The pandemic came and everyone suddenly became a doctor. It took some of us nearly a decade to earn our medical and other related degrees. People are entrenched in their beliefs to the exclusion of common sense, real science and logic. They want to be able to feel good that they “know” more than the experts. A true expert has no ulterior agenda. Although experts do sometimes get stuff wrong, I’d rather listen to an expert than to an uninformed gut.

Yes! We know he didn't say or mean that. But someone could still take from that statement "to vote for Trump one must be a racist" which I know he didn't mean either. But I know that will be the reductive takeaway certain people will have when they hear liberals saying stuff like that.

[@GorinRedspear]

While I wouldn't go as far as calling the GOP a nazist or racist party, the mere fact that so many racists and white supremacists seem to find something appealing about them would be a very good reason for any sane person to have another look at what they stand for. Now, I know what that appeal is: Republicans generally stand for 'each and every person is entitled to his own ideals'. And I can agree with that reasoning to a certain degree (I don't subscribe to it completely though. On the debate of 'must we tolerate the intolerant' I categorically state NO) But if the GOP had an OUNCE of decency amongst the lot of them, they would not be able to so vocally support the ideals of the Revolution (and especially the 2nd amendment), while accepting the support of those that stand for everything the Founding Fathers rebelled against!

Public Education: (pk/ K - 12) has become all about "Dont leave anyone behind", which in practice Translates to: Everyone will be only as smart as the dumbest kid in the room. That needs to stop. We need to address reality: About half of people are twice as smart as the other half. Thats just a fucking fact, and it hurts us to not recognize it. instead we should lean INTO it.

If anyone is a narcissist, Bill Maher would be among them. Note how sarcastic he is to his guest who should basically tell him where to take his opinion and put them.

He attacks McAuliffe for suggesting Trump voters are racists and when many many times he's called them dumb and stupid.

@ubon11 Except everyone who will vote for Trump in the future is a racist, because nobody can claim ignorance in the face of all the stuff he's done and said while in office. That excuse could be used before 2016, with a big "maybe" (given everything that was known about him by then). I mean... everyone here in Europe was laughing their asses off at his racist birtherism and other racists supporting that. Can't tell me voting for him is endorsing exactly that, thus being a racist by proxy.

[@ubon11]

Karlthegreat84 I don’t want to rehash the whole birtherism thing, and I know there is no definitive proof that he wasn’t born in Hawaii. I also have a somewhat favorable opinion of Obama. I think he was a decent president. But I also think there may be some truth that he was actually born in Kenya. There were some issues with his mom’s passport and there are also issues with his social security number. None of that makes any real difference to me as to my opinion about Obama. But when Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Trump both state he wasn’t born in the US, I don’t think they are 100% wrong.
