As a Hollywood uber celeb'recently reflected in words to this effect 'We have to decide when we take to the ramparts.' and you just know things are getting serious when liberal reasonable types, take their 'resist' movement to the extremes of: 'aux barricades, citoyens!'. But as Herbert Marcuse argued we must be intolerant of the intolerant. But surely that extends to both sides.The US is currently riven with hatred, indeed a fractured society, but let's not be a party pooper for it appears to be too much fun to ridicule, to condemn, or even just to jeer: Psychologists would tern such behaviour ' exhilerants,' Yet hardly a week passes without a mob assembling to excoriate President Trump, to add fuel the online mobs never disperse. Will the day come in the US when people start talking about things they like rather than the people they loath
