No, because I purposely ignored the thread for the better part of a day to avoid the covoking. Then I checked back in this afternoon to find the thread closed and imagined the worst.

Except that I hung around long enough to decide I like that made up word.

It wasn't that bad, just a couple of the usual suspects. More people in here were freaking out that the Time's Square car crash would be Trump's Reichstag Fire.

So is Trump praising the Filipino President more or less hosed up than when Reagan gave the Contras a tongue bath?

More hosed up because the Contras weren't actually the leaders of Nicaragua at the time. He literally told Duterte, the Philippines' sitting president, "doin a great job with those state sanctioned murders, buddy"

Yeah but Nun raping/murder was a special kind of hosed up.

Politically speaking, areas in the Eastern half of the country tended to move towards Trump together.

This map compares Trump's vote percentage against Romney's. (Not their margin, which was effected by voters going to third parties and the like)

Lots of "conservative" areas in the West had a net loss for Trump, while many "liberal" areas in the East showed a net movement towards Trump. So Wyoming moved away from Trump while Rhode Island moved towards him.

I think that there is a commonality in culture between Rhode Island and Wisconsin, marked by those areas being parochial and resistant to change, that is prime territory for Trump to convert people there. Westerners in conservative areas went against the tide because they could perceive Trump as a coddled product of an East Coast culture that is afraid of change.

Because the sexual assault tape did loving matter, it was just cancelled out by a whole bunch of bullshit in the month afterwards.

If the sexual assault tape came out the day before the election Trump would have lost by 10 points.

OK fair but he was talking about the 1960s and 70s... I keep coming back to that in the 80s, Jeff Sessions was too racist to get confirmed to a judgeship by a larger republican senate majority than today.

Yeah the awesome 80s when the Federal Government knowingly allowed crack cocaine to decimate inner city black communities and purposely ignored the AIDS epidemic so as to allow it to function as a plague for gay people. Meanwhile we were propping up and arming genocidal dictators in Latin America and the Mid-East directly leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in a dozen undeclared proxy wars against another nuclear power.

The 80s were hosed even if it had the veneer of respectability.

Going back to the 60s and 70s is is scary to read about how many awful things the government did to squash dissent among the free press and the general population at large during the Vietnam War. That is an example of an administration competently waging war against its own citizens with the FBI.

Oh and meanwhile Nixon just started carpet bombing Cambodia whoops.

People forget but prior to World War II the American Nazi Party was large enough that they held sold out rallies in Madison Square Garden.

It's nothing new. And again another example that things in the past were more hosed up then they are now.

That's not true at all, we were in an undeclared sea war with Nazi Germany for about 6 months before Pearl Harbor. Not to mention 2 years of Lend Lease. We were going to go to war with Germany no matter what, it just happened quicker because Hitler decided to declare war first in the days after Pearl Harbor.
