It's because she is actually mentally ill. Her father clarified that she used to spend her days in a deep depression because she is on the spectrum and overdoes climate fatalism.
Her parents allowed her to be a public voice on climate at a young age because it was therepeutic for her and kept her from wallowing in despair doing nothing behind a closed door in her room.
All of which makes Thunberg the perfect poster child for the Left to idolize. And if someone doesn't think that's weird, well....then Martin & Hogg offers a nice set of 'artisanal' boots that are perfect for you.
After fully demonstrating anarchy-tyranny in 2020, in which we saw democrats cheering arson riots while arresting soccer moms for taking their kids to the beach, we now see democrats embracing a 24 year old gun control activist as their #2 guy.
This after America has had a clear demonstration that violent people can run riot and when you call the police about someone breaking into your house you won’t get a timely response because antifa is burning down all the strip malls in town. I’m not sure Americans want to hear right now that democrats are just itching to take their guns away. During the 2020 riots there were lines out the door at sporting goods stores, and people weren’t shopping for footballs.
Fortunately we won't be entrusting anything important to him, unlike Germany that made her their chancellor of energy security, starting the Ukraine war.
Both are individuals whose opinion is no more significant than that of millions of other young people, yet the media and leftist leaders put them and keep them on a pedestal as if we must bow down and worship them.
David Hogg is not a Parkland shooting "survivor" because he was at least a quarter mile away in another building at the time of the crime. It's as if I were near a fatal traffic accident at a distance of 400 yards and around a blind curve, then claimed that I was "involved in a bad wreck." His entire narrative is built on a lie, but the MSM doesn't question it. He's a little man who saw an opportunity "to be somebody." The scam appears to be working.
For that matter, all of us are Parkland survivors. In addition, I have been in two supermarkets that were later shot up by some crazy so I survived that too.
One of my drunk relatives that I had gotten in a fight with, shot at me with a 45 from only about 10 yards away and missed! Lol. Glad you survived too.
David parlayed his 15 minutes of fame into a Harvard degree, a failed My Pillow competitor company, and now a gig with the DNC. I don't hate him because he knows how to play the game of Democrat politics, I hate him because he's a disingenuous fraud.
Just about everyone sees through his charades by now. I'm just content with watching the DNC go up in the ashes of their own identity-based, racist, classist fire.
I was in a grocery store with my daughter--7 years old at the time--when it was being robbed at gun point by 2 men. The cops screamed at me to "Hit the floor!" Who knew that I was a survivor of an armed robbery.
It would be hilarious if you just went "AWWWWSHUDDDDUPPPPP!!!!!!!" and kept shopping as if nothing was happening, then later on snuck behind the guy, took his gun, and ran away bantering "can't catch me! Can't catch me!"
Hogg is a crisis actor and pathological attention whore. IOW, a perfect fit for the Democrats. And a near guarantee that our next President will be named J.D. Vance.
Great post, Sasha. I've been watching a lot of the confirmation hearings and it is very telling: The dem-comms are practically shaking with anger (warren and schiff actually are). I think the reason is, once the uncovering of the corruption and how they have been able to feather their nests stands a chance of actually happening--there will be no way they can 'katy-bar the door'... The floodgates will open, whistleblowers whistling and they will turn on each other, viciously... Look at how Bernie's eyes practically popped out of his rant-filled head when RFK Jr threatened to expose how all the pharma $$ have found their way into certain politicos coffers... This is a dog-fight, to be sure. And it will, with justification, end some careers...
I'm shakin n' quakin' after watching that... But seriously--it is amazing watching Team Trump upsetting numerous big govt apple carts. The had a good thing going (for admin state anyway): easy hours, work from home, massive benefits and on and on... But now--apples ALL over the place and it is just going to increase... No wonder they're shaking...
Trump was just the first person willing to pick up the face up cards on the table and play them. And he paid a significant price and was inches from being killed, and months from being bankrupted and put in prison for life for playing those cards. Nobody else dared and we see why. Not Rand, not Jeb, not the postmans son, not even Ted.
