Conservatives never post shit like this. Only liberals do because they have a nagging insecurity, don’t believe liberals can ever wield power legitimately and don’t believe liberal constituencies can legitimately govern without the blessing of the Volk.
A lefty lib posted this on Linkedln and how delusional can you possibly get. The MAGA side agrees to literally none of those boxes on the right side—except maybe if it was only for white people. Even that's a maybe.

This man won his primary by 30 points.
In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

if it took you 5 seconds of contemplation to think of an alternative you should take at least another 5-10 to at least consider the possibility that it at least crossed the minds of 1 or 2 of the people who dedicate their lives and research careers to dealing with the problems we post about on here

Antebellum politics is fascinating, the South kept getting policy concessions and whipped themselves up into a paranoid rage anyway, essentially because they couldn't stand being culturally judged for having slaves

This is what I need people to understand when they start grousing about "resist libs": these are people who hate ICE with their entire, folk-art-making, cornfed hearts. You cannot sit around and write people off as potential allies because you're not personally into their aesthetics.
Oh that’s not all, folks.
Antifa Waldo, beatifications of ICE martyrs, ICE agents slipping, and more—all from the likes of corn, barley, and alfalfa

We also know that AI is only helpful if you have the discipline specific skills and knowledge to understand when, how, and why the AI is giving you incorrect results. Therefore the most important thing we can do to prepare students to work with AI is double down on the fundamentals.

At the climax of the book of Job, God responds to a cogent and detailed argument from Job by screaming about how Job should shut the fuck up because he’s not the one who fought and defeated a sea monster. You must study the Bible to learn that people have always known what it’s like to post.

The Recurring Speed Camera Discourse is a bit exasperating really because, look, we all know what's actually happening is people just want to be able to commit the pertinent crimes and don't like being punished for it, but people come up with obvious post-hoc pseudo-woke rationalisations for this.

Approximately 74% - 80% of drivers ticketed by New York City's speed camera ticket do not receive a second one.
Speeding dropped by 94 percent reduction in locations where cameras were installed.

14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists.
Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!

Every conversation about bike lanes is like:
"Car crashes kill a huge number of people every day, including pedestrians, cyclists, & car occupants. Good bike infrastructure has been shown to make everyone safer (& doesn't increase congestion)."
"But sometimes cyclists break rules & hit people!"

Personally, I think what needs reckoning with is how fake it all was.
Centrists convinced themselves annoying leftists on twitter were an equivalent threat to Jan 6 insurrectionists. They wildly inflated the threat of left-wing authoritarianism while ignoring how it was taking hold on the right.

How come after a concert or sporting event or rush hour it’s not called a “car takeover”? Streets are for people
What started as a single viral post turned into two nights of scooter meetups across downtown Minneapolis, drawing hundreds of riders of all ages. Organizer Johan Vargas said the gatherings were about connection and fun.

Minneapolis Lime ‘takeover’ scoots people together as organizer defends gathering
What started as a single viral post turned into two nights of scooter meetups across downtown Minneapolis, drawing hundreds of riders of all ages. Organizer Johan Vargas said the gatherings were about connection and fun, though a portion of the crowd's move onto Interstate 35W drew a sharp rebuke from state troopers.
