I totally understand your viewpoint, but I think that for some people who fail to acknowledge the humanity of others the best strategy might be to help them change, rather than to dismiss them out of hand as being beyond redemption.

I doubt Donald Trump’s wall will get very far. But he doesn’t have to get the wall built to satisfy a lot of his base. As long as he is vocal about how much he wants Mexicans out of our country, and as long as he tells them how many people he is deporting, I believe they will support him.
Liberals miss this by being illiberal. They shame not just the racists and sexists who deserve it but all who disagree. A 64-year-old Southern woman not onboard with marriage equality finds herself characterized as a hateful boob.
I completely disagree. That description is classic quisling behavior. Supporting a racist bigot no matter what the “good intentions” doesn’t change the fact that they voted for a racist bigot. To be a “agent of destruction” means to destroy what is helping others that don’t look, or act like you do. To court them back…
If they haven’t figured out that those jobs aren’t coming back by now I don’t think they ever will. Most of the steel mills of Western PA shut down during the Reagan administration.
They’re married with wives! And have daughters! And mothers! How could they ever be misogynistic?
For all their bitching about first amendment rights they really don’t want women to speak. Wonder why...can’t be because they’re misogynistic. Cause several of them have told me they’re not. Hmm...hmm. Guess we’ll never know.
The first thing a dictator does is go after the media.
People said we needed Jon Stewart most during this election. I think we can all see now that it isn’t true. We desperately need him, now more than ever, to get through the next 4 years.
I WANNA KILL MYSELF BUT I ONLY LIVE ON THE THIRD FLOOR
I think it’s more like the US is that nanny from the The Omen screaming, “It’s all for you, Damien!” then jumping off the house with a noose around her neck.
So long as some women are willing to sell out their gender, you’ll always be second class citizens. Please don’t take this as an advocation, merely a statement of fact. Only a firm stance across all socioeconomic and generational levels will affect any real lasting change (e.g. Suffrage).
TBF Ed Gein was a serial killer who made suits out of the skin of his victims, but he was also capable of not doing that.
Kelly explained that she “avoided Roger for six months” on the advice of her supervisor, after he aggressively sexually harassed her in his office, trying three times to kiss her.“Sure enough, he stopped,” she said. “We went on to have a healthy working relationship.” Kelly added that “even I found hard to believe…
Fucking yup.
Here is your White Trump voter, America.
And just like that she reminds us all that she is definitely, without a doubt, 100% all about self-preservation and doesn’t really want to shake things up or make anyone uncomfortable at all. Thanks Megyn!
So, the debates were an anomaly and she’s still horrible. Got it.
How much you want to bet, all her downplaying of him threatening her and him knowing questions in advance, etc, now that the book has had early release of excerpts, is that she only put those anecdotes in the book because she didn’t expect him to win?
This doesn’t surprise me, she was always a mouthpiece for the Reich...er, I mean Right.
