I hope they faced the White House as they did this, falling to their knees in contemplation and reverence. I also hope they washed up before doing so but not just to make the image complete but because I have this image in my head of Alt-righters being incredibly pastyfaced.

Google Butt posted:He basically said that I don't understand the economics of it, lol. See this is what I meant when I said healthcare was probably the most frustrating thing to teach. You can't just apply free market principles to it, and yet that is just going way too far for a lot of people because then that's socialism and socialism is bad. How many people think the Canadian system is "socialized medicine" simply because they have a publicly funded system? And of course in the U.S. medicare and medicaid are bound to have problems. You have the sickest populations combined into the same pool with way fewer healthy people to balance it out. Again this basic idea was like teaching that the sky is a different color.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:I really wish we could start pushing the message that "pushing islam back" is fighting a war that nonreligious people don't give a gently caress about and to quit dragging us into their stupid garbage, but it's gonna take way too long before the religious strain in america finally dies down, if ever. I'm fairly certain the other side doesn't see it as just a religious cock match though. So even if our fundies don't drag us in, being a Westerner/American makes you a target regardless of religious affiliation

The Atlantic recently posted an article about how the AHCA could lead to an economic recession by cutting thousands of jobs in the healthcare sector. How likely is it that a recession would occur? I consider the Atlantic a generally reliable source, but it just seems so insanely suicidal to me that the GOP would do this so I'm holding out some desperate hope.

Google Butt posted:Funny you mention this, I was having a debate on healthcare with a republican making $220k+ a year and it basically came down to how many thousands of additional preventable deaths he was okay with for cuts and when he would care about them. It always gives me a very special feeling when I read someone's serious reasoning for why I should report to a gas chamber.

Interesting tidbit from WaPo today. Ronald Reagan on healthcare to the Conservative League of Minneapolis in 1961: “As one conservative let me say any person in the United States who requires medical attention and cannot provide it for himself should have it provided for him.”

Donald Trump is actually a performance artist whose work seeks to call to attention the fundamental brokenness of American "democracy" and end-stage capitalism.

Pellisworth posted:Donald Trump is actually a performance artist whose work seeks to call to attention the fundamental brokenness of American "democracy" and end-stage capitalism. Sean Spicer alluded that when he's on-camera that his job is just "performance art". He was talking to Laura Ingraham on her radio show about it. Then blamed it on those "snarky" GOTCHA journalists! quote:Ingraham has been mentioned as a possible successor to Spicer, who is expected to take on a more senior, behind-the-scenes role. But Spicer in recent weeks has already been less than visible behind the podium and in front of the cameras than earlier in the Trump presidency, opting instead to hold more off-camera press gaggles and, in recent days, even forbidding audio broadcasts. Rather than a lack of transparency, Spicer argued that an absence of cameras actually leads to more informed discussions. http://www.newsweek.com/sean-spicer-trump-reporters-youtube-628104

Burt Buckle posted:Reagan also granted citizenship to a bunch of illegal immigrants. He would be laughed out of the Republican Party today. I'm too young to have actually experienced the Reagan presidency, but from what I understand it was much closer to Trump's presidency than any other administration. Reagan was a buffoon who was plagued with scandal, made terrible foreign and domestic policy, and marked a significant change in acceptable rhetoric in politics. This poo poo was 30 years ago now and that same rear end in a top hat that heralded a turn towards meanness, pettiness, and retardation is too nice, virtuous, and eloquent by Republican standards to even make a blip on the radar. I really hope the Trump Presidency marks the breaking point for this trend and we start moving back towards sanity.

"The KKK were created by Democrats!" to a bunch of people wearing Klan crosses. I also really like the "Free Speech ain't Hate Speech" sign, because their understanding of Free Speech is being able to say whatever they want, and the rest of us have to listen to it and accept it without criticism.

The Republicans somehow managed to successfully rewrite history with the disaster that was Reagan during is lifetime. Until I was 17-18 I was under the impression that Reagan was an effective president that had secured the American economy and had massive victories in foreign policy a la crushing the USSR, bringing down the wall, etc. I have no doubt they will attempt the same with Trump. Then the insanity of his administration will be whitewashed and normalized and American government becomes even bigger quagmire of bullshit, corruption, and crazy.

(White) people genuinely liked him and agreed with his Milton-Friedman economic message. He was a disaster but always seen as great.

Pretty much every election after roughly World War II has been won by the more charismatic candidate regardless of politics, it's the minimum and possibly only thing a leader needs to have to make it there.

Something like 50% of 15-year-olds report feeling both heterosexual and same-sex sexual desire and say that the best definition of them is neither straight or gay. They're also majority-not white. The future will not be like the past.
