As I said, only about 25% of the voting population voted for Trump. Layer on the fact that a certain percentage of people within this segment will not...

There are about 250M Americans who are of voting age. Of that, only ~138M voted in the 2016 election, (or 55% of the total voting population). Of thos...

What's the over/under on a Me Too story about Harold Bloom coming out in the next year?

It's actually very easy to climb a 30 ft. wall, I've done it several times without any training. Child's play.

And Trump's move out of Syria is easily one of the worst foreign decisions since the Iraq War.

Being a Trump supporter clearly causes some form of brain damage

Are you so brain-dead that you can't admit this type of stochastic terrorism by the president and his supporters is bad?

Feel free to refute the counterpoints I provided! The irony is the circle jerk that devolved in this thread over the arguments made in the video, desp...

Accepting the history (and continuance!) of racism, as you acknowledge in this first sentence here, does not mean "engaging in racism". The best way t...

You can read an article from the NY Review of Books by historian Andrea Pitzer, who recently wrote a book about the history of concentration camps.

oh here's the problem

I didn't, because you are over-analyzing a cartoon in a digression that I'm not following whatsoever.
