  1. Then what is it that they’re upset about? You can only keep up this charade for so long before you forfeit your right to define the terms being used.
  2. Putting aside my objection to your sloppy use of the word “moderate,” this isn’t exclusive to any type of person. There’s no broad category of people who like being condescended to or told how to act/feel. That’s not the issue. The issue is that we, as a society, have been forcibly moved slowly to the right of the political spectrum to the point where we’re supposed to give equal consideration between the whines and bitches over imagined issues conjured up by right wing blowhards and the actual grievances that anyone to the left of them (not even necessarily on the left of the spectrum) people have over issues that affect not only their lives but the lives of people they care about. The environment isn’t on the same level as a misunderstood strawman of Critical Race Theory The concept of a living wage isn’t on the same level of censoring books in public libraries (and that by itself is objectively an untenable position) The concept of public healthcare isn’t on the same level as misunderstood “fraydumbs.” The concern over nuclear proliferation is not on the same level as piss ant racist attitudes needing to be coddled for the purposes of making degenerates feel good. And if people like you feel bad that I’m using the word “degenerate,” there’s a very simple way to quash that: don’t come to us with degenerate beliefs. Yes, there are such things as degenerate beliefs, much as you kick back against that. -The belief that illegal immigrants are leeches on society that apply for public benefits is a degenerate belief -The belief that African American men are genetically more prone to crime than anyone else is a degenerate belief -The belief that homosexuals shouldn’t be able to codify their relationships in the same way heterosexuals can is a degenerate belief. -The belief that global climate change is a hoax being perpetrated by the Chinese in order to rob us of our economic freedom is a degenerate belief -The belief that COVID-19 is a hoax being perpetrated by the Chinese in order to rob us of our religious freedom is a degenerate belief -The belief that the 2020 presidential election (and only the presidential election) was stolen from Donald Trump by a voting machines system that was invented by Hugo Chavez is a degenerate belief Oh you don’t like the phrase “degenerate belief?” Fine. I’ll substitute “lie” in its place. How’s that? No, the reason dems are feeling heat is that it’s not a single reason. It’s a host of factors that range from a rampage of disinformation regarding the deadliest pandemic we’ve ever seen in our nation’s history, economic downturn that’s a combination of ill effects from that pandemic as well as workers finally beginning to kick back against the very elitist and corporate nature of that economy (elitism and corporatism that douchebags like Youngkin live to defend, incidentally), so on and so forth. It’s not one thing, and it never is. To pin it down on “wokeness” is to parrot shit that someone else heard from Tucker Carlson or Nick Bongino or some other talking head who has an economic interest in promoting candidates/parties when their listeners do not. Virginia voters won’t benefit one iota from Youngkin’s term as governor, and they don’t care because at least “we owned the libs on November 2nd 2021!!!” It’s no different than when people in California say “we won!!!” when the Lakers get another NBA ring. Those gop voters in Virginia didn’t win shit last night. Some cracker, who would hate them if he personally knew them, won against some other cracker. And most people don’t want others calling them Maoists, Castroites, Stalinists, Leninists or cucks just because they have political views to the left of Atila the Hun. There again you take only one half of that dynamic into consideration. Oh bullshit. If you were so concerned about the political spectrum, you’d at least presumably know what it is and where candidates fall on it. You’d then know that both parties are well to the right of the population on virtually all issues of actual consequence, and that the only thing separating them is that the republicans are even further to the right than the Democratic Party, which is pretty far to the right on their own. If you wanted the country to be governed from the actual center, there’s no way in hell you could rationalize voting for a Republican. Such as? The lesson learned from this election is that people are highly suggestible and easily persuaded by con artists and would rather vote against their own interests and see lib tears than see their own situation improve, let alone their fellow man.
  3. At the end of the day, what they’re asking the rest of us to do is to coddle degenerate thinking and degenerate behavior. They can deny that all they want to, but that’s what they’re doing.
  4. Next step? A Republican lawyer will argue self defense on grounds that “the uber ghey fehg lib cuck, being the coldhearted communist socialist antifa BLM that he was, would have murdered my client by freezing and shattering him had my client not killed him in his sleep in self-defense.”
  5. He probably consulted with Kent Hance
  6. "Donald Trump! I killed his children! Then I raped his plastic wife! Then I smashed his head in like this!"
