What's it like living in a world where you are required to negate everything about a person if they have any negative qualities? Surely this is the same mindset that required voting for Gary Johnson because Hillary voted for the Iraq War.

It doesn't have to, it will influence the vast majority of people who are not Milo's followers. It's not about changing the views of a bigoted minority, it's about making your case to the majority.

That only works as long as the people making those types of laws ban the "right" ones. When Germany was governed by the Nazis, they banned political speech from communists and pacifists among many others. So while I despise Nazis, I fear the long term consequences of that sort of precedent. For instance, with Trump…

No matter the race of the never-Trumpers, the Bernie Bros, or third party voters, they all got told the same thing: shut up and vote for ________ otherwise __________ will win and bring on the apocalypse.

I hate to break it to you, but all people get told that. It happened as it always does on both sides during this election. Conservative "never-Trumpers" were excoriated by Republicans who believed Clinton had to be defeated at any cost. The never-Trumpers rightly pointed out that Trump was dangerously inexperienced,…

Not trolling here but I'm pretty sure Bill and Hillary Clinton fit that definition to a T, and Obama probably does as well.

Seem like more of a non-sequitur but hey I'm glad that the threshold for using Nazis as a substitute for logic is lower than ever.

Ah yes the "he's Islamaphobic, therefore he's Islamiphobic" argument. Since you didn't point out what these supposed false talking points are, I'll say that he applies the same criticisms to Islam that he applies to every other religion. He is often perplexed, as am I why some people are so adamantly opposed to the…

Maher's personality can be fairly insufferable. But his biggest problem is being logically consistent with respect to religion. When he points out the hypocrisy, misogyny, and bigotry of the evangelical right in America he's cheered. When he points the exact same lens towards Islamic extremists, for some reason the…

Maher isn't an Islamaphobe.

The comedy market is pretty well saturated with Trump jokes right now. Some of the digs I've seen at South Park here from time to time come across more as a compulsive need for political conformity. A Trump analogue got raped to death on South Park and I still see people here slamming Matt and Trey for not being…

Looks like a good cast, and Bruckheimer's military stuff is usually solid.

It's interesting traveling to this alternate universe where people didn't watch all the episodes in 48 hours and are still wondering "what's going to happen". The political landscape is surprisingly unchanged however.
