To the person who fetchingly described narcissism, linked it to Trump's behavior, and predicted he'd call Hillary a oval office at the debates, this dead soldier stuff isn't too far off!

Was Clint talking to a reporter this time when he said things he used to do weren't called racist, or an empty chair again?

Samurai Sanders posted:The only lesson I'm getting from this election is that an ignorant blowhard rear end in a top hat virtuoso like Trump can still get like 30-40% of the country behind him. I'm never going to look at the average guy on the street in America the same way again. No, stop. He is getting, at most, 30-40% of the almost 50% who will bother to have an opinion and/or vote.

Paradoxish posted:You're setting yourself up for disappointment here. He's not going to get less than 40%. He's going to lose in a landslide, but that landslide is almost certainly going to still mean somewhere (slightly) north of 40% of the popular vote. The only way that doesn't happen is if the GOPe starts actively sabotaging him. Hey I know we're talking about two different things here: Population vs Population who votes, and the percentage of that. I just don't want this fellow thinking that literally 40% of Americans support Tramp when we just honestly don't know what half of them think about anything.

ComradeCosmobot posted:A specter is haunting the world: the specter of illiberal democracy. Yascha Mounk over at Slate has a long-form piece that paints a pretty dire picture of the future of left-wing governance around the world based on the awfulness that was July in world news. It reads like Glenn Beck drawing lines in chalk between pictures.

Shifty Pony posted:Just as an aside I think that a lot of people don't realize just how badly the upper-lower and lower-middle classes in the South have gotten hosed by modern logistics and mechanization. All those 300pop towns that exist throughout Texas will finally cease to be when the robots arrive and the loving ratchets up a few more notches. CDLs saved lots of people when the factories and mills closed.

This guy all but admits that the only difference between his ideal world and the one we live in is that in our world, people he personally dislikes are not his slaves. You don't meet many cosmopolitan libertarians for a reason.

theflyingorc posted:i don't know what that means Sometimes, your brain thinks of a really ripping comeback, but somewhere between ethereal thoughts and material reality, one must try to figure out how to word said comeback. Many of us spend minutes carefully constructing an expression of ideas, reading and re-reading to make sure we've used the best possible diction; some do not.

QuoProQuid posted:it has been suggested by some scholars that the recent resurgence of far-right populism is rooted in feelings of inadequacy and humiliation. There is a very very large group of quiet and powerful racists who have brains that work like this: "I'm not racist. Everyone has a fair and equal shot." <african american woman drives past in a car better than theirs> "loving BLACKS GETTING poo poo BEFORE I DO gently caress THIS TRUMP '16"

uninterrupted posted:Autonomous cars don't work anywhere except tightly controlled tests (i.e. the ones google has running in cali have every meticulously detailed maps of the areas they run and still get stumped by v basic traffic situations) and are about as ready for primetime as those Japanese robots that carry people out of fires and jack off hospital patients or w/e. What about all them trucks that convoyed through Europe for 2k miles the other month?
