The Political Thread 2021

Until they blow up your cell tower anyway!

Anyway, if the guy was literally a conspiracy theorist, it’s an even stranger choice for that tweet to cite as an example of big media shifting the blame to conspiracy theorists.

I worked for a research university up until a year and a half ago, and for every woke commie I know I know someone who’s there mostly to low key sexually harass coeds. Just feels like calling them out has just become another culture war scapegoat, like calling out “farmers” as if they were all just one thing.

“Terrorist” is usually used for people who have political motivations and he allegedly did, but again, you don’t hear much about it these days.

I think it depends on the university and what your role is there, but I experienced some of this when I was in college and that was a fairly small state school in NY, so I can only imagine what it must be like at an Ivy. Even at Vanderbilt where one of my friends works they get on some goofy BS there and things can get rough if you’re not one of “them.”

Terrorists only mission is to spread fear and terror. They use fear as their message and means to carry that message.

With Biden’s inauguration only a few days away let’s start remembering the friends we made, and the stuff they said, along the way:

So, how did that foreshadowing worked out?

GOP and Trump did all they could to derail the transition.

All of those seem like fetish porn searches…

I can’t be the only one thinking that right?

My brother just had to vote for that Trump fool, which further divided things between us, and still stand by him after the attack on the Capitol. He always was overconfident through the measure of his intelligence, even growing up with him, which is typical for a Trump supporter. That’s his decision, I guess.

Like with other relatives so far, I’ll lose my brother one day over something petty, which I’m ok with that. Family is overrated at this point and there is always someone out there that will unconditionally love me for me.

More or less what I experience(d) as well. The stereotypes basically go something like:
1: Social sciences and humanities tend to be liberal
2: Business and economics is conservative or Libertarian
3: Engineering and Computer sciences are libertarian or centrist
4: Biology and Chem runs liberal to center
5: Criminal justice, Political Science, and law school could be literally anything

Update:
60 Minutes interview from last week:

SMH…So many people guilty of brainwashing millions of Americans about Election fraud, are going to get slaps on the wrists instead of the full ride prison sentence for federal crimes!!
