That movie writes itself!

Our future children's textbooks will be way hotter than our generation

"Tell me Reince, why do you think 85% of Americans read your name as Prince Reibus?"

But they're such snappy dressers!
The alt-right attempt to look hip infuriates me. It reminds of some of the hipster megachurch pastors

My wife's cousin went to high school with him in Santa Monica and he described him as a sociopath. Funny to think that the weird kid he went to high school with is now in the White House

I wouldn't say turning exactly, but they did defend Sessions. Tucker Carlson did something similar but they both also make the excuse that Trump is cornered like a scared animal and lashed out at him

I thought there was a lot of great, peaceful discussions on here actually. It even got me to log into Discus for the first time in months. I do, however, enjoy reading Breitbart comment threads so maybe my viewpoint is skewed.

I don't think it's advocating for issues that they have a problem with. It's groupthink and blindly getting caught up in a whirlwind of outrage that they're satirizing.
And look, Trey cares about kittens!

Pretty sure it's obnoxious to use the same sentence structure as the previous post, then deliver a smug generalization of a person you've never met.

Absolutely agree. I used to be a high school teacher and I remember being excited to teach a satire lesson, where I showed them Onion articles, Daily Shows, the obligatory Swift, etc. It bombed terribly because the student (seniors) didn't get it at all and thought it was all serious.
And let's not get into the time I…

I would think a genuine libertarian would be fine with trans people but have problems with government dictating where they can and can't go

yes! That line-in-the-sand tribalism bullshit is what South Park consistently parodied. It wasn't an issue of liberal vs. conservative, but rather taking the piss out of people who are unable to think with any nuance

I feel their main gripe was with groupthink in general, whatever form that takes. That's why Randy is the greatest character of all time because he took every BS trend and went to 11 with it. Trey and Matt don't really have a responsibility to supply solutions. I mean, our politicians don't even do that

That's what I never understood. I get that Hillary is a member of the political elite but how is a billionaire New York real estate mogul any less of an elite? It's like trading cancer for AIDS

but that would mean trying to strengthen the institution rather than tearing it down, which appears to be the goal of the alt-right

well said, and I would add that there appears to be a general distrust in most institutions of late. Looks at people's attitudes towards doctors, journalists and scientists and you see a similar dynamic. It also partly accounts for the appeal of megachurch pastors, who are known to rail against religious institutions…

He's been pretty level-headed through this whole thread. Just because you (and I) disagree with him doesn't make him a troll. Name calling isn't the best way to convince someone of your argument

In Arizona, where I'm at, they raised the minimum wage to 10 an hour this year. In the first 3 months, the only industries that have grown (at least in Tucson) are restaurants and bars, which kind of surprised everybody. There's definitely the too early to tell thing going on but I guess it shows that it's not a black…

A gentle breeze would knock over that straw man
Who is working their whole lives at minimum wage? Even McDonalds and Walmart workers get raises, however small. There was a Pew report that found only 4.3% of employees make the minimum wage in the US. It seems doubtful that small of a portion would really distort the…

"and our surging population which no one wants to address"
Think you're confusing increasing WORLD population rather than US population. Our population growth is the slowest it's been since the 30s. We're actually heading towards a disaster because of the slow growth due to the size of the elderly population versus the…
