Other than no loss of life, I'm rooting for zero damage at Cape Canaveral, and complete annihilation of Trump's resort.

Although he'd probably only just profit off that from tax fuckery, so I dunno here's just hoping it;s a storm that selectively targets racists

This was posted on my FB feed of a guy practicing "radical empathy" with a disaffected white Trump voter in Ohio. https://extranewsfeed.com/i-listened-to-a-trump-supporter-49a41a9a99de#.29amma1j0

I get that things today are so polarizing and it's impossible to change someone's mind by talking down to them and empathy is the only way to understand someone's point of view but I can't help but think that this approach changes nothing. Maybe you walk away feeling smugly superior for NOT shouting the person down and listening but really what do you do with this information?

I'm late, but was it David Hill, the game designer? I unfollowed him a while back because he was a NeverHillary person who seemed almost thrilled at the idea of her losing, even if it meant a Trump victory, despite being a leftist, and at one point praised someone coming into a thread about how Donald Trump basically destroyed her hometown to say Hillary's bad too as a "burn".

Or are there other dumbasses out there who claim to follow "radical empathy" while being some of the least-empathetic leftists imaginable?

I guess the big question is, how many steelworkers live in Ohio and would a shift of their support away from Trump even by just a few percentage points be enough to tilt even loving cracker-rear end Ohio toward Hillary?

15% of ohio's working population works in steel. add to that people with family members or friends who work in ohio and if the steel companies can get the 'gently caress trump' thing out quickly enough and yeah, he's gone.

Article from a member of Trump's African American outreach committee.

Hollywood�s First Black Superhero More of a Super-Thug
by Crystal Wright | 11:18 am, October 6th, 2016

Superheroes fight forces of evil. They possess fantastical powers, like the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound, and use invisible planes and truth lassoes. You know them by name from your childhood days: Wonder Woman, Cat Woman, Superman, Spiderman, Batman and the like. They wore capes, and represented the good citizen � not the criminal.

That is, until Netflix decided to collaborate with Marvel Televisions and ABC Studios to bring America its first black Super-thug, masquerading as a Superhero. You really couldn�t make this stuff up if you tried. Netflix�s show Luke Cage is about a prison escapee, hoodie-wearing, black man armed with superpowers.

Mr. Cage fights for �social justice� in Harlem; because of course, all black people live in Harlem (eye-roll). According to a Newsbusters� article about the 13-episode series, there�s a scene in the first episode where someone passes out a flyer that reads: �Stay Harlem. Stay Black.� It also includes a Black Lives Matter moment, just to further politicize the show.

�Obviously, there�s this Trayvon Martin thing that happened. I think everyone was shaken to the core in America who basically understood there was a black teen in his neighborhood, who was basically killed for wearing a hoodie. And it�s like this guy thought he was a threat,� asserted Mike Colter, the actor playing Cage, in an interview with Chelsea Handler.

Yeah we know. But why let facts get in the way. Martin wasn�t in �his neighborhood;� but rather, in his father�s girlfriend�s condominium complex in Sanford, Florida. The complex had experienced previous break-ins. The night Martin was shot to death by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, witnesses and Zimmerman testified that they saw a male dressed in a hoodie, peering into windows.

�All people who wear hoodies are not criminals . . .It�s a symbolic thing,� Colter said of having Cage wear a hoodie. A hoodie is symbolic all right; it�s the fashion of choice for criminals (and now black superheroes), who use them to hide their face from being identified by witnesses, police or surveillance cameras when committing a crime.

Making Marvel�s first black superhero into even more of a stereotype, Luke Cage�s skin became so �hardened� from doing time in the pen, where there�s mass incarceration of black men, that his skin is impenetrable by bullets (which do go through his clothing).

Wonder Woman had bulletproof bling; Luke Cage has bulletproof black skin. Ah, but this is also a metaphor for the isolated cases of unarmed young black males killed by police officers. I wonder if hooded crusader Luke Cage will serve and protect blacks in Harlem harmed by other blacks?

In his interview with Handler, Colter added that he and the show�s creator wanted to �make some statements and �shake it up a little bit.� We shall see about that, but rest assured that the show is replete with clich�s and political commentary.

Not missing a beat to perpetuate Democrats� black lies, Carl Lucas, the black Super-thug�s real name, escaped from a privately run prison in Georgia called Seagate. And this is because everyone knows that private prisons are to blame for �the mass incarceration of blacks� � not black males themselves, who are disproportionately engaging in crime, being convicted by juries and then sentenced by judges.

As the law of unintended consequences would have it, the birth of Luke Cage demonstrates Hollywood�s racist perception of blacks. In the liberal-dominated TV and film industry, blacks are cast as gangsters, criminals, slaves, prostitutes and now prison fugitive super heroes. Netflixs had an opportunity to give America a true black superhero whom black kids and all kids could look up to and admire. (Heck, maybe they were just tipping their hat to Hillary, who once famously referred to criminal black youths as super-predators.)

Instead Netflix delivered a champion of deviancy, who will encourage black kids to believe they can pick fights, confront police and have a hoodie protect them. How cool is that? Way to add to the black body count Netflix. Way to go!
