I said, &#8220;Don&#8217;t do it!&#8221; He said, &#8220;Nobody loves me.&#8221; I said, &#8220;God loves you. Do you believe in God?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>  He said, &#8220;Yes.&#8221; I said, &#8220;Are you a Christian or a Jew?&#8221; He said, &#8220;A Christian.&#8221; I said, &#8220;Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?&#8221; He said, &#8220;Protestant.&#8221; I said, &#8220;Me, too! What franchise?&#8221; He said, &#8220;Baptist.&#8221; I said, &#8220;Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?&#8221; He said, &#8220;Northern Baptist.&#8221; I said, &#8220;Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>  He said, &#8220;Northern Conservative Baptist.&#8221; I said, &#8220;Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?&#8221; He said, &#8220;Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.&#8221; I said, &#8220;Me, too!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>  Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?&#8221; He said, &#8220;Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.&#8221; I said, &#8220;Die, heretic!&#8221; And I pushed him over.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This pretty much sums up how I see the Democratic party (and general left-of-center ideologies in the US) right now.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people who agree on 90%+ of what we want. But damned if we won&#8217;t eat each other alive over that last 10% and let everything burn down in flames in the process.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Voted One Of The Funniest Jokes In The World - by Emo Phillips Crazy Coder\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WjQTiD3tzAk?start=120&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>90% agreement, 10% burn it all down to the ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2042],"tags":[3767,14],"class_list":["post-23755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-emo-philips","tag-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23755"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23755\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
