The thing that is most destructive ... the attitude that, if you don't agree with us on every point, you are the enemy.

That is an old trait of the left. It has been the way they have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory too many times.

It's similar over here too, although perhaps not as bad. I suppose it's a matter of where you stand.

But there is a growing anti-Trump movement afoot. We are in bad need of a return to the center.

Heh. "Lumpers" and "splitters". back in the

I am intrigued, if you don’t mind, please tell me more!
(About that bit of data modeling history, not about the political stuff.) Feel free to start different thread for this if you wish. Thanks!

It's certainly not limited to the left. Both Stalin and Bush the younger said "if you're not completely with us, you're completely against us."
