They'll all claim they were just making the best of a bad situation.

Re: The Election Thread To Talk About The Election
I sort of think the lesson they're going to learn from this is that they weren't openly racist enough, and they'll double down on it, priming their base, until the second coming of another trumplike leader.revbob wrote: ↑30 Oct 2020, 9:30pmThey'll all claim they were just making the best of a bad situation.

Re: The Election Thread To Talk About The Election
What bothers me the most about a potential Trump victory (and a lot bothers me) is that it gives that much more voice to the very worst of us: the racist, the homophobic, the sexist, the zealots, the ignorant, the bullies, the xenophobic, and on and on. The true dumpster people of society. The absolute dregs.

Plenty of German women thought Hitler was sexy. Clearly mental illness can be a social condition.

He doesn't challenge people to improve upon themselves. That's a bigger deal than we seem to make of it. It's someone telling you, "the status quo is fine, you don't need to change or giving anything up so more people can have a better situation." It's an appealing thing to hear because self-sacrifice or stepping out of your comfort zone isn't inherent for most people. It's the opposite of that Kennedy quote "ask not what your country..."WestwayKid wrote: ↑02 Nov 2020, 1:55pmWhat bothers me the most about a potential Trump victory (and a lot bothers me) is that it gives that much more voice to the very worst of us: the racist, the homophobic, the sexist, the zealots, the ignorant, the bullies, the xenophobic, and on and on.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: The Election Thread To Talk About The Election
More than that, if you don't have everything you think you deserve, there are sinister people to blame for that (immigrants, Muslims, women, homosexuals, minorities, etc). It takes a legitimate grievance—yeah, most people aren't living as well to the degree that they deserve as human beings—and then turning those people against each other.matedog wrote: ↑02 Nov 2020, 4:08pmHe doesn't challenge people to improve upon themselves.
