It’s a tough one. You could argue both are exercising their freedom of expression. The government isn’t taking away her sign — her fellow citizen is defacing it in an act of counter-free-expression...

I like how they had to include a picture with an arrow pointing to it of “The Fonz” b/c only the Olds* who read the magazine and not their visiting grandkids would know who the hell that was anyway.

I fully agree except that this means we’re pretending Trump isn’t a dangerous demagogue with no respect for people of color, women, religious freedom, US allies, the real dangers of foreign influences on the republic, international law, the Constitution, Federal law, state laws, local statutes, ordinary manners, his…

Right now and then next year, probably in... March?

I believe this goes under the Dewey classification 001.9, better known as “White Nonsense”

Cue Tom Hanks-as-Chris-Wallace:

Awwwww, yeeeeeahhhhhh.

Yeah, no, we do not. If women “make” a man stupid, he was already stupid.

I was one of those fundy kids. can’t say as they were really influential on me in the way intended though they did echo the kind of stuff I was being taught. A lot of it — tracts and Sunday school— always hung me up — like the little girl not helping – which is why I’m not a fundy anymore! Or religious at all!

I feel like “social awkwardness” in the way it is currently deployed is an excuse commandeered by people who want cover for being creepy (see: Gamergaters, MRAs, stalkers, pedophiles...) — it is sooooo often paired with “nice guy” and so often turns out to be hiding a lot of shitty behavior.

My all-time favorite is the one about the poor little abused child who after a series of brutal events, finally ends up dying in the streets, but she gets her hands on a tract through random happenstance and also a little girl carrying a Bible hollers at her “JESUS loves you!” which was so much better than dragging…

One party prides itself on denigrating expertise that disagrees with its base’s fundamentalist beliefs (and expertise that just makes it feel like maybe the expert thinks it might not also be a super-expert in the exact same field as the expert even though it is SMRT, okay? ARE YOU CALLING ONE PARTY STUPID?!” *fight…

Oh, you’re that kind of dad.

Willful ignorance and stupidity are virtually indistinguishable — see W

WOMEN! ARE THE FOOTSOLDIERS! OF PATRIARCHY!

I honestly don’t know enough about Hitler at that level to assess his intelligence, but he did write and plan his own book, he attracted very competent like-minded people to him who carried out the plans he’d outlined, and he ran a horrifyingly efficient machine for several years successfully in a way Trump just never…

Hitler literally wrote a book outlining what he planned to do once he got into power and a lot of people just didn’t take him seriously, so the lesson from that is to take politicians who say horrible things at their word and not dismiss seemingly outrageous calls to deport an entire religion or commit war crimes…

Oh, honey...
