Delicious.
Suck on that Cox.
I saw this in my inbox and was like... What?!?
Bit better with context :D
That passage particularly stuck out to me as well, but it also made me ponder.
There are people who have been monstrously angry about stuff like this for their entire lives. They presumably see it as only right and proper that Donny stacks courts and gets rubber stamped approval for nearly all of his whims. I think his hate is enticing if you believe that he’ll destroy things you want destroyed.
A lot of people voted for the racism, and that’s sad. I’m starting to think this country kinda isn’t great again at all, and maybe never was.
I'm not from there but have been several times, including the best summer of my life. I think you're right that a lot of people are fuelled by that destructive urge given what we're seeing over the last while but the vast, vast majority of Americans I've come across were decent people.
I am from there, and I know a lot of great people. But county voting patterns clearly demonstrate vast differences in opinions, and they’re not evenly distributed.
I don’t mean to suggest that a majority of the population is overtly racist and that’s the only factor in our current predicament. I just think it’s larger than a lot of people expect.
Where have you visited?
Yeah I'd agree with all of that.
Been to California (San Diego, LA and SF), Nevada (Vegas really but I did go through death valley which was cool), New York, DC and Virginia so far so definitely more left leaning areas.
According to the article you posted, it was great on July 31, 1970.
Definitely a cup half full view.
pessimistic view
Another way to look at it is that we slowed down the orphan crushing machine that day.she's not a Judge, but reminds me of Kim Davis' situation
I had to refresh my memory on her but it's just as delicious...
