I wasn’t able to dig into the details of who participated in this poll. Focusing on political party affiliation didn’t make parsing “Men Are In Trouble” in that headline any easier. Still, we can find plenty of time to shift the focus back to them after resolving the issues they’ve created for the rest of us, right? Lemme just put that on the priority list…
I wish they’d stop calling it “culture wars”. It’s the Republican War on Culture.
Charlie Kirk - the head of the conservative Turning Points USA (TPUSA) - briefly attended- but did not graduate or get a certificate from community college.
Though both his parents were professionals with degrees.
the “culture wars” is becoming one of my most hated phrases. war on culture, like you say it’s better. or maybe just fascism.
( it’s not partisanship either. it’s republican intransigence )
“Three weeks ago, if we would’ve said that Joy Reid, and Michelle Obama, and Sheila Jackson Lee, and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would’ve been called the racist,” Kirk said Thursday on his talk show.
Well, partly true, but the affirmative action stand, of course, has nothing to do with it. You get called racists because you are racists. It’s realy that simple. No need to dress it up or qualify it in any way. I mean,
Meanwhile, Kirk’s nationwide organization of student Republicans, Turning Point USA, has revealed itself as a bastion for racists and extremists. A former national field director named Crystal Clanton, for instance, once texted a colleague: “I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. Like fuck them all.”
Yeah, not like, subtle or anything like that.
What a world we live in that Piers Morgan isn’t the biggest asshole in any room with him in it.
Shocking how often it happens, and he really is an asshole.
Idaho conservatives: ‘Religion is being attacked by the state and we must do all we can to stop it’
Also Idaho conservatives: bans students from wearing the rosary to school
In economics- that’s called the Greater Asshole Theory. You can still make money being an asshole if you can find a worse asshole to exploit.
TIL!
Thank you!
I just made it up. 
No takie backsies! It’s canon now!
My covert campaign to have it published begins now!

ISSN, anyone remember them?
In another, better, fully-automated luxury space communism timeline, that would be my international social security number; which is all I would need to draw my UBI with no hassle wherever I am, and entitles me to free education at any seat of learning I choose. Also one (1) free 2 week holiday at the moon base pleasure resort and spa per year, dammit.
In my version of fully automated luxury communism you don’t need a number to access food, accommodation, education, or culture because you are a person and it is yours already.

Moonbase holidays would be limited to those who really need them though.
They all go to the moon base spa and recuperation centre on the other side. Nobody needs to go to the moon base pleasure resort and spa (in fact the spa part is pretty small and mostly deserted), but it’s hella fun.
As a Californian, it’s enough that this frightens me. Imagine being a Floridian:
That’s certainly one way to get gen y & z’s attention
In the ad, a man reaches for a condom after a spicy makeout sesh with a woman, but an old man grabs it first. The couple freaks out, and the older man tells them, “I’m your Republican congressman. Now that we’re in charge, we’re banning birth control.” The woman insists it’s “our decision, not yours” and demands he “get out”—yet, the congressman responds that he “won the last election. I’m not going anywhere. I’m just gonna watch and make sure you don’t do anything illegal.” The ad ends with the words “Keep Republicans out of your bedroom. Vote no on Aug. 8,” displayed on the screen.
