My favorite theory is that Trump wants to be President because it's the only way he would ever be allowed on the ~Social Register~.

Has anyone seen Trump get asked the simple question: "Do you think the epidemic of sexual assaults in America and worldwide is an important issue affecting America?" I mean, we know how he's going to respond to questions about his own sexual assaults. I'd be fascinated to see him try to answer this one effectively in a debate.

I really am enjoying the fact that years from now the Trump name will be synonymous with almost bringing America to the brink of fascism. Oh, and also sexual harassment and dumbfuck buffoonery.

quote:A Nazi-themed Facebook group that called for the “execution” of Jews and African Americans has led to the expulsion of five Boulder, Colorado, high school students in an unusual case of “alt-right” hate speech spreading to teens in a liberal city. quote:The Facebook group, first reported by the local Daily Camera newspaper, was discovered after one of its leaders allegedly committed suicide, reportedly to “show his allegiance to the [Nazi] party and the killing of Jewish people”, a police report said. Officers were also investigating reports that a Boulder Prep high school student was being “threatened and harassed” by classmates. quote:At least one student attempted to play down the seriousness of the group, with an officer saying “he informed me that the whole thing was ‘funny’ and he would not actually ever do any of those things”, the report said.

"I think- So ISIS is very powerful, too powerful. And Clinton created it. I will stop them. Russia wants to kill them. We need to bring back nuclear power so we can make more bombs because Russia has way more, folks, believe me. Way more. Tremendous bombs. Clinton won't test new bombs due to radiation. Global warming is a hoax, and ISIS is using it to scare us."

Crow Jane posted:Something that Garrison Keillor, of all people, brought up in his Trump burn essay was that Donald really, really wants to be accepted into New York high society, which has a fairly sizable Jewish presence. He's likely green with envy that he, a rich white boy, has never quite made it, while those he sees as less pedigreed than him (I mean, c'mon, dude sleeps with Mein Kampf next to his bed) are heavily involved. He is a man who had a meltdown when the host of the UK spin off of the Apprentice and long term Trump antagonist Alan Surgar was first knighted and then made a lord. Oh course it really must have doubly hurt that Sugar is Jewish.

Endorph posted:i think the reason the alt. right has latched onto anti-semitism is because it's probably the least-taken seriously form of bigotry. like, it's the one form that even a bunch of the victims thought was basically over, at least in a serious way. So they latched onto it because when you make a jewish conspiracy 'joke,' people just think you're being edgy and aren't actually a monster. I wonder how much South Park could be blamed for the popularity of anti-semitism among the alt-right. While anti-semitism has been a thing forever, I feel like South Park sort of brought it back into the mainstream and primed some millenials (intentionally or not) to accept these sorts of messages. I say this as someone who enjoys the show.

Spatula City posted:It's a problem almost everywhere in the world. at least we're talking about it now here. Not to trivialize the problem, just, you know, I'm sick of America-bashing. I want to get to a place where I can look at my country clear-eyed, but still feel some measure of pride in it, and that doesn't happen if I compare the country to some fantasy future state where everything is the way I want it to be. What the gently caress are you talking about, you know you're in the US thread and we're talking about local American issues right now. Meredith Baxter-Burnout posted:Small towns especially have a big problem with shaming rape survivors and accusing them of lying. I've run across full grown men who are surprised by the concept that having sex with a really drunk girl is rape and automatically assume that every rape accuser is lying. Yeah as someone who can't stand big cities, I want to love small towns, but my experience in so many of them has been of running into the most vile, bigoted, sexist, rapey poo poo I've ever seen anywhere. It's weird, too, cuz you'll have one town where stuff is obviously bad news and then the next town over it's a whole different story. It's a uniquely sinking feeling though when you find yourself in some small town where half the kids have visible signs of abuse and PTSD and poo poo, ugh.

I feel like the jokey anti-semitism in South Park was something that half the audience got and was like "haha that's funny how hosed up that is" and the other half of the audience was like "haha yeah Jews sure are greedy and manipulative". The second half then went on to go meme on 4chan.

To "blame" South Park for anti-semitism among any population oversimplifies an incredibly complex and storied problem that is beyond any one television show. That having been said yeah some of its fans take it too seriously. But I would think of South Park as a symptom, not a cause.
