My parents (70s) went significantly to the left. They loathe Trump and his bullshit. What I’ve seen is peers (40-50s) who have fallen for this stuff. A work colleague recently tried to convince me that his college-attending daughter was learning “dangerous” things at school. I told him she was learning the truth.

Though I concur with this article, I would like to point out that it is not just men. Most of the political writing on gizmodo media or whatever this is now completely ignore the existence of conservative women. There are just as many of them and their vote counts just the same and no matter what people say, they…

Fox was a wildly successful effort to put talk radio on TV. It had been working great for them and they figured why not put this in America’s living rooms. It worked and made a lot of truly terrible people fabulously wealthy.

Nah. AM Radio has nowhere near the reach that Fox News does. I’ll grant you that talk radio bullshit filters down to Fox News and gets disseminated in a SLIGHTLY less ridiculous form, but in terms of sheer numbers of people who consume it, radio can’t possibly be the culprit.

I think this is pretty spot-on and is something I’ve been saying to folks for years now. It really hit home to me in the closing weeks of the 2012 election during the peak of the “unskew the polls” phenomenon. The rubes were eating this shit up as usual, but then it became obvious that plenty of actual power players…

Police and courts are generally obligated to refer to individuals by their legal names - my suspicion is that Clark likely has not done the name change process, so that is why that is done. I don’t think I’d call that deadnaming as much as I’d call it “complying with the law.”

Re:

His manner is one that tries to intellectualize conservatism and his smugness creates confidence in conservatives that their views are superior. He does all the same cherry-picking of facts as the rest of the conservative punditry, but he’s able to pull off a more professorial delivery that authoritarian conservatives…

I didn’t hear a word he said, I was looking at the police record where Bill O’Reilly choked his ex-wife in front of his teenage children. Why is a wife beater who lost legal access to his children allowed to BE on TV anyway

That and they hate government. Their whole lives, it’s just been like, government is bad because taxes pay for it, and I hate paying taxes. So clearly we should not have government.

This admin never wanted to “govern.” They just wanted to spout hot air and now that they have the keys, they are flipping their shit because they want to continue to spout hot air and now they are going to be held accountable for the hot air.

I don’t owe Conway jack shit. She chose who she wanted to become and who she is working for.

Its too bad Chanel did a similar bag in 1990

The polls weren’t that off, but the combination of Crosscheck/voter suppression, 3rd party voting (thanks assholes), and districts where they literally refused to count the vote because the voting boxes were “damaged” did the trick. It was only 80,000 votes.

The fact that the media was pretty much completely silent on Russian involvement with 45's campaign while tearing down Hillary over emails made my blood pressure shoot through the roof. I was angry about this last summer, but now that the media is finally looking under the hood? I’m fucking furious. Where in the hell…

It’s looking more and more like everything in that Russian dossier was 100% true. Especially since the source of it was murdered by Putin.

First there was Rand Paul saying that it was unnecessary to have Republicans investigating Republicans. Then Dan Rather very thoroughly laid out the issues and why the American public was entitled to a complete and independent investigation which led to Mitch The Turtle McConnell saying that any investigation could be…

It makes no sense for Republicans to investigate Republicans.

Shocked! I’m shocked, I tell ya!

Did anyone else have to remind themselves today that it hasn’t even been a month of a Trump presidency? We’ve had the saddest circus act ever going strong for LESS than thirty days! There is no way he makes four years, right?