This is indeed extremely powerful, and obvious, but the Democrats still don't seem to have a clue. You would think Trump having more minority votes than any Republican candidate ever would be a massive wake up call, but here we are.
the fear & loathing that founded the demoncrat party, determined to protect enslavement at all costs, has never changed. election fraud has kept them in the sphere, allowing a psychopathic psyop of how much abuse women would tolerate; forced masking, injections, men in their locker rooms,. sports arenas, prisons, illegals raping, murdering them, etc. Funny to watch funding for the commie drama events unfold, but it's over for them politically if Trump can end election fraud.
Say what you must about RMN, but the VN war ended on his watch.
All people, including presidents have flaws....some, like Biden, more pronounced than others. Trump's flaws are well known because we have the benefit of 2016-2020. He may go down in history as one of the great ones.
The same is happening to the UK just now, it’s as if our so called prime minister has taken a page out of Biden’s playbook…. We’ve got at least 4 years of this mayhem to suffer but one thing is for sure, they’ll be gone at the next election….
Given that Demarxism took the last one in the shorts, we'll have at least one more real national election without the full Eric Holder cheat code.
We NEVER want to fully federalize elections. Never. That's precisely what the Progressives' long game desires.
What we DO need in America is a federal minimum standard of election operations that must be met by ANY state wishing to submit their results for certification for a federal seat - House, Senate, or POTUS. Still under state control in our Constitutional Republic. The difference matters greatly.
If state level Democrats want to spam out ballots to dead people and moved-aways, or indulge in absurd "ballot-curing" operations like California, they should be free to disenfranchise those foolish enough to have elevated them to power. People get the government that they deserve.
The 'permanent change' comes after the prosecution phase, and I suspect that will happen shortly after key people are in place. The evidence was collected in DJT's first term.
Without actual justice, nothing changes. So if we do not see prosecutions, then all the lunacy will simply return with the next WEF/Davos psychopath puppet government.
What a blessing, to have won the House in '22, so Comer, Jordan, et al could at least take Committee primacy and gather the data ahead of this barely unified government.
As for scam, a lot of them apparently are working with USAID (if you haven’t kept up the last few days, go on X and look up @mikebenzcyber and @datarepublican (small r) and you’ll understand). But even for those who aren’t up to their eyeballs in that money grift, I think it’s just ego and power. They have too much of the first and can’t give up the last.
Without question, many of the Senators do. If you'll recall, when Joe dialed up the Biden Crime Syndicate as VP by adding the "running wide-open" Hunter Operation to Uncle Jimmy's long-standing grifting program, history tells us that Mitt Romney's and John Kerry's sons could not flee Burisma in Ukraine fast enough. McConnell, Pelosi, etc all have globetrotter bagman family members "playing office" overseas. Like for insider trading at home, Congress writes law and Congress likes grift, so Congress seldom limits Congresspersons' financial opportunities
Most of Tulsi's "Ukraine bio-labs" were real, but I'd expect that we leaked a few extra pretend bio-lab sites or other disinfo to Putin in order to get some server farms and document storage under a Russian artillery barrage. Don't forget CrowdStrike there, too.
More than simply hoping Russia "punches itself out", watching that "special military operation" develop on the border for months and letting war come to the Ukraine was also a clean-up operation.
That's why we call it the Congressional Nursing Home. Politicians on both sides don't want to leave because they make so much money off the American taxpayer, lobbyists, insider trading, money laundering (ie/ foreign "aid")!
Just please don't talk about federal "term limits!" until we can tear down the Citizens' United verdict by "re-casting" 14A.
The Order of Operations in a controlled demolition matters bigly. We can't have "permanent DC" running an endless stream of Congressional newbies. Look at how much more effective Trump 47 is than Trump 45 was, after some time to reflect upon being punked by DC in his first go-round.
I feel like they are evil to the core and they'll never change...NEVER and I'm grateful for that!
They can't recognize that the reason they lost id that the country isn't buying , and never will, what they're selling so get a new product or go broke and they are in the process of going broke. And they deserve if for all the heartache they put us through with the economy, the border, the DSI and discrimination and it's all gone and they know it...no more electric everything and threatening people that push back against I'm doing this to you because I love you and you need it.
