Books that helped me understand the Trumpers at the beginning of his administration were works like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strangers_in_Their...

The downside is that it kind of confirms the fears that Trump and his media lackeys have been stoking for months, and just when the Democrats are sett...

He’s simply a conman who tells them what they want to hear and in a way that they enjoy hearing it. Not just anyone can do that. Have you ever watched...

It feels more vindictive than cautionary to me, and a really bad idea considering how beat Trump was and the potential backfire.

Damn! I’ve been outfoxed again by your philosophical prowess. But seriously, your claim was: “Black Lives Matter were just applauded uncritically by t...

Nah, because philosophers support their claims and you’ve claimed to be a philosopher.

There are Republican members that are not treated as you’ve been treated, therefore you can’t conclude that it’s because of your political identity.

Again you’re not sounding centrist.

Fairness and impartiality are good. How about evidence? Can you post a link of any media outlet doing what you claim?

Some believe that a part of the anger that Trump utilized was them becoming underclass and seeing minorities rising in status.

Remarkable that you can stereotype and criticize stereotyping in the same breath. I merely mentioned that you appear alt-right, meaning that you reaso...

Basically, white conservatives forced access and ransacked the nation's capital. Imagine, if you will, ten thousand African American US citizens plann...

Trying to not be PC? It makes you appear alt-right.

Odd as it may sound, Trump claimed that there was fraud in 2016, just not to the extent of the last election. Preparing the way for any future loss, I...

News outlets are businesses that seek profit and consequently cater to their audiences. Some audiences want more factual information and others prefer...

I think it might be fruitless to argue with such a discerning mind. I’m surprised that he bothered to explicitly state that he does not want to do tha...

One difference is that BLM riots are based on actual faults in law enforcement whereas you’ve said yourself that you don’t believe that there was wide...

It could be argued that he’s responsible for the condition of the Republican Party today, and that he achieved it in only four years, so how good is h...

A negative bias, and one that is promoted in order to secure a dominant position. Both left and right critique political correctness but it’s not very...

I think he’s proven beyond any shadow of doubt to be a liability to the Republican party, but beyond that I tend to think he’s untouchable.

With 80 million followers and ample funding Trump could easily start his own Twitter-like platform. It is a free country, after all.

The majority is apparently liberal if that’s what you’re trying to say, sans the micro-drama.

The spirit was Trumpers believing the lie that the election was stolen from them and wanting to do something about it. Some violence was preplanned, a...

Yeah, no, his only value is entertainment.

Hey, you're sounding like a BLM supporter. :up:

Reminds me of The Walking Dead, a show about a zombie apocalypse. In one episode there's a group of survivors who call themselves the 'whisperers'. Th...

If I recall correctly, you've said that unarmed BLM rioters shot in the street were killed in self-defense, but when an unarmed rioter is shot stormin...

Glad I could help. :victory:

You didn’t get any impression of rioting?

Well, in his political career Biden, for instance, has supported much of the ‘law & order’ politics and adversarial culture of law enforcement. No rea...

Putin gives all his trolls cute pet names. NOS in Russian means ‘small droopy balls’.

Trump’s zombie hordes didn’t have the attention span for the boring political theatre that Ted Cruz and the other power-grubbing congressmen had plann...

He has an Irish temper.

@"frank" You’re Canadian?

Now would probably be a good time for Trump to concede, but yeah, it’s Trump.

Is 80 million votes against Trump really that hard to believe? He worked very hard for over 4 years to demonize half the country, after all.

The notoriously violent leftists didn’t need to be teargassed on January 6, 2017.

Not official, the scoundrels are still toying with the election, for shits and giggles I guess. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/13468451097...

Not a good day for the poor Trumpsta’s, with the final nail in the Trump presidency coffin and losing the majority in the senate. Soon their lives wil...

People can be just as rude. In fact I’ve disabled chat in the app that I use because people are too often that way online.

Groups with common values can form strong bonds and a sense of identity pursuing meaningful goals, that’s what effective branding is all about. The fr...

That's not entirely true, because we're not entirely rational beings. Studies show that the devices we use, such as calculators, are typically judged ...

Have you watched any of the 'stop the steal' protests? The speakers, before indicating where supporters can donate money to the cause, literally do th...

Actually I think that it wouldn’t be inaccurate to say that chess software can more or less simulate emotion. In my recently updated chess.con app, fo...

There’ll be insignificant instances of fraud in any election, just like there is petty theft, despite it being illegal. Only “widespread voter fraud” ...

In the wiki article on chess aesthetics that I just looked up I guess the specific aesthetic factor in the Dutch Defense would be paradox, the range o...

This seems to imply that you believe there was organized widespread voter fraud because if this were simply another one of his cons it wouldn't necess...

Indeed, some can play dozens of blind chess games simultaneously.

I recall reading somewhere that aesthetics used to the fashion in chess at some point in history, don't recall what era.
