Well then every man and women is a misogynist based on that criteria. 

Yes and no.

Yes: people inherently have all kinds of biases.

Implicit bias means we're all probably at least a little bit racist

The difference is, that left wingers want to tackle that issue, and right wingers frequently celebrate it as an issue. 

But also no.

These are culturally driven issues, they aren't inherent to who we are as people. 

Plenty of women have biases against other women, absolutely.

Musk retweeted a sum up of the last few days. I'm feeling increasingly confident about this Givernment now that we are out of the media cycle spreading fear running up to the election. Let's see how he handles women's rights and obortion laws, I fully expect him to fight for pro choice. 

Lol at that video, this guy a clown (in the video)

"Terrorist Taliban announce they want peace to be taken off the terrorist list". Well of course, and I won't make it pass Trump to remove terrorists from the terrorist list so of course they will now try.

"Putin says western civilization is not an enemy" traduction: "Now that I have a fan of mine that has no shame in doing victim blaming installed as US president only the minimalistic "say what they want to hear" will be enough to get what I want" 

"Mexico is trying to discourage large migrant caravan..." define trying and large in that context. Anyway, they only have to claim they are, Remember when North Korea got Trump to stop joint military exercises with South Korea by doing absolutely nothing concrete but allowing Trump to claim he has "solved" things?

"NYC mayor will stop giving food voucher to illegal immigrant" Is not related to Trump and completely hides the fact that they will give illegal immigrants food directly after the voucher program ends. But yeah it sure is expected for trump fans to view removing food from hungry people's mouths as positive and Trump-related.

"Xi Jinping wants peaceful coexistence" traduction "Let me continue to strong-arm all my neighbors including Taiwan while you do nothing" With Trump his odds are sure to be better in this regard.

"Putin says he takes Trump's peace plan with Ukraine very seriously" Yeah of course since Trump's plans are nothing short of a total victory for Russia.

"Trump called for a terms limit for members of Congress so that people like Nancy Pelosi stop being forever members." Why not do the same for the Senate and prevent Mitch McConnell from being a forever member? Why not do the same for SC and prevent them from being unelected forever members? Congress members are all elected so people choose for themselves if they want a member to remain or leave.

Tribalism is not racism. We are inherently drawn to tribes and those tribes sometimes are defined by race but no, people who aren't racist aren't racist and if racism is defined by tribalism it looses all meaning as a word and real racism is diminished.

Start to think like that and you end up at critical race theory, a horribly racist, division causing load of nonsense. 



I have seen so many women film their meltdowns on X and Tik Tok, crying, shaving heads, saying no more sex for 4 years, threatining to kill Trump suppoters, even people who work in academia threatining to kill others, it's absolutely vile.

Just one example I found yesterday. This woman says she’s purchasing a gun so she can go shoot White men in the streets https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1854660577727037819

Social media elevates the crazies on all sides, because crazy and extreme makes for more views and so for more ad money, so the algorithms promote it. I don't deny these people exist, we just should stop taking them too seriously.

Tribalism is racism when you feel safe/unsafe around people based on their race.

Tribalism is racism when it is used to provide more/better opportunities to people based on their race

Yeah, the Democratic party needs to be cleaned out, starting today. It is bullshit that they played russian roulette with our futures here. 

Just glad they had enough awareness to give us what looks like a 220R-215D HoR (maybe even narrower) and 53R-47D Senate rather than what it could have been.

Yes, and Biden probably won in part because he had to defend himself against those 20-25 candidates and make a viable argument for himself. Biden was abandoned because he isn't popular. 

Maybe they should let the voters choose next time in advance, or like, every time for that matter.

Not going to get disagreement with me there. Glad popular primaries were validated in this election. There was talk about doing away with them by the center.

I'm not even joking. Trump is endangered. RFK is endangered. They simply are far too disruptive to the establishment and to big phrama, big food and big money. They need to be more subtle for their own safety. They need to tone it down man.

Eh? Peter Thiel is the one backing J.D, who is also a venture capitalist. Elon Musk is going to be in control of commerce regulation. 

Trump reconciled with big money by choosing J.D.  

Unless it is a ploy to get J.D Vance into power, I don't see it.

Do you still have access to the people in academia threatening murder? I would like to see it. 

Seen them shaving their heads, idk what it accomplishes. They aren't having sex anyway, very doubtful so bargaining with an empty wallet. It's wild how far the media pushes people and these echochambers people get into on the net dissolving their minds.

I am always impressed by people having a spontaneous meltdown, somehow have their camera/phone setup just right to record it.
