His ancestors are weeping

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

-Wilhoit’s Law

That’s it. That’s all. They want an out-group to abuse. And they have to justify people being in that out-group, so they make them lesser somehow: they’re ‘stupider, crueler, useless to society’, unlike the Amazing and Super Perfect people in the in-group.

You got a plan then?

Sure, now they complain.

Don’t for a second think it’s by accident. This was done to make areas less accessible to ‘undesirables’. After builders and realtors were told to stop forcing PoC into specific areas, they just went ahead and built suburbs that you basically had to have a car to access, ensuring poorer people were kept out.

He’s probably doing it in preparation for revoking the ADA.

‘Tell me I’m part of an in-group. That I’m great and that I belong and that nothing will change that. Then show me an out-group, and make them suffer so I can feel even better about being in the in-group.’

That is what Conservatives have been asking for. That is what they really want. And he’s giving it to them, as a thank-you for getting him into office.

See also: ‘He’s not hurting the right people!’

The bonus is this also advances the Nazi agenda.

Firearms. They’re asking about firearms.

They were then too.

Hell, lots of people in the US were in the Nazi camp all way up to WWII when we got to see that kind of regime in unfettered action.

Well that’s a bit alarming.

Well, that’s disappointing. Usually Merkley and Wyden are forefront of fighting this stuff.

Some people cause joy wherever they go, others whenever they go.

Trump is not a Billionaire, he just pretends to be one.

Hahaha this writer actually believes that Democrats really care about our country, instead of just being the party of controlled opposition.

Yeah, but he says that because he 100% believed they’d all get Judged when they died and punished for eternity in hell.

While it is a step in the right direction, I suppose, ‘I’m going to be nice to you because you’re going to get what’s coming to you later’ isn’t the best attitude to have, methinks.

They literally didn’t say that

Y’know, it’s a lot easier to have a conversation when you don’t put words in the other person’s mouth.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

He got it

I’m supporting ACLU

Speaking as someone who lives in the Pacific Northwest, that shit can take full sun to full shade, grow insanely fast, and choke out even the largest trees. Leave a small piece in the soil by accident, and you’ve got a new monster-sized plant before you can blink.

It all depends on where you live. Lucky you that you live in a place where ivy behaves itself. Not everyone gets to be that lucky.

Heading is different from already being there.