Gratefully, you're not my mother and Donald Trump, I believe, is the one person, fearless to the bone, that could have saved us. Thank you Sasha for all of your brilliance and optimism. You saved me in my darkest hours and wrote some of the best colunms I have ever read.
It's not that the Dems went too far is a few directions. it's that they went too far in every direction. Too far with identity politics, which turned out to be just racism in it's newest form. Too far with gender, Alphabet LBTQetc. Which just put the fringe sociological segments in the foreground with too much power. Too far with crazy spending. Too far with open borders, which would have soon destroyed the country. Too far with globalism, which encouraged putting almost all manufacturing offshore. Too far in using the federal government as a political tool. Too far in censorship in a country founded on free speech. Too far in turning education into indoctrination, which will be the hardest to recover.
The four students weren't shot at Kent State by the police, but by the Ohio National Guard —undertrained, inexperienced, incompetently led, and largely from the rural underclass— probably not delighted that their intellectual, moral, and material superiors were running amok, with the burnt-out ROTC building still smoldering on their arrival on campus that morning. Another under-discussed factor is that the weapons the guardsmen carried were 1940s-era Garand rifles, which didn't allow the vastly safer alternative of leaving no round chambered once the clip was inserted and the bolt released.
If you insert the mag in a more modern weapon and release the bolt you have just chambered a round. You have to do it the other way around. Plus the safety of a Garand is inside the trigger guard. It is a stretch though to call Kent State students an element of the ruling class. More like the upwardly mobile part of the same rural underclass that the Guard was from. It's roots are a state teacher's college though it has grown and added many programs over the years as is common for universities and is now classified as a research university. Much of this development seems to have happened after 1970. It is classified as selective which means it "only" admits 87% of the applicants.
Yes, generally so but some more modern weapons (and even much older ones, e.g., the 1903 Springfield rifle, IIRC) have a safety feature that permits bolt closure over a full magazine without chambering a round. My main point was that as infantry grunt in "Eye Corps" VN (1968-69), only the "point man" leading a column would carry an M16 with a chambered round, as it was otherwise generally regarded as too dangerous. Also, the psychological factor, say, of racking a shotgun's action would telegraph that the situation was about to get potentially much uglier. Not an option with the Garand.
I'm quite sure that of the four "KIAs", two were registered Kent State students. Yes, the left activist perps who precipitated the catastrophe were generally not enrolled full time students there or anywhere. Soon after the KSU ROTC building was set on fire at nightfall, the administration specifically requested the Ohio governor to deploy the ONG on campus ASAP.
Thank you! Another detail is that, if my memory serves me, Nixon himself authorized the Guard to shoot live rounds at the protesters. One of the consequences of this event is that some local law enforcement people opposed the idea of bringing the National Guard into the 2020 riots in Portland. They told me that the National Guard is still not well trained in riot control.
"their intellectual, moral, and material superiors"
Perhaps you'll trip over a bit self-awareness today, but you seem pretty comfortable with your pomposity. I'm sure it will take more than my efforts, though, Mr. Potkin.
I'm wondering if i'm the only one that heard about the FBI informant Terry Norman, who was the only armed person at the shooting other than the guardsmen. They claim to this day that they were shot at first.
Superior in insight than former political expert James Carville, whose "it's the economy, stupid" explanation of why the DEMs lost is myopic.
When it comes to society, how can you know where your going if you don't know where you've been? You hit the bullseye and Carville missed.
* There was a war machine, and hippies "make love, not war" was the right protest, as well as taking over offices of presidents of universities, and fleeing to Canada.
* A person was oppressed not because of who they were, but because of their color.
* The Manson murders left a psychological scar similar to what millennials endured after 9/11.
Acid and acid rock, as well as other drugs, mixed with the music of protests (such as a current movie portrays) and the military-industrial complex struggled to find enough soldiers to perpetuate a conflict that they didn't want to win (the money is in the selling of weapons of war).
* Nixon goes down with Watergate.
Where did it all go wrong?
Brief example, then the explanation.
