RB did what Hitlery Clinton did ... they decided who was "deplorable" in their prejudiced sight and marginalized them as inconsequential. It became eminently clear that they were intent on transforming RB into a tightly controlled, politically correct, leftist thought-bubble, so I was quite content to immediately walk away and never look back. Of course, like Hitlery, they discovered that they won the initial battle, but then badly lost the overall war.
