“and she won’t support Roseanne Barr having free speech”

What the fuck.

I mean, really. What the fuck?

“I’ll be happy to see the have other jobs, but fuck the Roseanne legacy.”

I can absolutely get behind that sentiment.

I still think it would be hilarious to carry on the show with the same name but just have all of the characters act as though Roseanne never existed.

“And if that means we have to live with the threat of a tyrannical government using its military might to crush our strong, flourishing democracy, then so be it (but really, not).”

That has always been a ridiculous fantasy. If the U.S. military is actually willingly enforcing a tyrannical regime, then it’s already…

They did that, though! It’s called the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Tax cuts fix everything. We could have flying cars and a cure to cancer by now if liberals would just stop interfering with the invisible hand of the market.

Or attend a Trump rally. That’s the next best thing.

So is everyone else.

Because, Paul, this guy is better than you. He is better than all of us. And he wants us all to know it.

If only Kinja made it possible, everyone else should delete their replies to this comment and leave just this one. It’s all anyone needs to say to this shit.

No it won’t.

“he’s still been marginally better than all of these bad-faith asshole types.”

Nope. Fuck him. And stop minimizing his bullshit. Call out the bad faith of others, but just stop with this.

I agree with most of that. However, I think he let it linger because he’s an asshole who enjoyed acting like a victim when he was accusing people who were offended of being the “real bigots.”

Therefore, every outlet is equally biased, and all bias is the same. Right?

You’re setting an unattainable standard, then equally faulting everything which fails to meet it.

And if that’s not what you’re trying to do, then your post is just insipid. Everyone knows everyone is biased to a degree, and you’re adding…

Then he pulled the “this proves YOU’RE the real bigots” bullshit. So fuck him.

Dan also had a few moments, including treating his black friend as a token, trying to get him to assure him that he couldn’t be racist. I think that was the same episode, in fact—the one in which DJ refuses to kiss his scene partner in a school play when he finds out she’s black. Dan and Roseanne both struggled with…

I’d say this was the appropriate pace of escalation. For once.

Poe’s law in effect.

Personally, I think it’s a real post.

Lynching?

Holy motherfucking God.

The winds have shifted, though. Now she’s relatable because she’s angry and white.

I gave her credit because her show was actually fairly progressive (or whatever term applies when you hold progressive views but are actually intensely suspicious of any government which could conceivably implement those views). I mean, the villains in the show weren’t Mexican immigrants; they were the wealthy and the…

“Instead, they decided to do a thing that is forcing people to react.”
