Political Correctness

[Jaw]

Just Roseanne?

Trump can certainly be seen as a parallel, and that should make everyone pause to consider how marginalized that group of voters must have felt by the other party to vote for him anyway. To take it a step further, I don't want to watch Roseanne. Given the choice between Roseanne and Samantha Bee, I'll hold my nose and choose Roseanne. It's unfortunate that we can't just turn off the TV to escape bad politicians the same way we can escape unfunny and classless comedians.

Not religion, Christianity. She would have been fired the same day if her remarks had been about Islam or Judaism.

Exactly. The double standard on what is acceptable discourse in this country is absurd and for some reason we allow the left to dictate the terms.

This is the bit I struggle with, on a number of levels.

me too...unless someone has shown a causal link between marginalization and nihilism

You can struggle with it all you want but these are real people who have these feelings.

[57Brave]

yeah, all negative 3 million real people

Quit swallowing the soup that Trump totes a mandate.
He won the electoral college with the help of targeted messages in targeted districts assisted by a foreign entity.

In movie talk, he gamed the system

thinking with your glands and making important decisions based on that tends not to work out well

Then decision 18 months ago has worked out tremendously well

Weird that a narcissist cancelling an event cause some didn’t want to come to his ****ty party cause they disagree with him didn’t show up in this thread

[sturg33]

Seems like it just did.

Not sure how that qualifies as politically correct though

Two things here:

1) I’m going to doubt you can win the Republican Nomination in such dominating fashion without a large bloc of those voters already supporting him.

2) There’s a difference between tepidly siding with someone and giving him full-throated support. Many of those voters have eagerly done the latter.

Stupid meme as the policies are dictated by the owner of the establishment. If a worker refused service because of that they should be fired. Just like if a worker made a political protest they should be fired.

Amazing how dumb you can be.

Why wouldn't you side with someone that has delivered on the promises that made you vote for them?

can we assume you side with Lester Maddox ?

If a business owner wants to make a decision that negatively impacts their business then they are entitled to do it. It would just be a stupid decision to do what Maddox espoused and he would lose out to inclusion establishments.

[57Brave]

But you maintain Lester Maddox has the "right" to stand in the door way with an axe handle to threaten people of color ?

Amazingly, voters would not have been able to use that argument two years ago, as they are presumably not time travelers. Also, do you really think President Ted Cruz would not have nominated someone like Gorsuch or endorsed legislation that appealed to conservative voters?

If he is not wielding the axe attacking people then yes someone has the right to stand on their property with an axe. Now if that axe is used in any other purpose other than self-defense then they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

But again, this argument is stupid because a business owner that did this now would not be in business for a long time so the market will legislate this behavior out.

Oddly enough Maddox was a democrat.
