I’m not sure that’s intentional, though. Seems a lot of young assholes have been emboldened and encouraged by trump’s rise, and are seeking out positions of power as a result. It’s sort of a chicken-or-egg scenario... How much of it is GOP strategy versus how much is simply and influx of young bastards into the party?

I’m not sure how you go from “It’s not just old white people” to “youth vote and people of colour are the reasons” as being the OP’s take.

Starred for Shelly.

You get it. It’s astonishing to me that at this point so many people still don’t see it. I keep saying that once you peel back all the layers of bullshit, there’s nothing there at the center of trump. All he is is bullshit. To one degree or another this is true of all narcissists. They deal in personas, exclusively.…

I’m surprised because the Intercept’s response to his allegations is so catty. I figured they’d love it here.

I half-suspect they kept Sanders around as long as they did because they knew on some deep subconscious level people were repulsed by her. You put all those lies through that personality in that face and you create maximum revulsion. It was all part of the trolling. They were basically daring liberals to criticize her…

Amphetamine psychosis. Just sayin...

I think I commented about this at the time, but the mismatch in reds really makes my eye twitch.

Megyn “Ju-on” Kelly.

I don’t know if they’re explicitly christian, but when I was growing up they were the sort of ultranationalistic that took for granted that america was christian. The kind that uncritically swallows that old school interpretation (“under God is in the pledge!” sort of thing).

I always give serious side-eye to anyone who unironically welcomes any republican to “the resistance”.

Thanks for the explanation. I guess part of why it’s so weird to me is that he’s so insufferable (and I loathe his voice).

It’s absolutely brilliant. But man is it a kick in the gut when Phil Hartman dies.

He’s the sort of crusty democrat who feels like he has to project an image about being “tough on crime”. It’s not the first time he’s jumped at the opportunity to flex on that - sticking his foot in his mouth in the process.

I did not know that any Latino group liked Morrisey. How weird...

“Professional bald-faced liar condemns man who lied to her.”

Exactly. “Small government” has always been a smokescreen while republicans further restrict our right to self-determination. Even if you look at it in terms of the actual size of the government, it’s fucking bullshit. Who created DHS? Who consistently bloats the military budget? “Small government” is just a way of…

That actually makes a lot of sense if we think about it in terms of neural plasticity. We find it much easier to learn new things when we’re younger, and this tapers off as we age. It’s not that we’re incapable of learning when we’re older, but rather that it takes a more concerted effort to do so. In general, humans…

People tend to become more conservative with age not the reverse.
