  • During the Iraq War, Kurt Vonnegut was asked about the anti-war protests… His response was that, during Vietnam, he was part of anti-war protests firing on all cylinders and laser-focused and going to stop that war. He said it was ultimately about as effective as climbing to the top of a ladder and tossing a pie on the ground. This time will be no different.

    So I don’t know what you’re hoping to gain. The ‘Ima take my ball and go home’ approach didn’t work out so well in 2016. Threatening not to vote isn’t going to phase anyone in a country where more than half the population doesn’t vote anyway. Maybe instead of threats you should work with other people trying to help the people you want elected get elected.












  • No. American History X was pretty on the mark for the state of the US in 1999.

    Trump ‘telling it like it is’ and how he was going to make Mexico pay for the border wall were what brought all the racist scum out of the woodwork.

    Political correctness gets a lot of flak, but what it did was raise the bar. If you have to be careful to call one group of students ‘first years’ and not ‘freshmen’, then you know damn well calling different ethnic groups slurs is not acceptable. The PC movement drove the racists further into the closet, and then Trump was a big dinner bell to bring that shit back out again.
