Wait until you see the homeschooled kids misread an atmosphere before elbowing their way into conversations with elitist dismissal as a way to fit in!

@Bat

something I've learned from living in Texas is people are way more leftist here than they even know, the current Democratic leadership just seems to do everything it can to look down on the common man
Yeah so keep voting for Hillary Clinton and her love for the people.

Not really no. I mean have you met me? I'm a belligerent abrasive boor who uses profanity as punctuation. I spent much of my early years as a conservative, spent much of my 20s as a moderate who tried staying away from political discussions after becoming disgusted with my former conservative politics, and only in the last few years have become a pretentious liberal blowhard. I'm not elph. I don't have a history of being called pretentious. I just recognize that right wing ideology in many ways is anti-learning as things like science and philosophy are a threat to traditionalist views.

I don't know about you, but I would have just like to have avoided all this
Yeah it's garbage and the people on "our side" are garbage and many of them are cowards who are too scared to call out xenophobia for what it is, but at some point this battle needs to be fought. I'm sad that the people fighting it "for us" should also be hung from street lights but hey Trump is showing his authoritarian credentials more than ever and... nothing will come of it so start polishing your bullets or whatever.

Autonomous robot struck and 'killed' by a self-driving Tesla in Las Vegas ahead of CES

First casualty in the great robot war of 2019.
