From me the root of the problems in American politics is the unholy alliance between the GOP and Fox News. The purpose of this alliance was to subsume populism under the umbrella of conservatism. It had gone too far and we now have a president elect who is a republican but not a conservative. The process by which…

Its weird for me....
My mom was never outwardly racist- infact when I was half a baby she PURPOSELY sought out black and latino families with children my age that I could have play dates with so I experience different people first hand. I remember when I was little my mom having serious conversations with me about how…

Look, the point is we know what’s coming. It’s exactly what Bush did in 2004. We weren’t in power after ‘02 midterms; and were blamed for everything. Meanwhile the nation was told that you were with Bush or with the terrorists. And that shit worked. And if you don’t think it’ll work again on the people who just voted…

The media is absolutely biased toward the cult of fairness. They’re so afraid of being called “the liberal media” that they purposely avoid the hard truths in favor of equivocation. And like the rural poor who continue to vote against their own interests and can’t understand why their shit stays broken, their efforts…

They shouldn’t act racist and sexist if it makes them said to be called racist and sexist. I might not going to stop calling shit out just because it makes people sad.

This is what I’m wondering too. I’m not sure how a guy like Trump becomes a champion for these downtrodden people in the rust belt. Trump is the very embodiment of the rich, white factory owners who left these people behind. His party stands in direct opposition to everything that will benefit these people (decent…

Oh stop the bullshit. Trump had one message, kick out the foreigners. And racists middle American and the south responded. How many times did Trump supporters say being PC was destroying America. PC meaning putting up with minorities. Go fuck yourself and your bullshit excuse for choosing a racist President.

It is a lot easier to determine the point of the switch. Working class rust belt whites have seen their communities getting worse while the rest of the country bounced back.

Right, we get that. But its not all this one thing or all this other thing. Its in somewhere in the middle, like it always is.

That only works for Republicans, because they hate government and have a vested interest in making government not work.

The Republicans built a hell of a feedback loop, though. They repeatedly shit on working class whites, and then convince them that they’re covered in Democratic shit. The shit-covered working class whites vote more Republicans into office, and the cycle builds on itself.

Good Afternoon,

Why not? The republicans will call us sore losers or change the rules or both...and for some reason that will stick to us in a way it didn’t stick to them because...the media is biased?

I’m ready for Dems in congress to just go full Tea Party. No attempts at governing, just obstruct whatever the opposing party is trying to do and hope you get rewarded come midterms because they’re in charge now and then everything can be blamed on the GOP. Why not?

I mean, it’s basically the same scenario Brian Madison faced, when he had to choose Eric Gordon or his son, Billy, to give control of his Fortune 500 hotel company. Except in this case, Billy is not a lovable goof with a heart of gold, but an unrepentant asshole.

That’s not really a counterpoint, if the Trump Trade is to short the S&P and buy gold.

I just can’t follow the election anymore. If someone says there is a one in a ten chance the Carrot Demon could win, it sends me into a panic. It’s like a one in ten chance a large asteroid will hit the earth.

Ana Navarro Voted For Hillary Clinton

Well, but as someone else on Twitter noted, Beck evidently acts sane every few years to get mainstream coverage for his shows, then, in those shows, goes back to living just this side of Alex Jones’s Looniverse.
