‘At least I’m not [name of despised group]’ has kept the powerful in place for centuries by preventing the oppressed from making common cause with each other. 

Dealing with ignorant bullshit is part of free speech. I’ve read comments by butthurt Right-wingers who think ‘freedom speech’ means they can say stupid, disgusting, ignorant, xenophobic things and the rest of us can’t say anything in response. They’d LOVE an amendment that silences dissent.

The slave owners worried that counting only free whites left them with insufficient representation in Congress. Even though they needed the numbers, they didn’t want to admit that the humanity of their chattels. So slaves became three-fifths of ‘real’ humans for political purposes.

Anti-Semitic bullshit. 

Not everybody has an arsenal. Why would, say, deer hunters need more than one rifle each? “I change guns every season.” “So that’s why you have ten different brands of rifle on the wall.”

Slathered-on makeup is obvious, and the story doesn’t mention so much as lip balm let alone a cracking paint job.

And another proudly ignorant twatwaffle claims that people fight injustice solely for attention and freebies.

IF he has PTSD or any other diagnosed problem. He might be an angry, racist, asshole.

She ‘consented’ the way every woman in that situation ‘agrees’ to be raped.

Nobody said his face was covered with makeup or otherwise painted. It takes a lot of makeup or face paint to cover tattoos. A mask is easier and can be removed once clear of the bank. 

Even the elected prosecutors want high conviction rates. People mistakenly equate convictions with justice. It ain’t justice when the wrong people go to prison and the perpetrators continue their crimes.

False equivalence out the wazoo. Naturally. The fallback of bullies and general assholes.

He also believed the government has aliens in captivity, and her husband was an astronaut. Between the Right constantly putting crosshairs on people and that, he was primed and ready.

Whining because your boy got his ass beat for causing trouble?

Oh, for fuck’s sake: are we back to ‘reckless eyeballing’ as an offense?

Then, after being released, she had the gall to lecture them on their behavior during their fundraising.

You and I are in the 47% of white women who aren’t shooting ourselves in the feet.

Republicans think Democrats have it better because the Republican definition of free speech is ‘I can say whatever I want and you can’t respond.’ So, when they get called on it, they whine about how oppressed they are.

Not to mention that we don’t need any more old white men in office. Do we really want to spend 4 years (minimum) wondering if a slip of the tongue a momentary memory lapse is normal or signifies developing dementia?

Some people really are so short-sighted that they’d vote for a stupid, proudly ignorant, grifter who’ll run the nation into the ground if they knew he would let them have all the guns they could afford, or outlaw abortion, or decree the death penalty for LGBTQ people, or round up everybody darker than a manilla folder…
