Fresh Start Political Thread

Very interesting Article on political prejudice that I stumbled across. It was published over2 years ago but still seems to be spot on. It's long but worth the read.

".....In general, the most politically intolerant Americans, according to the analysis, tend to be whiter, more highly educated, older, more urban, and more partisan themselves. This finding aligns in some ways with previous research by the University of Pennsylvania professor Diana Mutz, who has found that white, highly educated people are relatively isolated from political diversity........
.......
Partisan prejudice is different from other forms of prejudice. It is not yet embedded in all of our institutions, the way racism has been. But the evidence shows that it distorts our thinking, just like other kinds of prejudice. ......
......
partisan prejudice now includes a bunch of other prejudices, all wrapped up into one tangled mess. “Americans are really divided, but not in terms of policy; they’re divided in terms of identity,” Mason says. “And the more identities come into play, the more salient they are, the harder it will be to agree, even if policy positions shift.......”

My brothers? Hey fuck you moob, that’s a pretty fucked up accusation

You know you got a Governor who is dressed like the klan or in black face in his yearbook and his nickname in his collage year book is a racial slur?

Sit down

Any other news on today in Charlottesville in relation to tiki torch guys? Bunch of va Democrats dressed as white supremacist who work for Democrats and Terry mac?

Let me clarify - not your brothers in the sense that you support their cause.

But you are brothers in the sense that you and these people align with the belief that God-Emporer Trump is the last hope to "save" this country.

Let me try to create the analogy better. If you were in 1940's Germany and even though you don't hate Jews or minorities - you like Hitler's economic policies so you support his government despite all the other fucked up shit he did.

Thought you were referring to Charlottesville.

Over the last five years we have seen actual Trump supporters / neo nazis/ from Charlottesville to the Capitol building and a million stops in between.

You wait for some story about a handful of alleged dems that pose as these guys, and make the statement “So yeah the Dems were dressing like neo nazis trying to drive racial division. Par for the course.”

You realize how short sighted that is right? I mean after EVERYTHING you have seen the neo nazi right do over the last few years (think about that for a second) you are going to pounce on this particular incident as “par for the course”? Cus there are others?

You are like that football player that does a sack dance when his team is losing 56-3. Lol

I like the alternate theory:

Chico prefers to call anti-Trump Republicans "Democrats" - you're either on Team Trump or you're not a conservative.

Someone posted a pitcure online of G1 grocery shopping this morning.



LOL

G1 - If I had an image in my mind of what you look like it would be similar to this. Embrace it. That guy has big nuts for wearing that in public.

I think it’s the shirt in Giants colors that does it.

Not a cult. (https://i.redd.it/6h1p3vu25tw71.jpg)

The folks who dress up as nazis were members of the young Democrats group directly connected to Terry.

That’s just fine with you

As is the current Democrats in office here who one is a rapist and Two other are black face wearing, dressing up as klansmen.

Biden making no sense as usual…sounds like a retard. He needs to be in a nursing home

You are the one search and watching neo nazi speeches…CNN gave this a moron platform with an interview several years ago to promote this sick people.

I thought the stunt was from the Lincoln Project?

Regardless the black face isn't a big deal to me - because while it is in poor taste (unless you're a cast member of Always Sunny doing Lethal Weapon 5 - and then it's hilarious) it's not enough to make me think the guy/s are unqualified for office.

The rapist thing - wasn't the lieutenant governor? I mean he could be guilty - or he could be innocent. Hard to tell. I guess we're all using the party line to decide whether or not to convict in the court of public opinion though.
