@JohnCleese It seems that people don't even watch the videos they repost. He says that people are fanning the flames of hatred against British Muslims by telling them they need to leave, and that Brits need to get ready to fight against Muslims.

Do people actually prefer biblical translations that aren’t the King James Version?

@FredEhle @CryptoBrak @chrisstlmo @SidKhurana3607 He posts stats about cities across the US everyday. People enjoy reading these various stats. They're not "flexes", he's just providing info abt different things. I find them interesting, and I think others do, too.

@ElJefeTwoloom @JonahDispatch Voter turnout fluctuates up and down. 2020 was the highest turnout since 1968. The country has grown over time. Multiply these things together and you get a bigger number in 2020.

Democrat votes in the Presidential election: 2016: 65.9 million 2020: 81.3 million 2024: 75.0 million Republicans: 2016: 63.0 million 2020: 74.2 million 2024: 77.3 million A normal progression for Democrats would have been 70.5 million Until someone explains the pattern for Dems, the questions will continue, no matter how much you want to kneel and service Democrats

I get being annoyed when Elizabeth Warren (who I find insufferable) or other Democrats play gotcha by asking “Do you believe Donald Trump lost in 2020?” You know what would have spared Republicans the embarrassment and annoyance of these questions? If Trump hasn’t lied about winning and hadn’t tried to steal the election.

@sfmcguire79 It doesn't seem that conservatives are particularly well represented in mathematics, philosophy, economics, physics, chemistry, etc... either, though.

NEW: Oregon QB coach Koa Ka’ai evaluates recruits with a simple question: “Chocolate or vanilla ice cream?” Any hesitation… and coach doesn’t want him. “If you pause on ice cream,” Ka’ai says, “what are you going to do on 3rd down in front of 110,000 fans?” 😳

@avidseries I don't post stuff, but I read things here, and the amount of news/analysis that I can get now is significantly lower quality and surrounded by mess to a much greater degree.

@ScottWRasmussen @RichardHanania That doesn't seem right based on the charts here. Whites w/ BAs are voting abt 55% Democratic compared to postgrads at abt 68%. Whites w/o college degrees are at abt 33-35%, so college grads are closer to postgrads than to those w/o.

@RichardHanania The biggest gap in American politics is between postgrads and everybody else. On most issues-- and in voting patterns-- people with a bachelors degree are closer to the views of people with no degree than they are to postgrads.

In 1980, 34% of whites with advanced degrees supported the Democratic presidential candidate. By 2020, it doubled to 68%. Meanwhile, Republicans are now cleaning up with high school drop outs.

@KC7181 @RepMarkPocan Yes, but that wouldn't allow my wife to vote. She took my name, so it no longer matches her birth certificate. She'd need to apply for a passport to be able to register.

There seems to be some confusion about the SAVE America Act. If it becomes law, you will NOT be able to vote with your drivers license alone. You’d need: 1. A passport, which more than half of Americans don’t have and costs at least $130 OR 2. A birth certificate PLUS your photo ID with matching names, which nearly 70 million married women lack OR 3. Military services papers (not a military ID alone) with sensitive info. I’m voting NO.

@CheeseForEvery1 Republicans have been calling Democrats "commies" for my whole life, too. Attacks on Republicans prior to Trump were not out-of-line with pre-Trump norms nor mudslinging faced by either side.

It’s not an excuse for Trump. It’s a (partial) explanation. I can’t tell you how many Republicans in my own life have lamented how Bush/McCain/Romney never “fought back.” Or how many said “Oh, they call every Republican an evil Nazi.” Parables are cliche, but they have wisdom
Edward Feser@FeserEdward

Democrats have peddled vile smears like this against Republicans for decades. A major reason many mainstream Republicans opted for a bully like Trump is precisely because they were sick of it and decided to hit back. Democrats helped create the toxic political culture we inhabit.
