Collaboration Between Artist and Audience

I've heard a few people allude to this idea, but it strikes me odd that it is not more apparent and more discussed. Any time you read a piece of fiction, you are doing at least half the work in the story's creation. You read the words on the page, and if you're an interested participant (i. e. you l...

Re: The MAGA movement needs to grow up

I'm pretty sure Trump's diet will catch up with him before MAGA grows up.

I'm rooting for KFC. Go high saturated fat!

Re: The MAGA movement needs to grow up

Religious people need to grow up. It's not just Trump fans. MAGA is just one idiotic cult among many. Nothing stunts growth and ensures immaturity like adhering to one religion or another. Blaming the devil or relying on a god is all about escaping personal responsibility. Religious adherents are da...

Re: Perhaps the Best Evidence of Trump's Stupidity Yet.

aw come on,he can claim to not know the women whether or not he remembers. He can claim to know about the lawyers without meaning he knows their employer. He can claim stuff about the lawyers without knowing much of anything about them. Any of these or variations fit his usual dodge and sew confusi...

Re: Perhaps the Best Evidence of Trump's Stupidity Yet.

I'd just like to point out that the best evidence Trump is stupid is Trump's whole life. But this here is a dead giveaway: “I just posted a $91 million bond on a fake story. Totally made up story,” Mr Trump said. “Based on false accusations made about me by a woman that I knew nothing about, didn’t ...

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

The only stupidity I see is in people who allowed themselves to bamboozled by the COVID fearmongers... Exactly, when they could be rectally inserting horse dewormers and inhaling bleach as Trump recommended. I am not surprised at all on the limited amount of stupidity ajax observes. It's like an an...

Re: The MAGA movement needs to grow up

Most people don't want to live in a dictatorship. I get the feeling most people have barely considered what it would be like. It's a remote idea they don't really believe is possible in America. They've bathed in democracy so long, they're spoiled. MAGA likes to whine about the state of our governm...

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

Totally unrelated, here's a study published in Psychological Science on how lower cognitive ability is a reliable predicter for someone holding social conservatism, or right-wing authoritarianism ideologies.

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

I guess I'm still naïve and romantic enough to be surprised that this time there's no Washington, Lincoln or Wilson, FDR, JFK. There isn't even Obama. There's Biden. I'm pretty sure they're still out there. They are simply unelectable in this culture, so they aren't running. I've been playing this ...

Re: The MAGA movement needs to grow up

MAGA is based on the rantings of an old man who never grew up, so it's not even possible. Infantilism is built into the "movement." Grown-ups don't talk like Trump or any of his loyal (idiotic) fans, because maturity prevents it. Maturity is directly correlated with taking responsibility, which is a...
