It seems like there was once a time in this country where people didn't feel the need to push their political beliefs on everyone else in a public, belligerent way.  They believed what they believed and accepted that others did the same.  Obviously there were outliers and examples of public dissent, but by and large you could interact with people without expecting an outburst.  This time has passes apparently.

I'd like to think so too, but it's hard to see him changing now any more than seeing 70 year old Trump suddenly not tweeting names and acting like a petulant child.

Many people called for a more reasonable dialogue before Nugent did...and as per usual folks like Ted suddenly have a change of heart when words lead to actions.

For example:

.@Judgenap: Why do we have a Second Amendment? It's not to shoot deer. It's to shoot at the government when it becomes tyrannical!

NOW they say that was a quote of someone else and a staffer shared it.

But hey...