  7. Right, this is a real “wouldn’t you know who won the pony” moment in the CFP/CFB discourse about this silly topic.
  8. I mean that ranks right up there with justifying abstinence only education. The amount of tone deafness to reality is just shocking…then again maybe it’s not.
  9. If this isn’t the most @HenryJamespost of all time, I’d like to know what is.
  10. Ah yes the bastard offspring of “Americans think the world is round because NASA said so”
  11. I’m giving you advanced permission to keep it on grounds that you losing the bet only means it happened 1-6 months after you say it would have.
  12. Yeah you’re definitely the poster boy for sticking to relevant issues.
  13. Seriously, let’s go Brandon is to the 2020’s as Tuck Fexas was to the 1970’s. So congratulations, sooner trash!
  14. They were saying “dump truck”
  15. Aha! I caught you, you fucking snake in the grass! Every red blooded American knows it’s “gerd jerbs!!!”
  16. Yeah and the next paragraph is pretty damned important: "A few days later, Axley received another email from the university. It said that as the case was moving ahead for a final decision, Axley needed to sign a document acknowledging that she could be found to have violated the university’s code of conduct. The Liberty Way covers nearly all aspects of a student’s life and includes bans on drinking and “being in any state of undress with a member of the opposite sex.” Pretty much just like the Bible would have it: if they're caught and the woman doesn't scream, it's a death sentence for both of them. If she does scream, the man can get out of it by paying her father 50 shekels of silver, and she'd be his!
  17. I mean if you asked them about sine cosine and tangent, they’d think that’s when two people sign for furniture from NFM and then yell at the delivery guy about illegal immigrants and gays making life hard on them. They signed, co-signed, and went on a tangent.
  18. FIFY
  19. Ok so the way I read this question is that such a loss has to have a ripple effect on the losing team for a long period. In that respect, all the Nebraska wins should suffice because the first one marked the beginning of a steep decline for that program from which they've still not recovered. They had a 9-2 season under first year head coach Bob Devaney back in 1962. Between that and the inaugural Big 12 season of 1996 (34 years), they won at least 9 games in all but 2 seasons (went 6-4 in both '67 and '68). They won at least a share of the MNC 4 times in that period. Over their very loud objections about Texas joining the Big 12, they faced that same Texas in 1996. They did manage to win an MNC in 1997 and made an appearance in the 2001 game, but that 1996 Big 12 CCG marked the beginning of the end. After Miami tossed their limp corpse into the Pacific Ocean, they became an average program at best. Yes, that 1996 game certainly qualifies and I would rank that one ahead of the subsequent defeats. Aggy wins in 1995 and 2011 certainly qualify. 2006 Rose Bowl certainly qualifies, although I'll say the subsequent NCAA sanctions that came down on them also had a lot to do with their slouching into mediocrity. Here are some lesser known ones, largely because they weren't seen as significant wins by UT fans over an extended period: 2008 vs. Kansas. Kansas just came off a BCS bowl win in the previous year, had a solid team coming back the next year. Texas wins 35-7. That was their final loss of what wound up being an 8-5 season, and they haven't won more than 3 games in any year where Mangino was not the HC. Again, the impact of the win was mitigated by subsequent revelations of Mangino's conduct towards his players, which ultimately led to his ouster. 2009 vs. Texas Tech. Like Kansas the year previous, they were coming off the best season in school history. They lose to Texas by 10, ultimately lose 3 other games, Leach gets railroaded by alumni who were reluctant to increase his salary (in fact, the Chancellor of the University would go so far as to commit perjury in order to give the appearance of legitimacy of his for cause termination). Again, mitigating factors, but a loss to Texas is included and Texas Tech has still yet to win 9 games in a season since 2009. 1989 vs. Oklahoma. Gardere's personal first of four in a row, the team ultimately goes 5 out of 6 through 1994 and 7-2-1 to close out the decade of the 1990's, which was easily the worst decade for Oklahoma football. Of course they've since made it back, but it took quite a while .
  20. You’re responding to a quote that’s clearly indicative a truly degenerate mind. We shouldn’t be wasting time responding to people whose values are such that they can justify the fucking invasion of Iraq. That’s about as depraved as it is possible to be.
  21. Offensive line is still like watching a dentist pull teeth, defense was actually pretty damn good for about 45 minutes until those repeated 3-and-outs by the offense took their toll on them.
