A Russian expatriate, also said at Neo Neo that watching American 21st century politics is like watching Russian era with Trotsky, Stalin, and Lenin. Same class struggles, same politics, same explosions.<br /><br />During the time the Wehrmacht was active, many people flocked to the German nationalist banner, often times because they feared the communists. They were sort of working on each other, not for each other, but pushing people into opposing camps and factions, because you can't have a revolution without that.Ymar Sakarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-55845186816260926182016-11-22T23:33:13.105-05:002016-11-22T23:33:13.105-05:00There's a smug message on my Facebook feed fro...There's a smug message on my Facebook feed from a college friend, a list of "things we believe in this household," all completely unexceptional, like "no people are illegal." Is there any point in explaining to him that his political opponents don't think human beings can be illegal either, but we do think there is such a thing as illegal behavior, and we assume he agrees? He believes in science. I went to school with the guy; I have pretty specific information about which of us has the stronger scientific training. It's funny because none of those ten or so loudly proclaimed virtuous beliefs are at all uncommon, nor do they distinguish him from Trump supporters, though he obviously believes they do. And he's not even curious about what beliefs actually do separate him from Trump supporters. It's just "hate" that explains it all.<br /><br />Today my dental hygienist apologized for the conservative news show that "the previous patient had chosen." I signalled quickly that I didn't mind, and then he made it obvious that he had been the one to choose the program. Now, if the TV had been tuned to the MSM, and he had been a progressive, I doubt seriously he'd have bothered to check if I minded.Texan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/10479561573903660086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-12042244222945450052016-11-22T22:39:27.331-05:002016-11-22T22:39:27.331-05:00Yes, exactly.

I'm finding as they keep pushing on this stuff after the election and the reviews/autopsies indicating 'it's the PC, stupid' so they should know better, that I'm getting more and more comfortable defending Trump. I'm not totally at ease with that fact, but they keep pushing, they keep pushing people like me more towards Trump, whether we wanted to go there or not. They not only created the fertile environment for his rise, they feed the movement that bore him to the Presidency. And yet, they do not see. douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241790925053112959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-90322804057131260292016-11-22T15:09:05.239-05:002016-11-22T15:09:05.239-05:00Some of Trump's appeal was to trade protection...Some of Trump's appeal was to trade protectionism and isolationism, but a huge part of it was a full-throated rejected of PC bullying. It was such a relief to see someone refuse to cower. Even when I agreed withe the PC position--it does happen from time to time--I was glad to see him bite back.Texan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/10479561573903660086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-29060670068815278062016-11-22T14:32:57.268-05:002016-11-22T14:32:57.268-05:00Show me some "diversity"TM and I will sh...Show me some "diversity"TM and I will show you a lot of people with differing color, race, sex, sexual identity, occupation and national origin who all think exactly the same way, no diversity allowed under pain of excommunication.