* My high school was almost 3,000 students, 50% white, 50% black (almost no Hispanics or Asian families with kids living in the neighbourhoods for the high school).
* Athletes, of which I was one, were the dominant cohort.
* We had High School All-State and All-American athletes.
* Everybody got along and race was not an issue.
* About 10 years later, the city was considered one of the most dangerous (I won't name the city or the HS).
* It was blacks and their drug gangs.
* Almost none of the athletes from my day ever go back to the city. The fact that some of the athletes were black has nothing to do with the blacks who have turned the city into a dump.
We were the generation raised on the myth that if kids are not indoctrinated into prejudice, then they will not grow up prejudiced.
We believed this, which was more a Democratic platform than Republican.
It was a false idol.
Former Harvard University President Claudine Gay should have been removed from that office, but her field of research out of Stanford University was cutting edge.
* Descriptive Representation (DR)
** Get used to DR. The Bell curve is exogenous to society, and there are very few at the far right. But everyone wants to be special, so they form clubs or cliches or prejudices.
*** What DR reveals is that by their teenage years, people will form cohorts and they want to be in charge of others.
*** Blacks will want to rule over whites and Hispanics, because they want to be in charge.
*** Hispanics will want to rule over whites and blacks...
*** Jews will want to rule over whites, blacks, Middle-Easterners and Hispanics
*** Muslims or Islamics or some other religious order will want to rule over Jews, Christians, etc.
Whether a person likes Trump or not, demographic profiles of the US reveal that he is the only candidate even trying to be a representative of the majority.
DEMs have the strange belief that adding up the minorities will give them a majority, but that is a coalition held together with baling wire and sealing wax.
The issues of being judged just by color of skin are not true.
The DEMs are full of predatory minorities, hiding behind some false prophet, so that Christians of EU descent, who founded and defended the USA, are the sheep and it was the minority factions of the DEMs that became the wolves in sheep's clothing
*** The minority factions do not want a democratic republic, where the majority elects representatives to act as the majority expects.
The minority factions each want their faction to rule.
That picture of Carville in full coon-ass mode wearing a "USMC" baseball hat inspired me to google up his CV. Yes he was marine at the height of the VN experience, but was never deployed outside of California; much less seeing any actual wartime combat
David Hogg is the second most annoying person in the Western world. The first is Greta Thunberg.
she reminds me if the Shining for some reason.
How dare you!
It's because she is actually mentally ill. Her father clarified that she used to spend her days in a deep depression because she is on the spectrum and overdoes climate fatalism.
Her parents allowed her to be a public voice on climate at a young age because it was therepeutic for her and kept her from wallowing in despair doing nothing behind a closed door in her room.
I’m quite sure they are all the wealthier for it, as well, coincidentally.
Well at least he saved the world from child labor first.
All of which makes Thunberg the perfect poster child for the Left to idolize. And if someone doesn't think that's weird, well....then Martin & Hogg offers a nice set of 'artisanal' boots that are perfect for you.
And those boots are made for walking
And that's just what they'll do
And if we let them, those boots are gonna walk all over you, and me, and everyone!
Martin & Hogg artisanal vegan-friendly, cruelty-free pleather boots.
Holy cow, that’s so sad.
Yeah, I'm sure that why. /sarc
She's the twins. Come play with us and live forever.
. . . and ever, and ever. Lol.
That should be her new career: acting in Stephen King movies.
More like the girl in the well from The Ring.
After fully demonstrating anarchy-tyranny in 2020, in which we saw democrats cheering arson riots while arresting soccer moms for taking their kids to the beach, we now see democrats embracing a 24 year old gun control activist as their #2 guy.

I’m not sure Americans want to hear right now that democrats are just itching to take their guns away. During the 2020 riots there were lines out the door at sporting goods stores, and people weren’t shopping for footballs.
Fortunately we won't be entrusting anything important to him, unlike Germany that made her their chancellor of energy security, starting the Ukraine war.
David Hogg is an incompetent fool. Please make him the face of the Demoncat party and let him talk a lot!
Both are individuals whose opinion is no more significant than that of millions of other young people, yet the media and leftist leaders put them and keep them on a pedestal as if we must bow down and worship them.
