(58,785 posts)All their most irrational, unworkable, and ruthless and dangerous traits. Both types believe only they are pure and honest enough to provide the always critically needed answers and both despise the representative and cooperative aspects of republics. They both feed and thrive on trouble. And all may become more and more extreme until they end up in the other camp as time goes on, if the supporting conditions don't melt away. Big Money is making sure they don't in order to use them to destroy the advances of over a century.
Here's where scientists say they differ: Left-wing zealots tend to believe in forcing "universal principles" on everyone for their own good (again, they're the ONLY ones wise enough to appreciate what those are--everyone else on the left is corrupt). The far right tends to believe they have to stop all those evil "others" (almost everyone else) from destroying them by going after them first. BIIIG differences, so big that right and far left occasionally become excited by the same very bad leaders and vote together to overthrow good governments.

(12,158 posts)I have been looking online for the quote of hers saying that people should commit suicide when they reach the age of 60 to avoid being burdens to society. I heard her say it on a nighttime talk show years ago. How old is she now?

Okay then .....
Not anything nuts about Rosanne and others backing away ..... people should be questioning and finding out why ........
Just a friendly reminder , nothing more ..... As 2018 and 2020 roll around may want to keep an eye on percentage of Independents

Democrats should see people like Rosanne Barr, who thrive on being contrarian, as a test for where the party went wrong? This is your argument?

(92,280 posts)incumbent, republican, and most of those Democrats were quite progressive.
Right, there is no difference between the two parties. Just look at the Supreme Court Justices appointed by Democrats verses republicans? Of course that might take some critical thinking skills.
Another famous idiocy, "they need to give me a reason to vote for them"
Right. The Supreme Court wasn't reason enough, women's rights weren't reason enough, Civil Rights weren't reason enough, Healthcare, social security, and Medicare weren't reason enough, so they elected a racist, bigot, sexist.
Not surprisingly, the Ralph Nader's, Jill Stein's, Susan Sarandon's, and others of that mindset, willfully PUSHED THE LIE that "there was no difference between the two parties", along with that false equivalency that the media was only too willing to propagate, where major forces in the 24/7 propaganda that polluted the airwaves.
When CNN entertains the view point, "Are Jews People", they are part of the problem:

(2,559 posts)She deliberately screeched out an off-key tone-deaf childish rendition of the national anthem at a major baseball game, and finished it by grabbing her crotch. I'm no flag-worshiper but her stunt was just vulgar and stupid.
Small wonder she's a Trumpeter today.
LyndaG
(683 posts)Claims Hillary is responsible for getting her talk show cancelled! That show was so bad, it was never picked up by a regular channel around here.
Politically, Roseanne does swing back and forth. She supported W for awhile, then before you knew it, began badmouthing him.

Roseanne Says Having 7 Personalities Is Tough
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=103650
SNIP...Roseanne, who first told the world that she has multiple personality disorder in 1994, says it's not easy dealing with switching between "Somebody" and "Nobody."
Those are just two of the names the former sitcom queen has given to her personalities, which she says total seven in all. The rest she calls Baby, Cindy, Susan, Joey, and Heather...SNIP
Archae
(46,340 posts)Never.
Her stand-up was only annoying.
Her sitcom was only stupid, and the "it was all a dream" really hit a low point.
She's obnoxious, boring, and a liar.
"Multiple personalities" my ass.
