[screaming at the top of my lungs, once again] the fundamental technology of humanity is care
We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that.
We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs.
Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I remember when CBS cancelled The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour because they criticized the Vietnam War and made fun of Nixon, and he didn’t like it.
CBS also cancelled Lou Grant claiming “declining ratings” but caved to pressure from conservatives because Ed Asner was a liberal activist.

Stephen Miller: "What would LA look like without illegal aliens? You would be able to see a doctor in the ER right away, no wait time, no problem. You kids would go to a public school that had more money than they know what to do with. Classrooms would be half the size."

Mike Lawler promised not to cut Medicaid, then ripped health insurance away from 32,216 constituents.
He promised to repeal the SALT cap then passed a weak fix.

Pundits are - in vain - looking to economics and politics when trying to explain Trump's behavior.
But, in reality, the central place to look if we want to understand Trump and his policies is this:
The psychology of dominance.
