The problem is that if everything you said here comes to fruition they will still find a way to pin the blame on the “liberal elites”.

I love how conservatism is one of the most mean-spirited political movements out there today, if not ever.
It’s the “I Got Mine” school of politics. Unless there someone in her family struggling with it, she gives no fucks. It’s like a politician being against abortion or gay rights until someone in their family needs one or is one.
But the cruelty is often in service of white nationalism.
I honestly don’t understand how people can be so cruel. Just gleefully, unabashedly horrible.
The only twist worthy of shock in this show was that Maeve was actually programmed to do all the things we were up to that point believing she was choosing to do. That was a good bit of twist.
I was actually expecting the brother in law to be the man in black because there were so many clues that it was William. I thought here was no way it would be that obvious.
I agree with you completely. I’ve been arguing about this with liberal friends in the northeast for years now... they have no idea how terrible public education is basically anywhere outside of bougie coastal suburbs. I graduated from public school in Indiana with classmates that couldn’t read, and almost none who had…
It’s a problem that traces its roots to the American educational system and thus requires a long-term solution involving a radical overhaul of how Americans are taught to think.
What can be done to combat this kind of thinking? I have immediate family members that just flatly refuse to grapple with facts-- when they’re confronted with them, they just say, “I don’t believe that”. It feels like democracy hangs on us figuring out a way to bring these people back into the realm of reality, but I…
I’m sorry, I can certainly agree that there were and are reasons to be disgusted with be politics of the moment, but for as long as the human race exists, no one will ever come up with a non-stupid reason to make Donald goddamn Trump the president of the United States.
Why didn’t more people who need jobs and a better economy vote against Trump?
Including, crucially, many of the people Democrats assume are their natural constituency, with black turnout (to pick an example) lower enough that it could have swung the election. The Detroit metro area, for example, had 16% lower turnout than in 2012. That’s enough to have potentially given her Michigan. Which I…
True. What I am saying is those people are smart enough to buy the left’s intellectual arguments (well most are, some are caught up in anti-intellectualism), but they don’t have the luxury of thinking it over. They want change to improve their lives and they want it now. They voted for Obama on that promise and when…
But why are people who are voting for jobs and the economy voting for Trump?
Okay. But why are people who are voting for jobs and the economy voting for Trump? The two things holding our economy back are wages and taxes. Raise the minimum wage to stimulate growth and tax top earners to balance our commitments.
I’m thinking about it—what if we were able to present the opinion of someone affected by Castro without commentary, while also holding the belief that Saudi Arabia’s rights record and Guantanamo are bad? That’d be wild. If only it were possible...
