Well, it wasn’t just the homophobia- itself proven by the whole “murder/ send to concentration camps” thing he did with gay men, despite tolerating some as long as they were useful during his rise to power. The white supremacy thing is a pretty huge chunk of it.

Is he good at lying, though? I mean, he certainly does it a lot, but he’s not exactly convincing, ever. You’d have to be dumber than the discard bin at the hammer factory to believe a word he ssys.

But we still get stuck in this black and white world of Empire vs. Rebellion, where we expect it to be obvious when Tyranny occurs, and all of us, the good, god fearing, white American patriots of this nation, will come together as one to defeat it. And even if you just look at current events, there’s no reason…

Seems similar to dumping a load of tea in Boston Harbor to me.

I’d love to see how those idiots actually dealt with 100% private toll roads. They probably fantasize that it would be cheaper... as if the owners of the roads wouldn’t squeeze every penny they could get from people.

I think what it is, is simply that a lot of Americans can’t comprehend that other places are better. They’ve had “America is the best” hammered so thoroughly that the possibility that it might not be is just lost on them. When they hear about the things other nations have, that the citizens of those nations take for…

It’s why I get confused those times I cross the border and get some hyper- suspicious US customs guy who’s been convinced that all non- US citizens will say and do anything to live in the US... why would I leave behind universal health care, paternity leave, and the many other things I have that Americans don’t? What…

Never understood the salt. Margaritas without salt are immeasurably superior to ones with a salted rim.

Once upon a time, papers would be papers, and could print an opposing view article right on the same page, thus shining a light on the questionable speech and point out why it’s questionable.

anyone can be a bitch. It hasn’t been gender- specific for decades.

The point is that removing the bad apples does work- if you actually do it. The problem is that there’s been a tendency to protect the bad ones, and even promote them. Thus the rot spreads. 

“Second world” also has a specific definition, and refers to communist nations.

Now now, the US is still first world, but with murder/ crime rates, infant mortality rate, income inequality, etc that’s all more closely comparable to third world nations than other first world nations, it’s easy to understand the confusion.

One bad apple only spoils the bunch if you don’t remove it fast enough.

or don’t bother to de-escalate

You’re wasting your time. They know that America invented the very concept of Freedom and by definition all other nations are less free.

Look, man Hitler loved dogs. How could anyone who loves dogs be a bad person?

With this current government, I wouldn’t be so sure about the “will never leave committee” part. Should never leave committee, yes. 

Given that Nazi’s are vocal advocates of violence of people not merely disagreeing with them, but looking different as well, I’d say they routinely voice what we call “fightin’ words”. Sorry, but someone thinking their skin colour makes them better, and that other races deserve death goes well beyond “difference of…

I read the phrasing as absolutely applicable to the police. Safe bet that’s not how the enforcement will work though.