Positive Energy Hogg.
David Hogg is not a Parkland shooting "survivor" because he was at least a quarter mile away in another building at the time of the crime. It's as if I were near a fatal traffic accident at a distance of 400 yards and around a blind curve, then claimed that I was "involved in a bad wreck." His entire narrative is built on a lie, but the MSM doesn't question it. He's a little man who saw an opportunity "to be somebody." The scam appears to be working.
For that matter, all of us are Parkland survivors. In addition, I have been in two supermarkets that were later shot up by some crazy so I survived that too.
One of my drunk relatives that I had gotten in a fight with, shot at me with a 45 from only about 10 yards away and missed! Lol. Glad you survived too.
I think 45's were not known for their accuracy, but if it did hit you it would be like a truck.
Yea! I got a head start because I was downstairs and when I heard the clip click in I ran like hell out the front door and down the porch.
So you were a moving target, probably the best plan.
In the 1300’s the Chinese called them “hand cannons”. You can see them at the Firearms museum in Cody, Wyoming, inside the Buffalo Bill Museum.
We almost lost you, Libertarian!
More than once, bro!
If Liawatha can be Native American I guess he can be a shooting survivor. “Never let a crisis go to waste”…..
David parlayed his 15 minutes of fame into a Harvard degree, a failed My Pillow competitor company, and now a gig with the DNC. I don't hate him because he knows how to play the game of Democrat politics, I hate him because he's a disingenuous fraud.
Just about everyone sees through his charades by now. I'm just content with watching the DNC go up in the ashes of their own identity-based, racist, classist fire.
Well at least the degree's worth something.
I was in a grocery store with my daughter--7 years old at the time--when it was being robbed at gun point by 2 men. The cops screamed at me to "Hit the floor!" Who knew that I was a survivor of an armed robbery.

Darwin was wrong. See David Hogg.
Darwin was wrong. See Genesis Chapter 1. God created the universe and everything in it in 6 days. And then he rested.
The guy has a head shaped like a Yield sign.
Yes but he looks good on camera!
Hmm...like Gavin, like Pete, like Kamala...all empty suits.
I died in the Parkland shooting.
Hogg is a crisis actor and pathological attention whore. IOW, a perfect fit for the Democrats. And a near guarantee that our next President will be named J.D. Vance.
Hogg🐽at Parkland shooting sounds like AOC in the Capitol on Jan 6th - far away opportunism.
Hogg fits right in to the Dem party.
Protest Survivor Stormed Beach at Normandy.
Hogg farm to table.

Trump is NOT the issue…..THEY are the issue. Such a powerful point Ms Stone.
Trump was just the first person willing to pick up the face up cards on the table and play them.

Camera Hogg. Good luck trying to keep that asshoe out of view.
Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, David Hogg
Slow, steady progress it seems. Imagine where they'll be in 200 years
A flatworm.
well, they didnt pick the dud light twink so at least they have that going for them.
They're holding him for a future Cabinet position.
As what? Secretary of Wimpiness? He'd be great at that!
He's in Hogg heaven.
Yes.
the fear & loathing that founded the demoncrat party, determined to protect enslavement at all costs, has never changed. election fraud has kept them in the sphere, allowing a psychopathic psyop of how much abuse women would tolerate; forced masking, injections, men in their locker rooms,. sports arenas, prisons, illegals raping, murdering them, etc. Funny to watch funding for the commie drama events unfold, but it's over for them politically if Trump can end election fraud.
Instead of "tin soldiers and Nixon coming" it's now "Elon Musk and Trump coming"
We have the better deal.
try to relax
It'll be fine. I would have preferred Ron DeSantis, but this will be good for America. You'll see.
Say what you must about RMN, but the VN war ended on his watch.
All people, including presidents have flaws....some, like Biden, more pronounced than others. Trump's flaws are well known because we have the benefit of 2016-2020. He may go down in history as one of the great ones.
The same is happening to the UK just now, it’s as if our so called prime minister has taken a page out of Biden’s playbook…. We’ve got at least 4 years of this mayhem to suffer but one thing is for sure, they’ll be gone at the next election….

