I thought the “White Lives Matter” shirt was appropriate in the context of a political commentator and a mainstream agitator trying to make an edgy point. Worse things have happened. On it’s merits, it certainly made me stop and think about the movement for a moment. If I were Candace Owens, and assuming I wasn’t an opportunistic slime-ball and actually believes in what I’m doing, would a political movement like Black Lives Matter inherently offend me? Is there a case to be made that by framing the discussion around police brutality as a “black lives” thing, do you undercut any real discussion on how to actually solve the issue? To me, at least, the shirt evoked these questions and my first thought was “Finally, Candace Owens does something interesting, Kanye West is one hell of a muse”. But I also understand the threads sentiments that trying to undercut a movement like this is inherently racist. So it’s hard to say.

Bill Maher listens to the alt-right propaganda and then assumes it’s true and then blames the Democrats for being so crazy. I’ve noticed this a few times in his monologues.

I can’t tell if the right is actually sick of wokeness, or just want to weaponize it to further hurt the Disney corporation. Maybe it’s a little of both, but either way I’m getting tired of everything becoming trench warfare against a battalion of dipshits. The truth is, as a secular progressive I show _enormous_ tolerance towards the Christian right and their backward lunacy. This tolerance is the problem, it’s given them the breathing room to dismantle things, and their stupidity has given them all the cover they needed as it’s hard to see these clowns as any kind of serious threat.

This is all becoming too much of a cross to bear, I think they hasten their own demise by not trying to co-exist and it’s set the stage for someone to set up and actually represent a silent majority here. Interested to see which celebrities and junior politicians try and take the mantle.

I think Democrats have to get real and start driving these idiots out of our politics. If you tolerate the fringe, it becomes mainstream. If the left seriously has the public on its side, then it’s time to show it.

I’m pretty sure history will find Rudy is guilty of treason, while Eminem is mostly guilty of making offensive music. Let’s keep Eminem around and prosecute Rudy and his friends.
