Why do the McCoys dislike Trump? I can think of few artists posted on here (e.g. Garrison, Lester, Branco) who better embody the spirit of Trump.
Glenn has a low, animal cunning so he's able to see that Trump is widely disrespected and hated, he's trying to leverage the lowest of low hanging fruit into a wider audience and the ability to label himself unbiased (or, as shitheads say, "an equal opportunity offender")

Trump tweeted that Mika Brzezinski bled badly from a facelift. Mika mocked Trump’s small hands. And said it was only a chin tuck.

Morning Joe spent the better part of his show defending the honor of his feminist fiance. Mika said Trump picks on women. Joe’s coat holder, Donnie Duetche, offered to go mano a mano with the president in the schoolyard. Like in the old days.

In the old days Trump’s hero, Andrew Jackson, took it outside with his enemies. He fought duels, and killed people.

Democrats say Trump’s already working on that.

I don't like this one because it proposes that the POTUS and a talk show host are peers. Trump is punching down like hell every time he insults someone who is not another world leader.

I doubt his lawyers are going to say he committed treason because he was out of his mind but sometimes I wonder if that will be used to justify the perjury he would certainly do in a trial. I assume there is lots of precedent for how to deal with people who literally don't know the difference between truth and lies, but I don't know what it is.

I did American history at Uni where we learned things like the cause of the civil war, the cultural revolution, African-American relations in the US, the Vietnam war, the rise of Reagan... I can't think of anything I'd give a poo poo less about than knowing that Independence Day is celebrated on the date of the writing of the Declaration of Independence, not the vote. I've met many American historians and can't think of any who would give a gently caress about this either. What use is this information besides maybe winning points on Jeopardy?

There's education to teach facts and then education to teach how to find and connect facts together to discover why things in the world happen the way they do. I know lots of people like Tinsley have no conception of that second kind of education.

Are you really sure it's doing that? Kinda don't really see anything indicating it's about any SPECIFIC bout of insulting by Trump rather than just... literally everything Trump says.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems he rarely if ever insults people who could possibly actually hurt him. That's what it means to be a bully and its different than picking on your sibling.

I would argue that the President of the United States would still be punching down against quite a few world leaders, just not by as much. Nobody's ever going to argue that the POTUS and - as a random example - the President of Botswana have equal worldwide power, after all.

Edit: Though I think Botswana has a more honest dedication to the principles of democracy than the current American government, so there's that.

Theres education, then theres taming, then theres propaganda.

A leftist only want education to teach kids to think efficiently, to know facts and to become human beings (instead of animals). But a conservative need education to include propaganda, stuff like "our country is the best", "our religion is the only true one". In many countries there's even a "civilian courses" where these "facts" are teached.

So is real that conservatives want from education more than what leftist want.

It is not. And it's also a pretty common argument against feminism. Like today's women won the fight so they should just stop complaining about things like unequal pay and rape culture.

I actually majored in history at an American university and took multiple classes on American history and I assure you it doesn't come up because as you said it's a useless piece of trivia compared to the context of the document, the sentiment that created it, and how people reacted to it.

Causes? Effects? Context? Sounds like that liberal elitist education there. History is memorizing dates and names of Civil War battles.
