it doesn't help when you've got genuinely spiteful people like sam biddle and jeb lund that are prominent in certain corners online and get celebrated for their targets because of "punching up" bullshit. if people weren't automatically assholes to other people that don't agree on slight issues, the internet nazi movement wouldn't be so widespread

I honestly don't think the alt-right would be half as big as it is if it weren't for South Park singlehandedly making casual anti-semitism acceptable again.
even though cartman's anti-semitism is clearly a joke, it's been done so much as a plot point and misinterpreted by middle school idiots that it's hard not to hate the show for it

There. Someone finally figured out how to impersonate Trump properly. Seriously just use the clips from the debates, and him acting like an rear end in a top hat to reporters. It's not that hard.

Seriously. Dude's a comedic goldmine that would put Nixon, Clinton, and Bush II to shame. Have fun with him.

if trump actually pissing off russia vis-a-vis syria doesn't stop the democratic and media elite from playing up a nonexistent connection between the two, nothing will

ossoff is doing better than expected in that special election because the dems paid attention to it and didn't use the russia poo poo as much on the campaign. imagine if they did that for James Thompson or will actually do it for Jon Quist in Montana (probably not as they're both more populist)

the early favorite for NYC mayor in 2013 was Christine Quinn, who would have been the first woman and the first LGBT individual to get that position. the response among a large chunk of the LGBT community was, "we'd love to have one of us for mayor, just not her," because she enabled a lot of Mike Bloomberg's bullshit. she ended up not even placing top two

does the author get rachel dolezal-related news alerts to her phone all the time, or was that alert she got just a general news thing? maybe i need to "check my privilege" but i think that dolezal is a kook and a bit nuts, though not actively harmful. she strikes me as more of a curiosity of today's society than something that's actively malicious. but some people have long memories that makes them look obsessive

It feels like the country as a whole has rejected this type of crap as a whole. I mean the election kinda tells the story really. I've met african americans, lgbt and others who have said they can't stand this poo poo. No one actually "likes" "Girls", the amount of negative comments I've seen in regards to this tweet and other ancedotes I've noticed.

Like even "The Simpsons" took the piss out of these types of "woke" assholes in a recent episode. The. Simpsons. A show that in it's current interpretation is just one long preachy message from Lisa Simpson.
most people don't care about idpol bullshit, but the people who do wield a disproportionate amount of power and influence on politics and pop culture. the result is stuff like Problematic with Moshe Kasher and articles saying that Girls is a transcendent TV show (most people are indifferent about that show and Lena Dunham in general). it works the same way with the anti-Sanders people: only 3% of Dems think he's a negative for the party, but you've got a lot of kooks and wonks with blue checks after their names on Twitter who have a captive audience of politicos and pundits on CNN and MSNBC. popular opinion means nothing anymore, if it ever has

as for The Simpsons, if the GBS thread about recent episodes is correct, it has a lot more in common with the sort of poo poo that airs on CBS, so it's not surprising that this stuff rustles Al Jean's jimmies

even before this Omaha mayor debacle, there was some similar poo poo going on here in NYC over the next city council speaker. the guy gunning for the position is a guy who's personally pro-life and anti-marriage equality, but he doesn't let that run his politics, and he's also an economic populist. there was already some degree of backlash over those positions and his candidacy but i don't think there's a chance in hell that he wins out now
