Similar. I didn’t really start paying attention to politics until Dubya’s first term because, as a white man who was raised in a middle-class white suburban househ0ld, I had the luxury of not having to care about politics.

I know normally people become more conservative with age, but I feel like my peers (I'm on the oldest edge of millenials) are getting more radical with age. Maybe some combo of Trump and crushing medical bills?

“And for those who are defending her on the basis of her youth, some of us were at our apex of passionate political idealism at 22 or 18 or even 16. People tend to become more conservative with age not the reverse.”

The thing is, will she go back to voting Republican when 45 is out of office? Because if there were a less bombastic, corrupt, ‘quiet part aloud’ candidate, it would be a harder battle for Biden.

Not just that. Fiscal conservatism means being anti-welfare, anti-regulation, pro-bootstraps and a hundred other social ills. I have no respect for people who say they’re socially liberal and fiscally conservative. They’re saying ‘Oh, it’s totally cool that you’re gay! Go you! I don’t care that you can’t afford nutriti…

Jennifer Lawrence was also 18 years old from a conservative family in a hard red conservative state.

I’m a 44 years old liberal, but my political awareness at 18, raised in a catholic conservative region was quite limited and I’d like to think my understanding of the world has considerably improved since then.

Yes; excuse me. The blind spot must be mine.

I understand your point, and I am starring you and Adobe Diva for being civil which I can scarcely maintain as this subject intensively triggers me. People at which age? She is a thirty-year old married woman whose reckoning has come only because we have a president who says the quiet part out loud?

Why?

I love it when white people say or say the equivalent of, “socially I’m liberal but fiscally, I’m republican.” If your money is worth supporting racists, climate change deniers and people who police women’s bodies amongst other things; then you’re views on social issues were very in line with theirs. But hooray,…

So?

It was an interview on a podcast not a press release.

Although, even then, the decent thing is to not say any of those things if the decision has already been made (kid is about to be born, you’ve closed on the house, the car is in the driveway).  

Right? This is beyond bizarre behavior for a workplace. The only time I’ve ever heard “maybe you shouldn’t have a kid” at the workplace is during a really bad downturn, and it’s the same sentiment as “maybe you shouldn’t buy that house” or “maybe you shouldn’t buy that car,” aka don’t spend any big money cause all our…

Even so, if you actually examine the way the Constitution is set up, and the way Amendments function, the Constitution was designed to change from the very beginning! Think about the Electoral College, there is not a single statement in the Constitution that cements the Electoral College as the only form of…

The real problem with that line of thinking is that it flies in the face of what the founders actually wanted the constitution to be. Thomas Jefferson, in his papers to James Madison, wanted the constitution to be re-evaluated every 19 years. He believed that every generation should have the ability to mold their…

Right? The supporting allegations of his coworkers seems almost cartoonish. I’ve met and known plenty of people who don’t want children and don’t see a need to procreate, but I’ve never come across a workplace where an employee who is expecting a child would be routinely mocked by multiple other employees. 

Perhaps you should move somewhere without a Constitution and see first hand why the US is setup the way it is.

Except that’s not at all a judge’s responsibility. A judge is an umpire. Their job is to call balls and strikes, not make managerial decisions for one or both teams.

Even if that’s not why he was fired, that sounds a bizarely anti-child workplace. I’ve worked with adamantly childfree and chatty child-having people, and even if they bitched behind each other’s backs about their different choices, they were always decent humans to their face.  What the hell are these comments?  What…
