Oh, so this is why conservatives are saying Obama's a racist. How dare he not say that America is post-racial :qq:

I saw the link to the episode but I have to ask, was there ever a post somewhere of collected tears leading to/after the 2008 or 2012 election?

I search every now and then and I can't stumble upon the right keywords.

2012 election schadenfreude thread (you'll need archives, though).

And man, @YesYoureRacist is working overtime, and I guess I can add "people who unironically say the race card" to the list of things I know not to take seriously.

Economics is where misanthropic autists flee to get a second chance at advancing their terrible opinions, by attempting to mathematically justify their abhorrent worldviews and gently caress as many people as possible. If not for economics departments and Congress, there would be no such thing as a mainstream conservative. Not counting think tanks because they're fake economics departments.

And then they go to Wall Street and whinge about how much taxes they have to pay and how the rest of us will turn Republican when we have to start paying taxes? :shepicide:

I also love it when Republicans point to the Civil War as a means to show that liberals/dems are the real racists and that they the republicans are the true party of minority rights because some guy they would have today run out of the country ended slavery. As if both parties are the exact same way they were 150 years ago.

The concept of shifting ideology is, ironically, probably an alien concept to all the Dixiecrats claiming Abe Lincoln was a conservative.

Sarah Cupp is ostensibly an atheist but spends a lot of airtime bemoaning American atheists and talking about how much netter Christians are. So that's part of the reason conservatives like her.

Edit: Also when S. E. Cupp is said aloud it sounds like A C Cup which is amusing to people with juvenile senses of humour

Didn't she write some dumb book about "Liberal Christianity or how Americans are losing their religion" or something?

I've got mostly liberal or moderate friends. It comes from the profession I'm in, although one of my best friends is far enough to the right of center that we tend to avoid politics mostly. Plenty other things to talk about, anyway.

But the guys in my band are another story. They're all good guys, in the sense that they're decent folks, family guys, nice people. They're all right of me (not hard at all). But it's the bass player who mystifies me. The guy is far right.

How far? Well, we practice until fairly late at night, and when I'm driving home, I turn on (sometimes) Levin just to hear what the guy's latest bit of insanity is. As it turns out, the bassist also listens to Levin on the way home, but he does so because he agrees with him.

He's a full-on Rush listener, too. Don't know about Hannity or Savage (the latter might be a little too unhinged for him).

I don't know how that works. He's a good guy, I like him, and he knows where I stand enough (and has enough respect for me) that he keeps the political bullshit to a minimum. I have a real difficulty reconciling that with his political views. They almost seem flat-out contradictory.

You guys know people like that? My experience with the far right is pretty limited.

My mom's side of the family (that I know of, since her extended family is gigantic) that actually cares about politics is very right-wing in the super-religious sense, or the FYGM sense, or both. One of my great-uncles is an honest-to-god birther and literally thinks Obama is a Kenyan Muslim who came to make America socialist, and my parents don't allow me to argue with him because "I have to learn to respect other people's beliefs." Another uncle I have in San Marino (home of the Bircher Society in SoCal) also thinks Obama will turn the country communist and bitches about welfare and "lazy people" all the time. A lot of the older generation of her family (as in, in their 70s-80s) are also really racist against black people. Though when I think about it, a lot of the older Chinese-Americans I know in my neighborhood are registered Republican (from memory working the polls my senior year in high school). Probably has to do with growing up during the Cold War and internalizing the propaganda.

I personally don't argue with them, since to some extent I'm scared of the real life repercussions of being someone with a strong opinion.

I'm having a debate with someone who was complaining that progressives are responsible for NSA's spying, drones etc.

When I pointed out the obvious flaws with this, he countered that he means the progressive "movement" has nothing to do with political parties and that progressives exist in both parties. I asked him for clarification on what his definition of progressives are, but haven't gotten a response.

Is this some "all GOP is RINOs" craziness, or just some strange new right-wing spin? Has anyone ran into this viewpoint before?

I've seen crazy comments on other forums and news comments saying that "Bush was a progressive" and in the leadup to 2010 some nutter was saying "We are Taxed Enough Already and our main priority is to kick these progressive Republicans and progressive Democrats out of office."

Progressives are like some sort of omnipresent enemy to them.
