So probably because they're racist as hell but want to appear hip and tolerant, IMO. Just the act of thinking I'm gonna run to some white Twitter liberal with my problems makes me sick

Hamilton is a hip hop musical that costs about $1200 per ticket. Apparently everybody's talking about it even though nobody outside of a small group of media and beltway elites has evee seen it

yeah, hamilton as a musical is... fine. if you're the kind of person who hates musicals it won't change your mind, but if you like sorta cheesy musicals you will enjoy it. that's why the 5867392 articles explaining why it's the Most Important And Revolutionary Thing Of Our Times come across as so performative and cringeworthy. cuz it's just... fine.

Sanders is Thrall, good ideas but he fucks up execution and then sort of just drops the ball. Hillary is Slyvanas Windrunner. Take that as you will.

I have never played warcraft so i wouldnt know. most of the GOP are just andrew ryan but religious(or know how to fake it) and no vision or balls. I guess i just don't get why trump/GOP are always compared to Voldemort. i assume its because he is popular and because he has the whole blood purity bullshit and the self harming narcissism and vanity. but other then that it feels like an autistic version of godwins law.

honestly don't know if either you or that tweet are serious, but I un-ironically agree he did the dumbest motherfucking thing, even by early 19th century standards:

- father to five children under 10 and an adult daughter who recently suffered a breakdown
- family finances precarious and dependent on his earnings
- oldest son died fighting pointless duel over honor, devastating family
- dueling considered by contemporaries to be semi-immoral practice of young hotbloods decades younger, banned throughout the state

well, better go fight this pointless duel with the Vice-President where i'm fully aware i might die, because honor!

On the other hand, consider that if dueling came back into style we would have more dead liberals

I thought duels weren't even usually to the death at that point and most people just aimed for trees behind them or something.

I think i'm more sympathetic to this stuff than most of c-spam, but my uninformed 2 cents:

- if you're in your mid-twenties or younger you likely came of political age when obama was president, the most visible political figures in the US were democrats, LGBTQ rights became mainstream, progress was being made etc etc
- so it seemed that social progress was on a continuously upward arc and things are just gonna keep getting better, especially if you're at least middle class, or not politically involved, or shielded from dissenting voices, or some combination
- and now the USA is gonna elect the first female president, who is cool and poised and dignified and knows memes, repudiating the loud, toxic bigotry of her opponent
- surprise it's President Trump!
- you don't have real-life experience in common with your peers that compares with a shock of this magnitude, so when you reach out to express how upset you are and seek comfort you use a familiar cultural touchstone instead

No idea why people who seem to be 40 or older are doing the same thing tho.
