this is the think tank for the faction that runs the party now lol

also the same writers wrote a follow-up, they think they nailed it
But it is one thing to say that race matters, and quite another to say that it dominates everything. A white Willie Horton may not have struck the same degree of terror as did a black Willie Horton -- but violent rapists are frightening regardless of color. By concentrating on race alone, Democrats avoid confronting the fact that for years they have been perceived as the party that is weaker on crime and more concerned about criminals than about victims If the white working-class felt morally and culturally isolated from those who took over the party in the early seventies; they were to feel economically isolated when white elites turned to no-growth policies in the mid-seventies just as the economy was beginning to grind to a halt. This new economic isolation was reflected in the popular culture by items such as bumper stickers that read "If you're out of work and hungry, eat an environmentalist." It was reflected in the tax rebellion -- a result of the non-indexed income tax during a period of soaring inflation that pushed average families into higher marginal brackets while their real incomes stagnated. It was also reflected in the inability of organized labor to deliver substantial proportions of their membership for the Democratic ticket and in the rise of "Reagan Democrats," working-class voters who abandoned the Democratic Party for the cultural and moral affinity provided by Ronald Reagan.

unfortunately as someone who grew up during the "war on terror" and during the illegal war in Iraq, everett true's reaction to US entry into WW1 in 1917 suuuucked
Panel 1: Everett True passes two men talking. One says "have you heard anything new on the war?" and the other replies "Not exactly, but they tell me the pacifists are going to hold a meeting tonight at eight o'clock." Second panel: Eight o'clock. Sign next to a staircase says "pacifist meeting here tonight 8 o'clock welcome. Everett True stands in front of the doorway with his umbrella in hand, and a group of men look around a corner at him, scared. One says "They hain't a person got in yit!" First panel: Everett True notices a record in the window of a Music Store. Second panel: He enters. Third panel: He slams the shop-owners head down onto the counter and says "I notice that in your front window you have a copy of the song 'I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be A Soldier'. Take it out and keep it out!!" First panel: Everett True passes a movie poster for a film entitled "Peace" with the tagline A Compelling Argument Against the Horrors of War!! Second panel: Everett True is standing over the manager in the manager's office after knocking him over and says "You don't seem to realize that we're trying to raise an army! Well, we are!!" First panel: Everett True says to a man sitting on a bench "Mr. Drone, you're 28 years old, single, and have no one depending on you. Are you waiting to be drafted?" The man replies "I'm not going till I have to. I don't like the idea of wearing a wooden leg the rest of my life." Second panel: True comically punches him off the bench and says "That hadn't ought to bother you -- you've lived this long with a wooden head!!!"

so everett true's reaction to the influenza pandemic became something of a meme, which is good, it was a good strip a lot of the time
Comic: Outbursts of Everett True First panel: A grinning man notices that titular character Everett True, a round dapper angry man, is wearing a flu mask. Second panel: The grinning man returns home in bandages and his shocked wife exclaims "John!!"

Three of the countries, Russia, Germany, and Great Britain, had monarchs who were first cousins. Tsar Nicholas II, King George V of England, and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany. By the end of the war two of them would be deposed in revolutions.

screenshot showing the help text in Disgaea. Etna is saying "Paralysis (depraved status ailment icon): Cannot use 'Move'", and Laharl has the same symbol over his head because he has a status ailment Same as previous except it says "Depraved(paralysis symbol): Will not gain any EXP."

It seems kinda contrary to what she had to say about empathy, though i think her definition is narrower than what people mean colloquially
