just fighting for the status quo. You may disagree, but I suspect that that's partly because they are content with the status quo. I mean, isn't that a big reason that Hillary lost, because she thought that support from minorities along with economically well off liberals (i.e. people happy with the status quo) was enough to win?

Because I voted for Hillary? What?

Ok. What about the policies of the current Democrat party do you find to be characteristically left?

Look, right now, the Ds no the can vote in lockstep against the Rs as their strategy is to be 100% anti-Trump. I get it. This still doesn't change the overall trends, and it really makes no difference as to what actually happens.

It's only vast in the perspective of current American politics. In comparison to the range of political positions you see in other developed nations around the world, our "left" party is quite conservative.

Yes, that's one example, but it still passed did it not?

Sorry, I wish there was a difference, but if there is, it's small. If you notice, things have been trending in a particular direction, and that trend has only, if anything, just slowed a bit during the (admittedly brief) recent periods when the Ds have had control of one or more houses of Congress. Obama did nothing end our imperial wars in the Middle East, for ex. There may well be individual Ds that have principles and speak out against tax cuts for the rich and increased defense spending, but other Ds vote for those things and they still happen. If you think the Ds aren't the GOP lite now, you aren't paying attention. Hillary is about as conservative as Nixon, again, if you leave aside social issues. Funny pictures don't change that.

Yeah. I was just hoping, I guess.

Donald Trump 2018
This is the thing. Trump is a goddamn embarrassment, but the two parties mostly differentiate themselves by where they stand on a few hot button social issues (abortion, gay marriage, etc.). They vote mostly the same on the big issues because that's what they're paid to do.

It's worth noting that none of the top three teams (or TCU) has played TTU to this point.

How Fox News works
As homophobic as most conservatives are, it's kinda funny that most of their go-to threats and insults involve explicit references to penises and/or anal penetration, like those are the first things that pop into their heads.

Smith averaged 11.3 points and 5 rebounds per game and impressed scouts with his athleticism and high-level defense."

Tell me about Texas Tech
In just about every other college stadium I've ever visited while wearing Tech colors, I've had a drunk bro (or multiple drunk bros) yell profanity at me (or the group I was with) in a confrontational manner. That includes at OU, UT, UH, & Texas State and even in bowl games at neutral sites. At A&M aggys yelled at us but didn't use profanity, but anyway, it happens. It takes a lot of doing on both sides for that kind of situation to escalate into an actual fight.
