Counterpoint: Democratic support has eroded since 1968 because they purposely spurned left and anti-war activists in favor of urban professionals; the Democrats controlled Congress from the 50s through 1994, so deregulation is just as much their fault; Hillary was a bad candidate; and she could have held any position…

Thank you for this long-winded story that absolutely definitely happened. 

lol I didn’t know Bush Cheney and Rumsfeld invaded Libya

My guess is that 1) it’s easier to perpetrate the myth that Trump supporters are all rural, less-educated people and it’s uncomfortable for the reporters to realize they’re also the guy/woman who works in the cubicle right next you at the same office in the same northern big city, who makes just as much money as you,…

Im pleasantly surprised by this. I was married to an (ex) Mormon for 12 years and have spent a ton of time in SLC and Utah generally and i have found that Mormons are just as fucking republican as any other christian group they at least have a respect for science, empiricism, and history.

Politics Corner - Oh Little Town of Bethlehem edition. Bethlehem usually gets a big boost from Christmas tourism for some reason. Not this year. This year a Trump stole their Christmas.

No, they’re about “chivalry”, as well as Nazism.

Thank you. I’m sick and tired of defenders saying that the Royal family only uses private money today and doesn’t live off the public dime. (Anymore.)

TBF joining a family that once colonized so much of Asia & Africa and continues to live off those riches was always going to be a difficult affair.

That’s also a salient point. I’m just so done with these stories. It’s like they are not even trying to cover for themselves anymore.

Sooooo.

You have to be clinically out of your goddamn mind to trust a cop today. The culture of American policing is now everyones’ craziest Fox News-addicted uncle, times 10.

My personal favorite was:

They call the democratic party the big tent party, well we are all going to asphyxiate on the neo liberal farts of Schumer and Pelosi. Speaking of, I can’t stand Jezebel anymore, it is just an endless love fest for neo liberals and the whole ‘west wing’ culture that props it up and frankly, it is delusional and…
