God so much this. As someone raised by a Trump voting boomer, I feel like all I ever heard growing up was that we had to respect other peoples opinions, you’re not tolerant enough if you aren’t tolerating intolerance (once my father tried to compare gay people to spiders, because he doesn’t like gay people and I don’t…

I seriously don’t know how to fight something like this.

The zygote already accepted the lord Jesus Christ into its unformed heart, see, making it a Christian baby.

“If you’re so tolerant, why won’t you tolerate my intolerance?” said every bigot of the last twenty years.

War is peace

Californians, how the hell do you live with this?

I’m glad he takes comfort in painting the wounded soldiers who died during his meaningless wars. If he could think about all the brown people who suffered and still suffer, it could be great. Like, a Rothko chapel full of brown faces.

Given his ego, I think it’s a more powerful message to ignore the inauguration. If you protest the inauguration, it’s about him. If you march the day after, it’s about us.

Yup. I’m realizing that part of white privilege is that I let myself believe the fairy tale that overall, America isn’t that bad. Turns out, it is.

Do you really, truly believe that 80 million people in the U.S. are racist?

“Do you really, truly believe that 80 million people in the U.S. are racist?”

I think this entire concept of “You can’t say all Trump supporters are racist because [reasons]!” is fundamentally flawed. Yes, not all Trump are card-carrying white supremacists who made their choice purely because of race (though a scary number of them are). But choosing Trump despite his statements towards people…

I’m sure there are many different reasons why people voted for Donald Trump, and I’m also sure that Florida has more than 4.61 million racists.

If you hire a truly diverse staff of smart people you will have ideological diversity and you will come by it honestly. Seeking out ideological diversity specifically does not work out well. It’s why Bill Kristol has a career.

How does an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era help make the media better?
