This is not “crying wolf.” I understand what you’re getting at in terms of relative harms, but thinking along these lines and then telling people they can only call out the worst possible offensive behavior is a problem.

These assholes are already entitled enough without having to make a “statement” to “hold Starbucks accountable” by being dicks to baristas. Why do conservatives, who apparently have some ongoing fascination with Starbucks, feel a need to band together to be rude to its employees periodically? It’s bizarre.

I’m a law student and read the supreme court case upholding the Japanese internment camps during my first year. It was taught as a shameful decision by a cowardly court, clearly out of step with the law. This was before Trump announced, well before he became a “serious” candidate. I can’t believe this is where we are…

Yep. Remember the reports from Kasich (I think) camp that when he sought a VP Trump was telling potential picks they would basically be filling the role of president?

Just speculating but I’d say he’s a bedwetter.

lol yeah. It’s totally histrionic for people to react to the election of a racist, misogynist demagogue with tears and sadness, but your reaction to their reaction is ... what, exactly?
