Also, Pop has made me a Spurs fan simply because I like rooting for him. (And I grew up hating the Spurs.)
I think where white people get mixed up is what they’re supposed to FEEL about their privilege. They (we) too often assume it’s guilt or remorse that’s required. When, in reality, it’s kindness and civility and fairness. And most importantly sometimes, it requires outrage for a plight that’s not your own.
If Pop lead a coup to overthrow the current government, I would totally sign up to be in his army.
Yup. Everyday I just get angrier. Honestly I would not give a flying fuck if congress was stormed by angry constituents. And now I’m on a watch list (lol who I am kidding, I’ve been on some watchlist for at least a year now!)
Our votes don’t count for anything because of the Electoral College system and the US House gerrymandering requiring many more Democratic votes that still secure a Republican House, and now we aren’t even able to speak to our “representatives” staffs. I know we aren’t the assholes who invoke “the Founders” and…
In the meantime, let’s make their lives a living hell.
In the past week or so, I’ve gotten through twice and faxed once. I was polite to the staffer (who frankly sounded miserable). I just picked DeVos as the one issue on which to focus. I tried to appeal to his self serving nature by saying, “This isn’t a partisan issue. She is flat out unqualified. The Senator doesn’t…
State reps are supposed to be working FOR us- instead they’re locking their doors on these women and refusing to answer our calls. Let’s not forget this in 2018.
Counter-point, Picking Wildflowers is a request and actually kind of sexy. Also sexy if Dierks Bentley does it.

There is basically a song for that

Yeah, that’s the reason I don’t listen to any of the new country these days. Although, this is my anthem for the next four years:
Chesney is pretty candid in saying he did “She thinks my tractor’s sexy” but was smart enough to never go there again. (He appears to have a problem dropping the high school football thing, though).
At least songs like She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy, Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy and even Red Solo Cup are in on the joke. The very earnest songs about small towns and country roads are the ones that drive me crazy.
Classic country and western is great.
It’s terrible, but I would absolutely hate fuck almost every male country singer. They often good looking in a generic, country boy way, seem kind of dumb, and are absolutely less likely to kill me than authentic cowboy.
Counter-point: Country music is fucking awesome and this shit ain’t country.
I don’t know what vexes me more...the gender politics of these songs, or the way their singers assume this phony working class guise singing about pickup trucks and Georgia mud when you know they all split time between their gated McMansions in Nashville, and their penthouses in LA. They’re the music industry’s…
Country music got way too rapey for me a few years ago. It’s all about getting a girl drunk and driving her out in the middle of nowhere for sex an hour after meeting. “Girl in a Country Song” points this trend out in an amusing way and the video is hilarious.
