it turns out that free speech, by which i mean, the rich have the right to own all the mass media, it turns out that free speech, is bad

I think free speech is good BUT only when people actually know what free speech means(aka "the government can't arrest you for things you say", not "i can say whatever i want to anyone at all times")

I you can sit here during a sudden surge in white nationalism and a massive popular push to return to nineteenth century politics and still say "dems gonna swing the House in 2018" you're more, uh, 'optimistic' than I am I guess

Dems will probably capture the house, but that's a pyrrhic victory at best. Dems have to have a raving lunatic absolutely break the country to notch a win outside of blue strongholds, while republicans regularly swing back into power on the "whelp 8 years of one team, I'm bored lets try the other team" mentality. At the end of the day giving each state 2 senators was a loving terrible idea when you look at a US map. Politics going to national narratives over local connections and politics has murdered the dems ability to function in predominantly rural states. The whole structure of giving rural areas disproportionate representation is driving it all and short of a constitutional re-write we're going to see a continuation of this into the foreseeable future.

In 2020 Trump will be running for re-election against Hillary Clinton.

She won't be running though.

the best thing for the dems, long term, is to stay a minority party but one that is just enough to be able to put up filibusters and be annoying

"the republicans owned the entire government for four years and all you got were some funny trump tweets these people are loving incompetent donny" is the only way the moderate libs might get a bit of bite

This article is hilarous

At the Tuesday night meet-ups, dubbed “Flat Earth or Other Forbidden Topics,” believers invite fellow adherents to open discussions in which the like-minded confirm one another’s hunches and laugh at the folly of those still stuck in the Enlightenment.

“There’s so much evidence once you set aside your preprogrammed learning and begin to look at things objectively with a critical eye,” says Bob Knodel, a Denver resident and featured guest at a recent Tuesday meeting. “You learn soon that what we’re taught is mainly propaganda.”
