74 million people voted for Donald Trump. Writing them all off as irredeemable bigots risks deepening divides and repeating these outcomes in future elections. Instead of impulsively dismissing them as sexist or stupid, we should listen to what they say about the frustrations driving their choices. Understanding their grievances isn’t excusing hatred—it’s a crucial step toward bridging divides and protecting democracy.
Few people in America’s modern history played as integral of a role in the Republican politics that culminated in the election of Donald Trump as did the old guard televangelist and former GOP presidential candidate Pat Robertson.
‘The Breach – the Untold Story of the Investigation Into January 6th’ is a 2022 book by Denver Riggleman, assisted by Hunter Walker. It is the story of the January 6th 2021 US Capitol Insurrection as told through the lens of cutting edge data technology analysis which reveals the connections and correspondence of those insurrectionists…
This last election, as a New Yorker, I knew that my vote had already
been cast. I was able to smugly write in my all-time favorite (very
dead) journalist, “Hunter S Thompson.” I know it’s been said a million
times before, but in these midterms, there is just too much at stake for me
to “sit it out.” As a friend of a friend most eloquently stated,
“sometimes the lesser of two evils is way less evil.”
If you had asked me two years ago if I thought America was stupid enough to elect the most vile, narcissistic, crude, bumbling, incoherent fool who ever stumbled into office, I would have said no way. Oh, how I long for those days when I still believed America was only the partially dim-witted uncle I…
For years, my friends and I have been discussing how great it would be if a true political outsider, not beholden to the entrenched political norm, would somehow find a way to circumvent the establishment and come to power. Well, that just happened. Fuck…
I awoke this morning feeling philosophical (and somewhat hung over) and came to a conclusion… Society is fucked. It’s not the Left’s fault. It’s not the Right’s fault. It’s everyone’s fault. When I view my Facebook news feed these days, it’s literally: Fuck Trump. Fuck snowflakes. Fuck Trump. Fuck snowflakes. Fuck Trump. Literally. One on top…
I think – I fervently hope – that these tactics and the whole strategy of fear-mongering will fail over time. Our history argues that, in America, the pendulum almost invariably swings back to common sense and tolerance after the fever breaks.
Everything we have feared over the last several years is barreling directly towards us at a fevered pace. Every bad executive order and bill Obama passed (that we had protested and railed against) is now in the arsenal of this tyrannical man-baby.
This election year is by far the most insane spectacle I have ever witnessed in American politics. Radicalism is at an all time high – regardless of political stance – and the “candidates” could possibly be the absolute worst that this nation has to offer. The American people are bombarded with propaganda on a daily basis…
In America, we love to be outraged over the imagined, but when our fellow brothers and sisters are facing a legitimate crisis, we respond by sticking our heads in the sand; or worse yet, we go so low as to blame the victims.
