The elections will certainly happen, of course, barring something like nuclear war or the like. They're already happening.

Yes, but he doesn't actually have the power to stop elections, and saying he does could suppress the vote.

Okay. Well. I haven't given up yet. T doesn't have superpowers, and America is full of amazing people and has minority groups who have thrived in spite of every effort to erase them, so I'm just not inclined to write off America as dead yet

I was calling the picture gross, which it is. It is clearly antisemitic. You're a bigot. Bye.

Of course we're in a fight. This guy seems almost excited about it....

It'll be back. Not over yet. Country has always had these strains in it and has overcome them before. T has definitely exposed the underbelly, though.

I like her, but this photo...eh

Ugh

Just gross.

I keep trying to mute but then seeing something else. Now you're lecturing me about class consciousness. Just because I read the NYT. Whatever. Bye now.

Okay. I'm glad you don't think that. No leaps made here. I appreciate a good -faith answer!

I think this thread has become unedifying.

Not sure how you know what I teach. I teach creative writing. A lot of people are on their high horse in this thread. Enjoy the ride, I guess.

Wow. You sound unhappy. It seemed that you were the one being dramatic. It's not intellectual dishonesty. I explained what I was thinking when I wrote that. You seem highly offended by the NYT. I am not. This thread has gotten tiresome. Muting it now! 😀

Uh-hunh

Aw, you just can't quit me... I need to go now, though. Nice chatting.

All I did was indicate that a certain opinion sounded like a mindless rehashing of far-lefty cant. "Stenographer for the regime" strikes me as tired language. But God yes, it is depressing, certainly, to be a lonely warrior for truth in this fallen world. I will leave you to keep fighting it!

Yes, it is.

Could be. I didn't read this one yet. But not everything you disagree with is dangerous.

Your high self-regard is noted, dear.

Are you...are you really so bothered by my saying "Yawn" to someone....?

Touche, as it were.

Gosh, now you're offended as well....

They've published people in favor of trans rights; Jennifer Finney comes to mind. She is probably too tame for you or whatever

No. You?

Well, she would likely not be messing with the likes of you, that's for sure. 😆

If you're talking about trans rights, I wouldn't say they were campaigning against them, but I did see anti-trans opinions given a lot of space, you're right. But I've also read trans writers' pieces in there that were beautiful and opened people's eyes to what trans life is like.

Glad to have provided amusement

A wide spread, maybe--not a random one.

Oohh, I'm super embarrassed not to have properly impressed you.
