Teach basic black American history but dump the Kendi anti-racist crap. Drive a national campaign and push the left fringe out of the limelight on this topic. 2022 is going to be a bloodbath if the Dems don't get control of the narrative and put a muzzle on their fringe. I believe some have done this but it won't work anyway. Half the lefts issue is that they think they can reason their way to winning a culture war that they're losing to people who have no care for facts, only how they can leverage outrage to political advantage. This is why I reject the childish and naive notion that reps like Gosar would be rendered toothless if we just ignored them. That may be the appropriate reaction for rational thinkers. But I'm rational enough to recognize there aren't nearly enough if them, and that logic is not going to overcome the passions of stupid people in large numbers who are "angry and not going to take it anymore" behind reason.

Yeah, if we’ve learned one thing about the left, it’s their rigid adherence to facts and evidence and ability to hold rational conversations.

Well to be fair I'm talking about the policy wonk left. The actual elected Democrats. I know you think every leftist is some woke idiot pining for communism, but those morons aren't in the driver's seat (yet). See: progressives getting the middle finger from democrat moderates who got enough Republican on board to pass an infrastructure bill. But yeah, I guess taking issue with one part of my comment because you're as bad as the lefty morons who see all Republicans as knuckle dragging Trump bots totally invalidates it in totality

November 22, 20213 yr all I can say is I am glad I will be dead in 20-30 years - This place is going down hill rapidly in the name of Progressive Liberalism. If you vote with this side, you have no moral leg to stand on.

If you vote with this side, you have no moral leg to stand on. Sounds bad at first but you have to scroll to find what they decided. Plus it's only in the treatment programs, not in legal documents or court or anything. Quote In the end, the board voted 10-6 to go with "adults who commit sexual offenses.” "I think this strikes a balance that honors the impact to victims and recognizes the current and ongoing impacts of sexual assault but also avoids the labeling term that has negative impacts on those who commit sex offenses.”

Not only is Maher a liberal, not a conservative, he undoubtably won't support the next Republican president. It's mocking hypocritical Republicans like yourself.

Yeah that was odd. it's also nice to see a conservative satire site being able to laugh at themselves too. Quote From medicare for all and a wealth tax to free college and canceling student debt, the conservative systematically dismantled every policy liberals support, though he's going to cave on every single one of these just a few years from now. The man says he's staunchly opposed to how fast progressives are changing things and prefers the conservative approach of changing the exact same things but just on a little bit of a delay. "Liberals are ruining this country," he said, shaking both his head and his fist. "They go and put forth all these radical ideas that will destroy the fabric of our society. Sure, I end up conceding ground to the libs and supporting policies I would have found appalling just five years ago. But I've got to be the voice of reason here and caution everyone against the very ideas I will come to agree with a short time from now." "I mean, let's slow down and put things on a five-year lag," he added. "The only way to save this country is for me to half-heartedly resist progressive changes before inevitably making concessions and holding the same beliefs they held just five years ago."
