The Trump thread is just as groupthinky and occasionally as hysterical as anything in the D&D U.S. politics thread. It's not that the rest of CSPAM is full of hillarymen, it's that there was nowhere else to mock antifa & similar without being buried under a hundred variations on "bash the someone I disagree with Republican Fash!!"

Yep, exactly. Former gassed thread poster here, trying to manage how scared I am in the rest of C-SPAM.

I just literally had someone say not to respond to me because I'm a D&D troll (lol I rarely even post there), there's serious groupthink going on. Most of the noise in that thread is the same group of 12 people or so talking to each other.

There's a lot you can attack in football which is weird that anyone brings up rape culture. It's billionaires preying on the last vestiges of civic pride to get taxpayer funded investments. It's farm teams are unpaid students who spend their college careers engaging in a dangerous and incredibly time consuming sport that gets everyone money except them. The NFL keeps stripping fun little things out of the sport and maneuvering to make sure that only the rich and powerful can own teams rather than any sort of collective. The military pays the league to engage in hoo-rah isim, and every part of the sports experience is commodified and sold to advertisers.

Hmm, sounds like a class-based attack, you racsexist.

I mean, the hijab is a historical form of dress that some women go to great peril to wear in America. Not sure what your issue here is.

I'm guessing it's that the hijab is a symbol of oppression in many countries, where not wearing it can you have kidnapped or beaten. But really, who cares about the women being disappeared by morality police when we can virtue signal?

Agreed. You should be able to wear whatever you want, but trying to make the hijab into a symbol of feminism is a loving stretch.

It's always funny to me when people find out how many laborers in Southern California are legal Latinos and that they don't, in fact, appreciate what they consider a bunch of bumpkins comin' on up and working for peanuts. Probably because they're smart enough to realize that some well-employed/student white person telling them they're a self-loathing racist for not giving up their jobs would never do the same.

They're not rats for being in a union. They're rats because they relish getting people deported.

But the people whose livelihoods are being ruined by people who work for pennies on the dollar? I guess their meaningless families are just chaff in the wind, huh?

Are we seriously debating whether more workers drives down wages or not? And why is it always the laborers that need to bear the brunt of this, never the tut-tutting liberals hacking away at their keyboards while they're supposed to be tweeting dank memes?

Always question the motives of people whose ultimate goal is to ensure brown people are working in the fields or replacing roofs for a dollar a day. Notice how none of these neoliberal fucks, who LOVE hiring "help" at Home Depot and taking advantage of those sick low wages, ever advocates for closed borders and full amnesty - because that'd mean the Dickensian whelps they love throwing scraps to would have OSHA protection, labor law protection, etc.

Your fixation on Lena Dunham is kinda weird. Have I mentioned her once in this thread?

But since you asked, the problem with Lena Dunham is that she's rich as hell and represents everything that's wrong with Clintonite democrats. She also seems a bit attention starved, but otherwise nice.

Why would this even make Trump mad, he's paying a higher tax rate than Romney paid, right? The tax returns are also twelve years old, and to top it off, show absolutely nothing interesting.

Every passing day I'm convinced that the boy-who-cried-wolf effect will bite Dems very hard in the near future. Nothingburger tax returns, Russia and piss accusations with zero evidence, it's going to be extremely easy for the average uninformed Joe to just say "Dems are just as obstructionist as Reps were" very soon.

It may be happening, just that the biggest example of this (threats against Jewish community centers) weren't perpetrated by white supremacists. I know it's a Clintonite's dream that all Trump voters are secretly Richard Spencer and that Jews will be bashed to further the narrative of Evil Rural Whites, but luckily that's showing itself not to be true.