What a blessing, to have won the House in '22, so Comer, Jordan, et al could at least take Committee primacy and gather the data ahead of this barely unified government.
But, Biden already pardoned all the guilty people. Public awareness won't have much impact.
The old people like McConnell need to retire.
McConnell? That makes me wonder: Do all these "old dogs" in Congress have a scam on the side like Biden and his family?
As for scam, a lot of them apparently are working with USAID (if you haven’t kept up the last few days, go on X and look up @mikebenzcyber and @datarepublican (small r) and you’ll understand). But even for those who aren’t up to their eyeballs in that money grift, I think it’s just ego and power. They have too much of the first and can’t give up the last.

I wonder if any congressional pages have disappeared...
He does look rather reptilian...
How about a visit to the gravel pit...
Loved your podcast. Thanks to Megyn Kelly for introducing you.
Sasha,
I feel like they are evil to the core and they'll never change...NEVER and I'm grateful for that!
They can't recognize that the reason they lost id that the country isn't buying , and never will, what they're selling so get a new product or go broke and they are in the process of going broke.

Fearless to the bone has a real ring to it. And I totally agree.
It's not that the Dems went too far is a few directions. it's that they went too far in every direction. Too far with identity politics, which turned out to be just racism in it's newest form. Too far with gender, Alphabet LBTQetc. Which just put the fringe sociological segments in the foreground with too much power. Too far with crazy spending.

Too far in using the federal government as a political tool. Too far in censorship in a country founded on free speech. Too far in turning education into indoctrination, which will be the hardest to recover.
They didn't lie about Biden's age, they lied about his severe cognitive decline.
...and continue to think it was no big deal, and sweep it under the rug. None of my Dem friends want to talk about it at all.
The four students weren't shot at Kent State by the police, but by the Ohio National Guard —undertrained, inexperienced, incompetently led, and largely from the rural underclass— probably not delighted that their intellectual, moral, and material superiors were running amok, with the burnt-out ROTC building still smoldering on their arrival on campus that morning.

“”Their intellectual superiors”? What a fatuous comment.
indeed
We can't marginalize irretrievable academia quickly enough, in what remains of our culture. These people.....
Please look up the word “satire”…please.
What does “fatuous" mean in the instant case?
You do get that the "superiors" bit was at minimum ironic, and maybe across the line into hyperbole?
If you insert the mag in a more modern weapon and release the bolt you have just chambered a round. You have to do it the other way around. Plus the safety of a Garand is inside the trigger guard. It is a stretch though to call Kent State students an element of the ruling class. More like the upwardly mobile part of the same rural underclass that the Guard was from.

Much of this development seems to have happened after 1970. It is classified as selective which means it "only" admits 87% of the applicants.
Yes, generally so but some more modern weapons (and even much older ones, e.g., the 1903 Springfield rifle, IIRC) have a safety feature that permits bolt closure over a full magazine without chambering a round. My main point was that as infantry grunt in "Eye Corps" VN (1968-69), only the "point man" leading a column would carry an M16 with a chambered round, as it was otherwise generally regarded as too dangerous. Also, the psychological factor, say, of racking a shotgun's action would telegraph that the situation was about to get potentially much uglier. Not an option with the Garand.
Yes, the Springfield 1903 worked like that. Carried one for years in school, got real familiar with it.
1. They were not students.
2. IF the Admin. at Kent State had not had their heads stuck up their asses (much like College Administrators today) This would not have happened.
I'm quite sure that of the four "KIAs", two were registered Kent State students. Yes, the left activist perps who precipitated the catastrophe were generally not enrolled full time students there or anywhere. Soon after the KSU ROTC building was set on fire at nightfall, the administration specifically requested the Ohio governor to deploy the ONG on campus ASAP.
Thank you! Another detail is that, if my memory serves me, Nixon himself authorized the Guard to shoot live rounds at the protesters. One of the consequences of this event is that some local law enforcement people opposed the idea of bringing the National Guard into the 2020 riots in Portland. They told me that the National Guard is still not well trained in riot control.
