Trump admin declared that Libraries and museums have no purpose except to brainwash the populace to serve the state. This is real Nazifascist stuff.

The new acting director says
“We will revitalize IMLS and restore focus on patriotism, ensuring we preserve our country’s core values, promote American exceptionalism and cultivate love of country in future generations.”

*Shrug* Better than promoting queer theory and anti-American groupthink.

Queer people exist. Anti-American group think-you mean learning history? Including the bad parts? Bc if you don’t, you are bound to repeat it. Oh wait…
Even if you thought that things had gone too far left—this is your solution?

The problem isn't teaching the bad parts. It's not teaching either the good parts or the broader context.

The problem we are having politically is that the "left" wants to only teach the bad parts. The "right" only wants to teach the good parts. And neither wants to teach the context.

That's why the swing vote keeps undulating back and forth.

Except the last election wasn’t about the “right” vs the “left”. It was EVIL vs GOOD.

The 2024 election shown that MAGA cultists were willing to vote for 1) EVIL in a lying white nationalist, sexist, racist, homophobic, Project 2025, Nazi traitor who already had his thugs destroy the Capital building while killing people.

MAGAs would never vote for 2) the moral, good candidate who happened to be a woman of color. I know plenty of black and Hispanic men voted for Trump. At least the Amish men told the truth when asked by reporters. “We don’t want a woman at the top position in government”. I will never buy Amish furniture again, but at least they were honest.

Some people were so sexist and racist they were willing to vote for the EVIL Orange Cheeto even if the Orange Cheeto does horrific, immoral, and illegal things….because they felt the bad stuff would only happen to the “others” they felt superior to.

And this right here is what really makes me hate the Democrats (or at least Dems like you) right now - the holier than though extremist attitude against anyone who doesn't agree with you. I mean grow up. Sure, I would love to see a female President and actually voted for Harris. But I would never "not" buy any Amish furniture again simply because of their personal/religious beliefs about women. That is ridiculous and people with that mentality are why the Democrats are going to continue to lose. Same thing with the Tesla cars....all the vandalism and protesting.

If the extremism on both sides continues I may actually vote 3rd party in the next election.

Exactly. Cis white males ARE NOT persecuted or at any disadvantage whatsoever.

But the perception is real. And denial of the perception based on valid experiences worse.

Yes. This is so crazy to me. My teenaged son writes and the scholastic awards just came out for our region (not dc but another major city) and he is the only while male winner of any kind (dozens and dozens of awards). It’s all white females and Asian males and females.

And to add…my kid is at a private school that is 50% white, with the rest of the kids being mostly Asian or black and this same kind of thing goes on in the school. Arts and academic competitions are across the board devoid of white males. This is NOT because white males aren’t being given these opportunities, it’s because they are all sports focused and not participating in academics or arts. It’s so bizarre our school keeps touting inclusion but, doesn’t see that all the activities are weirdly self segregated.

It sounds crazy to you because it’s just more lies. And you have no idea how many white boys even entered the contest.

Maybe they need some healthy competition. It wasn’t always Asians and girls- they used to sit on the sidelines and then they worked that much harder. Now let’s see if white makes will respond that way or rig the system to make it easier for them to win? Because they’re entitled!!

Oh, we already know how they’ll respond. They’ll erase women and PoC from websites, stop teaching their history, remove their books from libraries, push women back into the kitchen, deport immigrants, and defund the arts.

White men will burn the world down rather than do the hard work needed to compete fairly. We’re seeing that in action right now.

With my son, his friends and most every other boy i see in my Midwest town, it's STEM, STEM, STEM.
Most of the writing contests are entered by girls once you are past elementary (not trying to stereotype, just the way it seems now.)

Cute of you to think there’s going to be a next election.

Since our representatives in Washington are unresponsive and only accountable to wealthy donors, the only power the people have anymore is to vote with their wallets. Nobody is obligated to buy things from people who view them as second class citizens. I don’t hear you complaining about the Republicans canceling Carhartt and Ben & Jerry’s.

This is completely false. A quick glance at the magazine's website will show you that plenty of fiction published recently has been by white men, and a significant number of regular contributors and staff are white men.

Not following your logic here.

Yes you cannot get mad at the numerator if you do not know the denominator

You never voted Democrat a day in your life, be honest. I’m sure you boycotted BudLight and Target when they tried marketing to trans people but i guess that was ok because it was you doing it. And you still haven’t proven Democrats have done a thing to Teslas.

Stop being disingenuous and try telling the truth for a change.
