  1. They have nothing to do with the idea, self preservation is the only motivation.
  2. What does that even mean he’s riding a green Trump like a donkey? Trump is a democrat? The kid is ANTIFA?
  3. The clip stopped in the middle of the woman host saying “what are we going to do about our country because we have radicals on the r…” wonder what was next.
  4. I’m strongly considering deleting online profiles and telling imma to delete all my DT and CR posts. I know it’s not perfect and history is still there but still, I’m not sure I’m going to keep talking publicly about anything related to politics.
  5. So if this kid decided that Kirk was a fascist and he killed him for it does this make him the left version of Kyle rittenhouse? If leftists are so radical and violent why aren’t there calls for him to be elected to Congress?
  6. Who are yall talking about ? The dad? Yall are reading way too much into his photos if so.
  7. Same in suburban Texas. Even limited mentions you get a “reason for the season” type thing on a Christmas photo or an Easter Sunday best photo, usually something.
  8. That’s what I assumed
  9. Not anti religion just silent and I don’t know what that means with a Mormon overlay but it can go both ways here.
  10. To be fair while that looks to be true, the Facebook feed devoid of religion and politics is what my outdoorsy guy friends who surprise you with liberal views look like.
  11. Re your edit - he’s the guy that would slip through many gun reform laws.
  12. Missed that. The family look does scream trumpy but smart enough to stay quiet but honestly I’m in a similar suburb and the folks who have no religion and no politics on their feeds can go either way. I know some salt life looking types that are tranny-loving libs, I know because they are my friends.
  13. I agree. I hate all of this.
  14. I feel bad for mom and dad to be really honest. I hate all of this.
  15. Yeah honestly that’s liberal for Utah.
  16. I scrolled the mom’s fb page linked in CR… I scrolled to 2017… No religion, nuclear straight white family. Uncle in the military, lots of holidays and vacations, outdoors, camping, salt life hat, army hat, pretty benign suburb looking family. One gun pic but it was in connection with being on a militarybase so no big deal. No politics no religion, just a mom bragging on her family kids and life.
  17. Nor a tranny. Probably not even pro tranny.
  18. I scrolled to 2017… No religion, nuclear straight white family. Uncle in the military, dad looks the trumper part but honestly I know some outdoor types that look that part and are flaming liberal, lots of holidays and vacations, outdoors, camping, salt life hat, army hat, pretty benign suburb looking family. One gun pic but it was in connection with being on a military base so no big deal. No politics no religion, just a mom bragging on her family kids and life.
  19. What’s the pastor part all about?
  20. So do we know anything about this kid? I’m hearing churchy things, patriotic flag shirt, white cisgender kid, what do we know?
  21. Protecting the working class and this country will protect all of those groups. That’s what the focus group constituents need to grasp. Venn diagrams are our friend here. Find the largest over lap among dem constituents and focus on those issues - and you will find reform relating to health care, taxes, education, student loans, childcare, basic civil rights (equality act refresh of the civil rights act is a great venn diagram over lap), women’s rights, immigration reform, protecting our institutions from corruption, voting rights act, judicial act reform, buttressing our government agencies against authoritarianism, rebuilding the destroyed agencies, social security reform, Medicare for all, Medicaid expansion, constitutional amendments to protect our democracy, eliminating the electoral college via constitutional amendments, prohibiting gerrymandering for political gain, and the list goes on and on…. okay, test time…. which one of those categorically excludes blacks, women, Hispanics, poor, trans, gay, queer, those without college degrees, working class, middle class, single parents, young adults, children…? answer…. None. question…. Which one one these by definition only applies to only one or two of those groups and excludes all others from applicability? answer… None. question…. Which one of these initiatives is identified as an identity politics policy? answer… None. this isn’t hard.
  22. Nuance is everything imo. *yes I did just do that.
  23. I have turned away political aspirations a dozen times even told two higher level staffer / strategists no in one on one meetings. It wasn’t an all out pitch but more of a”you should think about it” and “well if you ever do decide, I can help” type conversations st a happy hour. I’ve thought about moving to settle in a district and then run, fuck to the fuck no. No way no how, I too don’t want to get murdered. And that fear is real right now among democrats.
  24. I think post graduate education in the US remains relatively unharmed at this moment especially in the professional degrees and in the areas where politics aren’t naturally connected. While law has some politics it really doesn’t in law school outside of con law and civil liberties. We are a country of morons for headline purposes but following a bell curve there are almost 20% of the college bound kids that are one to two std deviations above the mean and the sample set is college kids not the entire population. That’s a really smart group of generally smart folks and a good percentage are choosing law, medicine, business, engineering, etc. and going to post graduate institutions that to-date are left unharmed. I have no doubt that the top students at the top 50 law schools today are just as whip smart as they were 25 years ago. the problem isn’t the top the problem is the middle and bottom.
