I dunno if the mastermind is Trump or Bannon, but at this point Godwin's Law is truly obsolete. As a Jewish guy with some knowledge of history, I've seen this all play out before.

Way more than that. Most have either been paid for their horrible opinions or let the mask slip and been openly racist though. Again, how did you get so many posts knowing so little? POG?

Lord literally never answers I straight question. He instead, deflects to other questions of his own like you said. It is incredibly transparent but unfortunately encouraged in chezland, home of the alt right.

How about you explain for us in your own words how Martin Luther King Jr achieved what he did by staying silent and not making a fuss or being at all partisan.

and where do you stand in all of this, lou?

His core message was actually one of unity, not division.

Go and listen to I have a Dream and he talked about equality, shared values, two people with colour of different skin sitting down to break bread. It was a message that anyone could get behind. And he was fighting genuine injustice, and systemic racism. He did it by making penetrating arguments built of very sound core principles, not by appealing to identity politics. I made a video about it.

There is a difference between mildly bad outrages and outrages that are of a debatable nature (or trivial, such as when Obama said 57 states). For example criticizing Trump over pressuring CEOs not to move their factories.

Yeah, we know this move, too. Your vote - which is so, so similar to our vote - is held tantalisingly to ransom. All we have to do to win it, is exactly everything you say, all the time, forever.

No. We'll manage without you. Final answer.

So you agree with MLK that we must break the law when necessary in an act of civil disobedience? And that laws created by an oppressive minority are not just laws at all?

He had more speeches than "I Have a Dream."

lol how many times per week do we get this same tired old concern-spiel from some new poster that claims to be liberal and tells everybody to just calm down and patiently wait 4 years with minimal resistance to the trump agenda

story checks out!

I already said I support abortion so I'm not saying that a man should have the right to force that. However, why does carrying the child mean she is more fit to raise it and get child support? Even in cases of adopted children, women are awarded custody in more cases than men after divorce which should be enough to show that its not the fact that they physically gave birth that makes them less likely to get custody.

Then what would be the way to fix the asymmetry on this side? We agree that allowing women to choose is acceptable even though it has a huge impact on both parties, but why not balance this in some way by allowing males a choice in the process as well (even if the choice cannot be whether to have an abortion, which I agree it should not be).

Salt Lake City confirmed unconcerned about the executive order.

This atmosphere just doesn't let itself to a sensible discussion in any way. There is too much blinkered partisanship, and in this mode people don't want to talk, they only want to fight or cheer each other on.

Sad times. I cannot post here when emotions are running this high and people are being unreasonable on this scale. If this is a microcosm for political discussion everywhere, I do despair slightly and worry genuinely about the prospect of a civil war.

You can discuss your opinions. It is so, so transparent that you are deciding to not back up your claims. Nothing more than a concern troll who is a coward when met with opposition and evidence against their opinions.

i'm actually looking forward to this

Im sure ppl will miss you

My Alma Mater

this is so weak, folding up like this when people scrutinize your opinions and request elaboration or rebuttal on certain points. good riddance then, i was looking forward to your list of ways we can reach across the aisle to "reach" trump supporters, because i've mostly given up on them. but alas, you have nothing, which surprises exactly nobody itt.

Even the President is entitled to free speech interestingly enough.

Ah yes, the "uppity negros should pipe down. They got their separate but equal lunch counters" defense.

One of my favorite of the concern trolling "I'm totally a liberal, honest, guys" apologetics.

I wonder where we lost our way, as a country.

Lord is so smart guys, saying we should aspire to the political discourse shown by Donald Trump. We should also aspire to the athleticism of Steve Bannon and the compassion of David Duke.

Well, if you live in the fantasy world where the Civil Rights Movement started and ended with I Have a Dream - - one great unifying speech was enough to convince those in power to just give it all up - - then the above is true.

You do not understand the premise of my post. The nature of the outrage can be different for different political persuasions.

Young people are only that way until they get jobs
And realize they're the ones paying for these clowns the libs want to bring into this country who sit on their ass and get payed for by us. Most people who are normal and not hippies or bohemians become more conservative after age 30-35
