Nah.
I don't recall crying anything. But you're not interested in even-handed treatment of both sides, and there's not convincing you otherwise.

Progressives have been swallowing absolute BS from the pseudo-conservative movement for about 30 years now. Their ideology failed. Miserably. Their punditry have destroyed and divided the character of the country. Their wrong-headed policies cost us trillions. Their optional wars cost us lives. Their criminal neglect of energy, health, resource conservation, and environmental issues may have done permanent damage.
"Progressives". That's cute. Change the name because "liberal" has been bastardized to mean exactly what the "progressives" want: big government, with the people totally reliant upon it. The secret got out and the negative connotation stuck...for good reason.
But let's ignore that...as well as facts, why don't we? Let's ignore the "progressive" majority in the Congress for the majority of those 30+ years. Let's ignore the filibustering by the "progressives" to keep laws that may have just prevented some of those things from happening from ever leaving committee. Let's ignore the "progressives" who voted for that "optional" war and then continued to vote to fund it. Let's ignore the "progressives" who funneled pork back to their districts, ballooning the debt...via the budget, which, by the way, is controlled by the Congress. And who ran the Congress for the majority of those 30+ years? That's right, kiddo...the "progressives".
Fucking blind, hate-filled ideology on both sides is about as useful as tits on a boar.

The movement needs now to die a quick but painful death, buried alongside Zombie Joe and Calamity Jane. The leaders have made billions for themselves and have nice homes tucked away in Bahrain and Dubai. They got away with it, they managed to swindle 50% of the population for long enough that they could loot the once greatest nation on earth like it was an open bank vault.
Both "movements" need to die. Neither is doing anything useful for the nation. They are both too focused on their own ideology and not at all on the needs of the people they were elected to represent.
