What BS? Give concrete examples.

When my friends - white men that are socially left-of-center - say stuff like this, it's usually because they are upset about "cultural signalling" issues - i.e., the rise of minorities and women in the Democratic party. I have a lot of white, male friends who are socially liberal and are very bitter about white men losing power in the Democratic party. They feel "lost" but can't honestly articulate why they are feeling that way.

Like generally focusing on sending signals to everyone about how virtuous they are with their great ambitions to save everyone from some lack of privilege while letting jobs and money drain out of the county..



Like voting to spend Montgomery taxpayer funds for a defense fund for illegal/undocumented immigrants who are accused of crimes...

Like making stupid laws for every little thing, like having to ask permission from the county to even airbnb your house out while you're on vacation..


I don't think that there is anything wrong with the rise of women and minorities in the democratic party. I do think that on some social issues the left is outpacing me and I can't keep up with them, though.

That darn due process. Darn Constitution, too.

Of course, the day someone accuses you of.... stuff..... that should invalidate YOUR due process, I'm sure you'd be aghast.

"Far easier on taxes" = Maryland school rankings have dropped every year since Hogan was elected. And no, it's not due to "illegals"; it's due to his budget cuts to state education.

This is what Jealous will be hammering throughout the fall. And it's a winning strategy.

I am worried that the wealthy benefit from the idea of flooded cheap labor so that they can begin to depress wages for all of us not in the top 10% of workers. I am worried that another civil war will break out because of the media and both sides becoming increasing intolerant of each other, meanwhile China and Russia could potentially invade while we are fighting each other. I am worried that we are becoming so divided that we are falling apart. Many other Black people share this sentiment, we often discuss this among ourselves.

You tip your hand here, OP. The only people who talk about "racial agitators" are racists.

Plus this nice turn of phrase...

Their brillo-haired Congressman, Jamie Raskin, made it his first priority in office to try to arrange a coup to overthrow our democratically elected President.

...yes OP, we get it you don't like Jewish Democrats.

I’m sorry, but why do you have to wait? Aren’t you afraid your children will be indoctrinated in the liberal agenda in Montgomery County schools? Surely if it were that important you could move now!
