"the elite of the antebellum South were degenerate gamblers who financed their lifestyles with industrialized rape and would kill you for pointing this out" is a straightforwardly accurate statement

sometimes you'll learn that, like, Napoleon did legal reforms which are the basis for many countries legal systems today. with slavery you learn that men would rape people and enslave their own children

slavery is one of the rare things historically where the more you learn about it the more you realize your initial assessment was correct and it was in fact one of the most evil things ever to occur
Physically incapable of analyzing politics outside of this insipid frame.

This is 100 percent true and every single person who laments the loss of the antebellum South in any way should be forced to read firsthand accounts of what planters did to enslaved people with their eyeballs pinned open until reality sets in

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

A 16 year old San Antonio kid was essentially killed by a football coaching staff during an offseason workout.
Players were subjected to punishment drills and repeatedly noted the distress of their teammate, to no avail.
After he collapsed, the rest of the team was compelled to continue the drill.

This elitist view that only rich/Ivy/private school kids should study/have access the liberal arts is so deeply ingrained in so many highly educated Democrats’ views (including tons who majored in the lib arts themselves) that they don’t even realize they hold it, let alone how ugly & elitist it is
(3) But the Democrat view is also bad: while it's fine for people at Princeton and Harvard to study Latin and Sanskrit, public higher education is about job training and $ ROI. There is no room for the idea that curiosity-driven inquiry is a good that should be supported by the public.

every day ask yourself what you can do to Bring Back Shame
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

white people aren’t real and the white race doesn’t exist. if you identify as white you are allowing fascists to steal your ethnic heritage.
you need to get into genealogy, find your ancestors’ ellis island records, and get super into making food from your specific ethnic heritage. buy some paprika

2. What they say: we need more babies to help the nation! What they mean: we need more ethnically-desirable (white) babies to help the (aspirational white) nation. And when pushed, they revert to their existential fears: flagging white birthrates mean that "the white race" will "go extinct".

Just to underscore:
Trans people, we aren't "issues".
Me, I'm not an "ideology".
I'm a human, like anyone else.
The only "ideology" here is those bigots who use such rhetoric in their effort to dehumanize trans people — because they want us gone.

Polling on trans issues is difficult to interpret. It becomes even more difficult when pollsters use politically charged terms like 'transgender ideology.'

My quote of the day
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
