Four years of Bush bashing, four years of Obama hysteria from the right, and now four years of this.
It’s fucking exhausting.
Automation’s impact and the environment are what we should be discussing. They are urgent crises. A smart Republic would discuss those things as headline issues all day every day. Instead, we’re bleating about what the Idiot in Chief tweeted on the toilet. The only time we even come close to touching a serious environmental discussion, it’s about Pruitt’s affinity for first class travel.
We’re fucking fools. The pols lead around the media and the media leads us around. Pavlovian circle jerk, giving everyone the ability to vent while the real issues go unaddressed.
This shmuck feeds on eyeballs. Tune him out and whack him at the ballot box. And by that, I mean get out the vote at the street level. Because these virtue signallers on social media? They don’t vote. All they want to do is let you know how much they hate the bad guys. Most of the dumb fucks couldn’t even name four senators.

Are the environment and automation serious issues that are worthy of significant and prolonged discussion and debate? Of course. But if you are in a position where you never know if your son is going to be pulled over on a pretext (or maybe because he was smoking pot) and killed by the police (who will likely not face any severe consequences for having done so), or in a position where you might be confronted by someone who throws the president's words at you and tells that you are a rapist and an animal and should go back to your country (despite the fact that you are a U.S. citizen), or if you are in a position where you are growing up in a world where your president bragged about being able to sexually molest people of your gender because he had a power position over them, or in a position where your family was unable to join you in your country because of your religion, you might be excused for having more urgent issues that will ultimately prevent you from going to some cocktail party in the Philadelphia suburbs to listen to some arrogant know-it-all lecture you about what issues you should REALLY be interested in. I mean, those type of elitist cocktail party blowhards are enough to drive even those most moderate of liberals into the arms of the Maxine Waters of the world.
