What we can criticize him on is the point of "ew I don't want to think about you of all people fucking"

Don't forget the racism. The NRA's perfectly fine with throwing away gun rights if it means making sure only white people are armed. For example, even as Harlon Carter was ramping up his crusade to turn the NRA from a sportsman's organization into the gun lobby, the NRA still supported the Mulford Act, because at least that was taking guns away from those damn ni- I mean, "violent extremists". They were dead silent when a legal, responsible gun owner like Philando Castile was killed. They never said anything when the textbook definition of a "good guy with a gun", Emantic Bradford, was killed. And we all know damn well why.

The Harlon Carter school of gun rights comes with a major caveat present in many strains of conservatism: no restrictions as long as you're part of the right group.

I will say this though, the issue is still pretty complicated, because basically both sides have some history of racism (gun control first started as ways to assuage fears of black uprisings, plus the aforementioned Mulford Act), but then, what part of American society isn't in some way permeated by our racist history?

I still don't know how he keeps winning even as the county gets bluer and bluer

They were. And I still tipped the amount the pancakes would have been

I once waited 3.5 hours for free pancakes at IHOP. I had a shit week and just wanted some free pancakes, but they accidentally crossed my name out before even seating me, so I saw multiple groups arrive after, eat, and leave before my dumbass thought "maybe I should say something."

Also, my phone was dead for the last 2 hours of that.

She has to be trying to pander to the "No Labels" crowd, because I'm pretty sure they're the only ones left who like her. The GOP are now in decade 3 of their smear campaign against her, and Democrats just want her to go the fuck away after fumbling 2016 away.

Simple reason: the base is rabid for Trump, and Trump is extremely vindictive. Cross him, and your grasp on power is gone. Cozy up to him, and you get just a bit more power, which is all these ghouls care about.

95% of them don't believe in anything except whatever gets them ahead.

Palaces like Versailles and Sanssouci get millions of visitors every year without a group of racists and pedophiles around and actively in power to give it some greater meaning.

At the same time, I see why they'd doubt this, given it sounds similar to the rash of articles about stores closing in cities because of "out-of-control crime" before the midterms, only for the real reasons like corporate reorganization or unionbusting to trickle out later.

Why did we have to fight a war to stop people from owning people of a different race?

I love the actual product, but loathe the attempts at feigning some sort of progressivism that always manages to put on blast the fact that its founder was a center-right Spanish politician.

Also, Hazel Southwell is literally right there.
