teach your daughter whatever the fuck you want to teach her, the problem isn’t you teaching your kids your wrong-ass opinion, it’s that you insist your right to teach it to your kids make it NOT a wrong-ass opinion. It’s still super incorrect, but you’re allowed to lie to your kids, if it’s what you really want. Just don’t pretend that’s science.
People like this love playing up the martyrdom complex, really gunning for that 'woe is me' and 'I've been silenced' play, despite it not being true. And the audience eats it up because they feel like they, too, would get silenced if they were in the same situation. They scream about the first amendment, except they don't know what that is or does. And they think everyone's been brainwashed to not accept their shitty takes by the left, which really riles them up.
ya morbid curiously got me and the wife to check out what music/performance happened, and it was all this kind of crap. I've been country since I was born, it's easy. This guys song is "When I'm a bigot, people hurt my feelings" Just a generic PoS, which is why he has available for the show.
"the war on country music"...when i was young country music was all "take me home, country roads", now its all political all of a sudden, what happened, brubrubrubrubruh!

"If I teach my daughter to hate Trans people, ppl will respond with outrage about my hate, but ill still have the only ppl who listen to my garbage anyways so nothing really changes for me"
Why is Jon Stewart not President Jon Stewart? I mean, they did it in Ukraine. They elected a guy who made his name by being a comedian, who also happens to be extremely intelligent, world-wise, observant, outspoken, and capable of empathy.
"Why can't WE have that?" <= because the idiots who won the civil war allowed for the literal enemies that have tried to overthrow the nation, serve in the very government that they fought against.
That, and an apathetic voting base, that let the nation go to absolute shit, before giving a fuck and voting themselves...
John Stewart's politics are on a surface level indistinguishable from Chuck Schumer's, though if anything Stewart is significantly more bipartisan/centrist than Chuck has ever been.
"But But I LIKE the funny TV man and I HATE the guy all my social media feeds tell me to hate! How can the funny TV man have objectively worse politics than the twitter 2 minutes hate guy?"
Jon Stewart is an entertainer and knows he is an entertainer. He probably doesn't want to deal with the ugly wheeling and dealing of Washington. The only reason the other dude is up there is because he did not have the same type of self-awareness.
what I want to know is why we don't have more Jon Stewarts, in a world where...I was gonna say where the Trumps go all the way down, but really, while that is true, I meant that if Trump died at 6 pm today, we'd have an even worse replacement by 6:01 pm.
As much as I would love that, he has repeatedly said he has no interest in that office. Which is unfortunate, because that's part of what makes him *perfect* to be president
Actually recently he answered an audience question asking him if he will run. He did not say no, he just joked at how bad things are getting that people want a comedian to be president. Also even in this episode, if you watch the interview, he is asked again and laughs and goes into asking his own question. Again, not saying No. So there is a chance.
The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
Ah, but America did elect a popular entertainer that exhibits all of our closely held values! Racism, abuse, and pageantry! And then 42 years later we elected another one who was a joke, too! I think after Nixon and Trump, we really need to learn our fucking lesson about pushing for entertainers to lead us.

Yeah a reluctant leader is one good way to at least hinder corruption
CrabbyBlueberry
See also Aragorn
eetsumkaus
this reasoning works both ways. A reluctant leader may be more incentivized to corruption because they have no other reason to stay in the leadership.
jalcantara88127001
I guess the reluctance needs to be rooted in not wanting money and power. If they want money and power but not the job, then yes really corruptable
