The founding fathers are be rolling in their graves at what has become of “free speech.”

This is appropriate so often, it’s depressing.

Yes, well said. I feel the same way. However, I think that this quality is uncommon enough that Codename_SailorV’s comment also stands. In general, people do engage in a lot of confirmation bias.  

That is terrible, yet unsurprising.

YES. Also, facing real evil is haaard and can’t always be solved with guns. It’s much easier to walk into a restaurant full of obviously unarmed people and wave your gun at them. They play at being heroes, but they’re a bunch of cowards. Look how excitedly they talk about how they “have all the guns” compared to the…

*slow clap* T-that was beautiful! *wipes tear away*

I wished I could keep starring this.

They may have won, but they’re finding it too difficult to give up that sweet, sweet oppressed victim posturing. They gotta go be heroes now! ...by victimizing others.  

I feel exactly the same way. I just don’t know what to say right now and I never heard this before. It’s horrifying and disturbing, for starters. She must have felt so alone.

Why do you think that? Do you think the reactions here are too negative or something? I disagree, I think people are understanding just fine. I’ve seen nothing so far to suggest anyone misunderstood the headline. I believe the disgust and outrage is genuinely generated by what actually happened. I understood the…

It’s said that you should learn something new every day.   Today I learned that Dustin Hoffman is an asshole! I honestly had no idea.

I know all too well what it’s like to work in a toxic/depressing environment. Good luck!

Precisely this. They should be rejoicing in the (false) belief that Trump is going to advance their pet causes. Instead, they’re far more interested in gloating. These aren’t “fearful” people. I call bullshit.

Information has never been so readily available. Almost anyone could have educated themselves about the issues from reliable sources if they’d wanted to. The real heart of the matter is that Trump spoke to their interests. They don’t care what bad things he’s done nor said, as long as he gives them what they want.…

Absolutely! Especially when Trump and his impending administration have been as transparent as they’ve been. Before the election, Trump was quite obvious what he was all about. The Republican party hasn’t exactly been cool about their agenda either. This shouldn’t be a shocker to anyone.

That’s definitely a big worry for me: the “idiocracy.” With Trump’s hatred of free speech and accurate journalism, I’m terrified of what he will be able to legislate against both. I fear we are about to enter an entire country run on misinformation. By 2020, all except the willfully compassionate and relentlessly…

OMG, it was nice talking to you guys. *braces self*

Cooking dinner, particularly in good company, is one of life’s simple pleasures too. Money doesn’t buy you everything. He’s missing out. Sad!

Thank you. So many people have forgotten what an opinion actually is.

THIS. Thank you for this - I feel much the same way, but couldn’t articulate it.
