Wife was asking me 'why do people want to take down historical statues?'. I explained to her what they represent and how they are being used as focal points for really lovely people. Then I asked her 'ok where are the Chiang Kai Shek statues in China?'. Oh! In Taiwan! Ok well that is not China is it?

YOU CRAZY TAIWAN IS PART OF CHINA!

part of what I've read up on bannon is he realized that there was an untapped market of people in lovely lives who stay home and probably play video games all day that are not well educated and maybe a bit racist

/pol/ was at first ironic but like all things irony based it attracted the non ironic people

irony is a poison

bannon was there to bring in this under class of people while kellyanne was there to bring in the rest of the gop base

it worked because once you are past the primaries it matters way less what kind of flavor of gop you are

if only we had heeded niggerstomper58's cautionary tale about the dangers of excessive irony

a friend of mine from China has been in the states for about two and a half years now to go to school. i actually asked him what he thinks about it and he said that most of the people in his part of china think taiwan is part of china, and it's insulting to think otherwise. now that he has been here for over two years, he can see where there's a conversation to be had.

He needs more recognition, and as a Virginian who came from a slave owning family, the fact he was instrumental in defeating the Confederacy is a nice extra 'gently caress you're.

And as someone in Virginia, I've never seen his name on a school or government building.

Plenty of those for Lee and Nathan Bedford Forrest though. Including multiple towns. :banjo:
