I never found that response to work very well. For many people, telling them you don’t want kids is like telling them you don’t want oxygen...they are unable to imagine someone not wanting something that, to them, everyone should want. As far as they are concerned, children are a basic necessity of life and saying you…

“Because I don’t want kids” seems to work as well. Just sayin’

In 1877, a Democrat (Samuel Tilden) won the popular vote for President, but four states refused to certify the results. Without enough votes to pass the threshold, the country was at a constitutional crisis, as the governors and the legislatures wanted to send different electors, as between the four, they had enough…

Former Trump supporters are welcome to join me, but I won’t move an inch to meet them in the middle.

I am really frightened and disgusted by people that say “it’s time to come together”, “let’s heal the nation” and other weak “both sides” nonsense. Trump’s large minority of fascist/republicans are willfully ignorant and are quite frankly, evil in their intent. They don’t care that innocent people are murdered in the…

It’s also, according to the Star Trek website, Einsenberg class. 

AHAHAHAHA Fuck lady you just cost your husband his job because you’re a racist piece of trash and your “medication” let your hate loose upon the world loudly instead of only in your thoughts. Did Kamala prosecute you for being a dildo without a license or something back when she was San Francisco’s DA? Who has this…

Nah, I’m the same. The only people from school I give a shit about I’m still in contact with anyway so the idea of a reunion is just weird.

We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. I’m just saying that we kind of tied ourselves up into knots trying to sympathize with the Bad People because we thought we needed their votes, and we really don’t — we need to avoid complacency, maximize our turnout, and accept that it is racism and tribalism rather than…

Yeah, rural PA born and raised here and this:

There certainly is a strain of willful ignorance and excessive pride that can become a generational trait in certain demographics.

It wasn’t until I read this review that I realized just how much of a relief it is that we no longer have to beat ourselves up trying to understand why white supremacists don’t vote the way we want them to!

“The evil, racist asshole beat himself.”

I don’t think any GMG website has ever claimed to be apolitical. Most of the writers are pretty upfront with their political viewpoints. And at the end of the day, almost all of the sites are focused on some aspect of culture, which is fundamentally inseparable from politics, as the two inevitably shape each other.

As you rightly note, Trump and his cronies naming this the Platinum Plan gives you all that you need to know about how serious this program ever was. It worked for what it was intended to do though with idiots like Ice Cube, 50 Cent, and whoever Lil Pump is jumping in line to dance for it.

LOL they wouldn’t even give stimulus checks in a pandemic to their own people but sure, they’re going to cut a big check to us because Cube got it done. Right... 

Cube gave a lot of shit to Eazy E going to that Republican fundraiser back in the day, and what he is doing now is even dumber. 

Oh... getting Cheato to agree to something is easy.. just stroke his ego.

And what fantasy world does he live in where Donald J. Trump is a man who keeps his word? He’s got terrible credit and lies constantly. Getting him to “agree” to something is not even the battle. Getting him to follow through is the point.

What fantasy world does he live in where he thinks a single Republican Senator is going to vote for money that benefits any minority group? Any impoverished group? They won't even help poor white people right now who lost their jobs!
