Chilichimp posted:that's actually true. Anything left of the right wing is left wing... even moderate right wingers. The way things are going, pretty soon breathing the wrong way will be considered leftist here. The right wingers are getting increasingly determined to prove their purity by dubbing anything heretical that Fox New isn't conservative enough.

Yeah, I assume she got poked in the eye, it hurt like hell, and she's got a really grating cry/reaction. I assume the people who post it want us to believe she was just throwing a tantrum because her balloon popped because all liberals are pathetic children.Rhjamiz posted:Left Wing Media mocks the insane fringe, apparently. That's the difference between the fringe left and fringe right. The left has plenty of 9/11 Truthers and anti-vaccine people and apparently anti-mind control leaders. But by and large the left calls them crazy and isolates them. The right embraces its crazy and defends them because they just see "allies." That Red State writer a couple of months put it perfectly when he admitted that for years he had ignored the crazies because he agreed with them on 80% of what they believed and that seemed like enough, but the other 20% was insane and racist and really shouldn't have been ignored. Because now we have Trump.

Because the Right is incapable of believing not everyone acts like they do, they assume the Left embraces its fringe like they do. So they find the nuttiest Tumblr post and act like it was said by Obama, because they're coming from the same place right?

It's easy to see why they let this happen to themselves. Right wingers have courted extremists for decades in the US. They saw a convenient voting block and threw together a disparate collection of various recessive factions for power. In doing so, they slowly drove off everyone else so they had to double down on their most repulsive platforms to keep the base that was united by hated of the other more than anything substantial. It worked out well enough (more accurately, the effects were easy enough to blame on others), but their dedication to opposing Obama at every turn after pushing for constant paranoia in the Bush years lead to them creating a monster they could no longer control the old way. One that was easily absorbed by the most belligerent bully in the playground. Formerly Cruz and friends, but now Trump. twistedmentat posted:Because the Right is incapable of believing not everyone acts like they do, they assume the Left embraces its fringe like they do.

Moreso than Rupert Murdoch's evil empire ever could. They legitimized the inane screeching of right wing paranoia and denounced anything else as equally bad for the left. So now people think that asking cops to stop shooting minorities is just as crazy as saying we must flay all cops alive or that blatant white supremacists are posting valid arguments. Hell, so much as mentioning global warming is real threat or that we could spend less on the military gets you treated as a "crazy leftist."

Seriously the gutless media is totally to blame for the rise of Trump and his "Make America Racist Again" movement but they really want to pretend that they had nothing to do with it. That's WHILE they have a guy on CNN that talks about how Paul Ryan is the real racist for criticism Trump and also saying that the KKK is a leftist organization and being treated as totally legitimate.

I'm not saying they covered him correctly or admirably, but it was a Republican primary. They had to cater to the people with Florida in their hearts, and had to lower their standards enough to be able to cover people like Ben Carson and Ted Cruz without laughing. Those dolts took Donald Trump seriously and so the papers have to as well, he's their candidate. Now it's almost time for the general, we have two presumptive nominees and a much wider electorate and LO AND BEHOLD what kind of week Trump has when "He's a mexican, it's an inherent conflict of interest, I'm building a wall" isn't received by the bulk of the readership as "Well I'm not a lawyer but that sounds correct to me".

Discendo Vox posted:Generally the problem has been that the concepts involved aren't well-defined, and students find ways to abuse the breadth of their potential application. On the campus I work at, policy-wise, things are petty much where they should be, but there is ongoing pressure from some student groups and some folks in different support services entities who would prefer to take it to the extremes depicted by conservatives. There are some campuses where these extremes are enacted, and it's apparently pretty hard to teach in those settings. This isn't because the prof can't say their preferred ethnic slurs, it's that the idea of it is easy to apply post hoc to things you don't want to hear/talk about/have your beliefs challenged on. Why are you so upset about a little used storage room or two being used so people can calm down?

Yeah, early on I was picking Cruz as a dark horse because he seemed to be openly courting all the crazies and fringe groups from the "gays should die" people to the sovereign citizens. Trump just managed to one up on multiple levels. The crazy conspiracy theories, the blatant bully persona, the genuine outsider status, and of course the nationalism/racism. Cruz and others had all been playing with those reigns for years if not decades but Trump just ran with it because he's the real deal.

Some reporters are getting up to speed. But there are still so many political reporters who are talking about downticket republicans trying to reconcile candidate Trump and rejecting outright racism, and the reporters appear to be confused rather than appearing to be cumming in their pants.

I've watched this happen with a mother who gave birth to a child with trisomy 13, simply because she was part of a religious family in which 100% there was never any grounds for abortion ever the baby was born alive, if only just, and lived in what only appeared to be constant misery, from one invasive surgical procedure to the next, for three years, and finally died of organ failure(s). /e - i suppose the important measure of the pro life community i took from the whole event is that once the baby was born, there was no real structure in place in her faith community to provide for the almost a million dollars of medical procedures this child needed just to limp on from one year to the next, in constant pain, significantly mentally impaired, probably deaf and mostly blind, and permanently incontinent and requiring a trach Kavros fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Jun 8, 2016 |

They love the idea of a baby because they can project whatever they want on it thanks to its "innocence." After its born, they can't do that anymore, so they lose interest. Same thing as their love for dead soldiers; they love that they have a symbol who can't prove them wrong about anything. Conservatives never really care about actual people, just ciphers they can use to justify their preexisting beliefs and biases. That and give them the opportunity to feel moral and have authority over other people without having to really do anything on their own.
