By "lived through it" I mean I was an adult and have watched it all unfolding in real time - many younger people don't have reference points for how the world has been changing. I'm not implying I'm some battle-scarred survivor or whatever.

I've never voted for fascism, but yes identity politics and the constant disparagement of maleness and whiteness on the left have been a giant boon to the fascists that have always been lurking in our society. Division serves the worst elements of society and always has.

Trump is the reaction to decades of identity politics - It's obvious to anyone who lived through it. That's why these articles get flogged so hard every week - keep the Dems on the path of self destruction.

Racializing everything empowers racists. White men are also trying to save our government. The more salient point is that billionaires are destroying our government - and some of them are not even white.

the white=bad and male=bad narratives of the left empower the worst people and help nothing.

This is a really dumb response to the problems facing out society. Any time an author thinks they speak for "women" and that most women are "feminists" you know they are so deep in a bubble that they have nothing to offer.

how many women voted for Trump? enough to make this analysis useless.

You are special and so are they. Enjoy this beautiful creation expanding from everywhere all at once in incomprehensible dimensions.

Or, you know, just stay focused on being mean and petty - I guess that makes you feel good? sort of a lefty version of "owning the libs"?

kind of weird

you probably like toll roads too - because you hate poor people and want a multi-tiered society where infrastructure caters to the rich and you don't have to be exposed to the poors and their troubles.

you, sir, are no George Michael!

let that be the end of this madness

$110/person/night -but but but "the optics". This is just fodder to stir up moronic republicans that hate all government workers.

hating poor people is one of the few things that transcends political parties in the US.

She is definitely talented, but, personally, I'm into music not "performers". I think that is what some people are getting at when being overly critical of her. I'd say the same of Taylor Swift.

Solar is great, but putting it on farmland when we have endless expanses of less productive land is the height of stupidity
