In some instances, you are right. But when the discussion involves the rights and livelihoods of other people, I cannot get behind that way of thinking. That’s exactly what my friend used to say about gay marriage. He was all “well I disagree, I don’t think they should get married, whatever agree to disagree.” Except,…

I live in the Vast Cornfield. A couple of days ago, I had an interesting conversation with a 50-something white woman about Obama. She is 100% convinced that he is Muslim. Her evidence was that he couldn’t find a church to attend regularly in DC, and, “You know, all the stuff he did against the Christians and all…

Exactly. I don’t get why other people are having such a hard time seeing this. The people we’re dealing with don’t want to understand. They’re not interested in reason, facts, truth, or any of that good stuff. That’s precisely what willful ignorance is. Since the dawn of social media I’ve been dealing with that, and I…

Once upon a time I was the sort of person attempting to write term papers on a) the evils of communisim, using the Bible as a source, and 2)the evils of abortion, using all the bogus factoids about how psychologically harmful it is to women (neither went well, considering I went to public school). I was hardcore right…

THIS. I was thrown into a private FB group pre-election by a girl who wanted people who were willing to openly discuss sensitive topics (there was about 15 people). BLM came up and the subject pivoted into privilege...and then white privilege. The discussion/argument went on for a week. Eventually the group…

This is exactly how you get people at an alt-right conference saying that they’re not racist and that being called racist is mean. These days, “racism” means burning a cross on someone’s front lawn and calling people the N-word to their faces. If you are polite to the black employee at your grocery store or you always…

Did he make her look bad, though?

I don’t see the problem... it’s not like The Daily Show viewers will suddenly think “oh I like her... I was wrong all this time. Thanks “Tomi””

They think what they are told to think. They listen to Fox news and it’s ilk because it is a echo  chamber. No difference of opinions, only the same hatred that they feel for everyone, including themselves. There is no engaging them. They are brainwashed. Facts and truth mean nothing to them. I have been trying for…

That’s what a reasonable person sees happening here. Unfortunately, we aren’t dealing with reasonable. Wingnuts will eat this up and think she made a fool of Trevor somehow, and I worry that giving air time to this kind of bullshit the way they’d give air time to other more reasonable figures of whatever political…

No-you are right. He did skewer and expose her to all but the most dedicated Trump believers. He did it without being aggressive but it was very effective. I think a lot of the people who are criticizing here haven’t watched it. So much of the media, NPR included, has been inexcusably tolerant of these people and he…

Clearly, she should go fuck herslef, but as Trevor noted, she won. Her brand of hatred and anti-intellectual nonsense won. We can ignore it, or we can engage it. I think Trevor did a decent job of that in this interview.

Read the part of my comment where he inserts rape gifs and animal torture images if one of his comments is put in the black within the editing window. If he was just another conservative I wouldn’t give a fuck. He’s one of gawkers most virulent trolls, and after gawkers implosion he migrated here. Do your homework.

I think I do. I’ve definitely gotten him to change the way he views gay marriage. BLM is trickier, and it is a SLOOOOOOOOOOOOWW process. But so far, I’ve at least been able to get this dude to see things from a different perspective than his own.

I hate her too. I said it. Again. I will actually not stop saying it. She is the bitch in school who’s ass you just have to beat and be totally willing to take the suspension for it. You just take off your earrings and then your shoes and just go batshit ass hopping crazy on her and beat her until the teacher pulls…

Wait, wait, wait. The Daily Show has had figures from both sides of the table. She’s a crazy person, yes, but why are we upset by her appearing on a talk show that discusses politics from all “walks”.

I’m serious! The point of good discourse is to get people to see the world differently and to open their minds. That may sound corny, but that really is the point. Trevor Noah has a hell of a lot more patience than I do.

When asked whether or not she’s racist or what, she responded “I’ve never used racial slurs to address people.

That’s it ladies. I say we start the coalition to end the ungodliness of sperm wasting viagra. I mean, for what reason does an old man need an erection? His wife is too old to get pregnant. We know life begins at conception, but  when does conception occur? Is it when sperm meets egg, or is it when the sperm is formed…

What? It’s the purest form of capitalism - no middlemen, no bullshit. If people like what you do and want more of it, they’ll pay. If not, they won’t.
