Cannons were loaded. Lasers were energized. Slingshots were pulled. Paper airplanes scribbled with insults were flung.

Facebook feeds would never be the same. Forty years from now, people will talk about the six-million who perished in the Defriendocaust. We're at the political forefront of a new kind of warfare. It's time to fight all this name-calling with even more name-calling! Vilify the voters! Polarize the politics! Marginalize the moderates!

We had a public health policy meeting last night in which the speakers discussed how local clinics should prepare for the predicted gradual erosion of the ACA and the loss of health coverage for 600,000 people in my state.

People who think the effects of a Trump presidency are all hyperbole just aren't reality-based.

Many of the effects of casual racism -- the most common kind of racism, in which white folks aren't maliciously racist, just passively, uncaringly racist vis a vis being willing to vote for a platform based in racist hyperbole to get what they want -- will take the form of continuing to turn a blind eye to racial profiling and inequities in police violence. Programs that tend to benefit minorities will be cut, and white people won't notice so they will continue to claim that racism in the US isn't a problem.

We will gradually make our way toward the economic environment of the 1980's, which will make a lot of wealthier people very happy, and a lot of poorer people very unhappy. Lending will increase, interest rates will increase, spending will increase, the economy will be very flush, and a lot of people won't be able to make ends meet. Abortion will decrease, crime will increase.

I don't think that a Trump presidency will lead to civil war or the collapse of the union. I think that Trump really really wants to make America great again, and for him, greatness was the Reagan era. He'll set us back 30 years, is all, and roll back environmental protections that were inadequate anyway.

It's a shame the speaker in the video wasn't saying exactly this instead of shouting "KKK" over and over again.

Anyway, I'm too busy going to fuck myself to really respond, other than that it's nice to see some actual discussion again. Thanks for sharing.

Just curious did they talk about the effects of any of his proposed health care policies or just getting rid of ACA?
