Re: Trying to Understand
Schmo, Question for you. How many right-wing friends have you had during the last four years, and how do they stack up against the picture you've painted of Trump supporters in this thread? I have 2 over-the-top Trump supporter friends who are nearly like family, so long as I never say anything abou...

Re: Trying to Understand
Yep, Philo. A few years ago I moved from a deep blue state to a battleground state. I think of myself as more of an outsider to the system than a participant. I don't consider myself a liberal. This was the first time I've ever voted, and it was a nice feeling to think that this one all came down to...

Re: CNN calls for Biden
Was there some foot-shooting going on with all the "watch the polls" nonsense? The president and all of his supporters know they are lying, and are in agreement on the lie, that there is election fraud (aside from their own). Overseeing "fraud" became an obsession with the Right. But how does that h...

Re: A silver lining in a dark cloud of socialism
Ajax doesn't know what socialism is. A couple weeks ago he equated his high energy bill with socialism. He sees his sole energy provider as ripping him off, and calls for market competition to lower his prices. He doesn't know (and don't tell him, I smiled condescendingly behind my monitor and let h...

Re: Is Something "Amiss" at "Mormon Interpreter"?
On the one hand, what, the book he tried to sell the copyright to he didn't quote from much? On the other: Had Joseph taught frequently from the Book of Mormon, rest assured that tidbit would be trumpeted by Mopologists as evidence he found the record precious, divine, correct, and most of all, that...

Re: A silver lining in a dark cloud of socialism
We couldn't have done it without the support of our Latin American brethren. It turns out many of these people don't particularly like socialism and for good reason. It's a lesson that seems particularly fresh on the minds of Cubanos and Venezolanos. Most believe in God, self reliance, private prop...

Re: Why are memes so effective with the Right?
Subgenius pointed out: why memes are so goddamn effective on dim people It's a fair point. If Cam intended to equate dim with base intelligence only, then that would contradict what I said. But dim can also mean poorly educated or rude, or ill-mannered, or willfully ignorant, or a lot of things. And...

Re: Latest Numbers from the Interpreter Foundation
What is lost on Gee is that the wild brutality and sex romps of the Old Testament is par for the course of how things were done back then.

Re: Why are memes so effective with the Right?
I didn't say "stupid", subs, I said "easily influenced". Cam wondered why the religious right is so easily influenced. He didn't wonder why they were "so good at creating memes". It is you who sidestepped. As my long-winded response showed, the religious right isn't that great at creating memes. The...

Re: Biden Probable Winner according to FOX News
I am shocked and dismayed by the fact that a 55% majority of my fellow whites voted for Trump, and heartbroken about what that reveals about how much latent racial and ethnic bigotry still exists in my country Are you sure that's what it's about? Trump has successfully "united the right", I'd say. ...