"..largely from the rural underclass" that saved the planet in WWII. Nice. Thanks for sharing your unfounded pseudo-superiority with the rest of us.
That shooting took place because travelling Demarxist rabble-rousers baited a shooting. Too bad they didn't take the bullets instead.
Tell me, Daddy, what you did in the war! Are you always such a dense and insulting jerk, Mr. Heiser, or was this a special case?
"their intellectual, moral, and material superiors"
Perhaps you'll trip over a bit self-awareness today, but you seem pretty comfortable with your pomposity. I'm sure it will take more than my efforts, though, Mr. Potkin.
I'm interpreting it as an ironic or satirical statement. He could have made it clearer if it was.
I'm wondering if i'm the only one that heard about the FBI informant Terry Norman, who was the only armed person at the shooting other than the guardsmen. They claim to this day that they were shot at first.
projection noted, unsurprisingly
Sasha, excellent discussion.
Superior in insight than former political expert James Carville, whose "it's the economy, stupid" explanation of why the DEMs lost is myopic.
When it comes to society, how can you know where your going if you don't know where you've been? You hit the bullseye and Carville missed.
* There was a war machine, and hippies "make love, not war" was the right protest, as well as taking over offices of presidents of universities, and fleeing to Canada.
* A person was oppressed not because of who they were, but because of their color.
* The Manson murders left a psychological scar similar to what millennials endured after 9/11.
Acid and acid rock, as well as other drugs, mixed with the music of protests (such as a current movie portrays) and the military-industrial complex struggled to find enough soldiers to perpetuate a conflict that they didn't want to win (the money is in the selling of weapons of war).
* Nixon goes down with Watergate.
Where did it all go wrong?
Brief example, then the explanation.
* My high school was almost 3,000 students, 50% white, 50% black (almost no Hispanics or Asian families with kids living in the neighbourhoods for the high school).
* Athletes, of which I was one, were the dominant cohort.
* We had High School All-State and All-American athletes.
* Everybody got along and race was not an issue.
* About 10 years later, the city was considered one of the most dangerous (I won't name the city or the HS).
* It was blacks and their drug gangs.
* Almost none of the athletes from my day ever go back to the city. The fact that some of the athletes were black has nothing to do with the blacks who have turned the city into a dump.
We were the generation raised on the myth that if kids are not indoctrinated into prejudice, then they will not grow up prejudiced.
We believed this, which was more a Democratic platform than Republican.
It was a false idol.
Former Harvard University President Claudine Gay should have been removed from that office, but her field of research out of Stanford University was cutting edge.
* Descriptive Representation (DR)
** Get used to DR. The Bell curve is exogenous to society, and there are very few at the far right. But everyone wants to be special, so they form clubs or cliches or prejudices.
*** What DR reveals is that by their teenage years, people will form cohorts and they want to be in charge of others.
*** Blacks will want to rule over whites and Hispanics, because they want to be in charge.
*** Hispanics will want to rule over whites and blacks...
*** Jews will want to rule over whites, blacks, Middle-Easterners and Hispanics
*** Muslims or Islamics or some other religious order will want to rule over Jews, Christians, etc.
Whether a person likes Trump or not, demographic profiles of the US reveal that he is the only candidate even trying to be a representative of the majority.
DEMs have the strange belief that adding up the minorities will give them a majority, but that is a coalition held together with baling wire and sealing wax.
The issues of being judged just by color of skin are not true.
The DEMs are full of predatory minorities, hiding behind some false prophet, so that Christians of EU descent, who founded and defended the USA, are the sheep and it was the minority factions of the DEMs that became the wolves in sheep's clothing
*** The minority factions do not want a democratic republic, where the majority elects representatives to act as the majority expects.
The minority factions each want their faction to rule.
That picture of Carville in full coon-ass mode wearing a "USMC" baseball hat inspired me to google up his CV. Yes he was marine at the height of the VN experience, but was never deployed outside of California; much less seeing any actual wartime combat
Did they have him working Camp Pendleton?
Now we need the Conservatives in Britain to un-crazy themselves.
Free Tommy Robinson for a start.
