I don’t think he will be. They know they aren’t convincing anyone who wasn’t convinced at the start. All they have to do is never admit it.

I was with you up until this point. Trump has literal Nazis supporting him and working in concert with him. Steve Bannon is a fascist. Treating fascists with respect will only end up with us being respectfully frog marched to “re-education” camps. You cannot fight literal Nazis with respectful dialogue. If civilized…

I agree totally. How the hell do you argue and convince someone who will listen to NOTHING and accept no evidence?
I had someone question trans people the other day, so I linked them to dozens of studies showing how trans brains work.
His response? That’s fringe science, psychologists think it’s a mental illness. …

Why aren’t these stories being linked to Jez? Everyone knows that is the defacto landing site.. I almost forget to check the Root.. Missing out on so much interesting reporting.

Craigslist Ad: Selling “Range” Rover. 63,000 miles on chasis, rolling chasis, comes with 15 spare engines. After doing my 52nd engine swap I’ve decided to sell my project. Comes with 13 spare engines, breaks good, new headlight fluid and comes with BMW’s blinker delete (saves 0.23 lbs).

I’ve consistently have gotten…

You need more stars.

This is my biggest question. The smug liberal elite thing is real, and I understand why people being consistently told they’re ‘wrong’ or that their ideas are outdated and sometimes offensive would make those people angry.

It’s absolutely terrifying. Zealotry usually is, but when it’s your own government overrun by zealots? Ugh.

“The entire political discourse has been pulled relentlessly to the right for many decades now”

One of the things which makes it so hard for me to have a conversation with my republican friends (the ranks of which are thinning rapidly) Screaming about leftists or socialists when we’re really talking about centrists.

Lets get this straight:

There are few black people and other people of color who didn’t know that there was a great deal of white people who held beliefs like this in America.
This isn’t news. It was well known that the police officer, checkout clerk, or doctor you seeing was internally calling you sub-human or a…

Well, it didn’t used to be like that. It was more like gamesmanship before. But yeah, Republicans stopped being tongue-in-cheek about their differences with Dems with the Tea Party nutbaggery and things just got... vicious. This is actually Obama’s pet cause post-presidency. He and Eric Holder will more than likely be…

Thank you for the giggle in a world of shit ;)

They do. It used to be a kind of known quantity that when the census came around whoever was in office would gerrymander the district. Tit for tat, republican or democrat. Just in recent years both populations have been concentrating in certain areas which has allowed for more extreme gerrymandering which then feeds…

thank you. i am sick to death of the tea party getting credit for social activism. they may be the most recent example since the obstructed President Obama for 8 years but even they used progressive tactics from 60s Civil Rights Movement to ACT UP in the 80s. I’m glad people are getting active but I wish they stop…

I’m certain there was no sort of brake-checking or other antagonism going on directly before this incident. No way.

I think a better punishment is making them work minimum wage jobs in retail/food service. It would be the most fitting “punishment” for these Fountainhead-worshipping, boot-strapping, exceptionalist fuckpigeons. More than prison, I want to force-feed them some crow.

A great and salient point! We’re liberating and re-appropriating our own strategy from the idiot usurpers.

Oh, poor fucking baby. Just NOW she is figuring out she’s been lying with pigs?
