I heard this from adults in the Kansas town where I went to school: ā€œIā€™m not racist BUT you have to think about the children.ā€ Of course, the only people who cause problems for the children are racist people like them. That was 40 years ago. Sad to see things havenā€™t changed.

they are openly plotting how to steal the election because no one punished them last time and they have every expectation that no one will stop them this time either. it will work if democrats don't get much more serious about how to fight it and what that looks like.

Particularly interesting because the debate was on ABC, not CNN!

I can't speak for all American Jews, but for me at least, a presidential candidate saying there's Good Jews (ones who vote for him) and Bad Jews (ones who don't) and if he loses the election it was "rigged" and he'll blame Jews, is a lot more concerning than some college students denouncing Israel.

I was unaware my husband cared about football until we moved to Massachusetts, and now every game heā€™s glued to the TV wearing ridiculous Patriots gear. Iā€™d say itā€™s in the water, except I havenā€™t been infected.

As someone who studies authoritarianism, I can assure you that how popular an idea is matters little to those who do not respect the democratic process.
