Are you reading what you post, or are you just messing with us at this point?
Hard to tell.
You mean you arent?
C/mon, comparing a single tweet of trumps about the Fine people at Charlottesville, conflating it with the UK's go home vans as some kind of retort to Critical Race Theory is so ludicrous it made me nearly spit my coffee out.
You missed that a good chunk of the right/conservatives don't want to stay put they want to regess. Just as there is a chunk on the left that take it all too far in how quickly they want to change things.
A good chunk is debatable, you have your Moggs of the world.. I see that, but I've never seen some universal criticism of actual regression outside normal political rhetoric.. I remember 2012-2014 sometime, under Cameron, Gay Marraige was made legal (over civil partnerships), they didn't regress.. I only bring that up, because we had a sudden flurry of wedding invites comes in as everyone wanted to take advantage of it, I think if they truly wanted to regress, we'd have some meaningful examples of this, but I stand to corrected.
You are going to need to back that up.
What like affirmative action? here's but one tiny example
https://www.scientificamerican.com/...rmative-action-and-against-scientific-racism/ "The Supreme Court could destroy affirmative action in higher education, and STEM professionals must stand against the white supremacy and scientific racism that fuels arguments against it" but take the entire CRT and other racially disciminating ideas and see what those that oppose it are labelled.
Trump is just one man? A 3rd of the population believes the election was stolen. They believe Dems run a child sex trafficking ring. They believe there is a "deep state". They want a Christian nationalist state. 90% of Republican Congressmen fully buy in to Trump's crap and would back him in anything he did. Now if that isn't a cult I don't know what is.
I know.. and every Dem 'knew' that the 2016 electrion was massively influenced by Russia (how many dems came out with stolen comments then). They also "knew" that Hunter Bidens laptop was also the work of foreign actors, US politics is completely borked.. Their voting system is so random and archaic, it leaves itself open to criticism, and to single out one side for CT whilst completely overlook the entire political spectrum which is awash with CT is bizarre.
Biden called Rittenhouse that after he posed with Proud Boys and they all threw the hand gesture that has been co-opted by the white power douche bags. How is he non white? He looks as white as Biden to me. If he is mixed race I'll stand corrected.
Biden was stupid for saying that though before any trial took place. He was going down to Trump's level and no one wants to be down there.
No, I actually agree Biden probably didn't even know what or why Rittenhouse was in that video, it was basic drive by political point scoring, I don't agree he specifically knew about the proud boys, I'd take it at face value, he just messed up. KR's ethnicity is a bit vague, but why would you change your position if mixed race, would it exonerate him of his proud boys association (which is vague at best), it really shouldn't.. he purports to be a BLM supporter, but that also shouldn't factor in..
BTW, I actually made that comparison because if you read the entire conversation with Trump about his 'fine people' comment, he clearly messed up, he didn't know much about the situation, he was against the act of attacking a statue, he thought he could score points with the patriotic aspect, he misjudged because the far right crowd alledgedly dominated, so despite him saying explcitly he wasn't talking about white supremecists and how they are criminals and should be locked up, it was too late.. the media pounced, the headline was set.. In the same way Biden was caught out over KR.. And Tony messed up, he comes across angry as if the fine people comment is absolute proof of Trumps support of the KKK, and then conflated the 'Go Home Vans' or randomly blurted that out, but that was a UK thing and about illegal immigration, not directly about racism.. In other words, his anger is based on a very tenuous argument.
It seems people are so unipolar, they are happy to take soundbites and media spun rhetoric to fuel themselves up to a lather and decided what they want to take out of context and what not too.. In this case I see two idiots, Biden and Trump, two corrrupt parties, the republicans and the democrats, and I can't ignore either sides awfulness.. Suppressing the hunter biden laptop was terrible, Trump claiming stolen elections is terrible.. Honestly, for all teh crap Trump does, how can you excuse Bidens approach as well? "While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken.".. immediately after the KR verdict.. He's almost telling people to be angry like he is.
But I don't feel particularly 'angry' at either party as such, I just agree and disagree with many aspects of each.. I don't align with one side, I don't think generalising MAGA as some form of dangerous group is helpful or true, we have MAGA voters in our US office, nice enough people, one is black, one is hispanic, neither seem violent or 'out there' they just seem to be proud of their country and seemingly like that aspect of MAGA.. but to some people (e.g. Tony) he'd assume they are gun toting racist idiots hell bent on genocide or something, when if you actually talk to them, you'd find they aren't both devout prolifers, nor even in favour of guns.. nor did they mention stolen votes, the only comment I've heard from them is how crap the voting systems are state to state and how it needs to be fixed for transparency and stop them being able to come under fire.
Just like I'm sure those tears were real in court. In the US though you can take a gun out on the street and shoot people of you feel threatened. So by their laws it wasn't murder.
