Just a public acknowledgement, but I am going to take some time away from social media. Like, 4 years, maybe. There will likely be a few posts when I write something (until I get that setting changed), but I won't be doing much reading & responding. Best for my mental health. Thx
@ZachWLambert Ignorance. It's why Plato was against democracy, as were most people throughout history. The ignorance of the masses. I'm going to reread "The Revolt of the Masses" by Ortega Y Gassett. He's probably right.
@DeconstrucTed80 Pfft. The deep state. They've been saying that about college professors for decades--we're all indoctrinating students. I can tell you from 25 years experience that the idea that professors are unified about ANYTHING is utter nonsense. We couldn't agree that the sky is blue.
So North Carolina went blue across the board except for president. Dem Governor, Dem Lt Governor, Dem school superintendent, Dem AG, and 2 dem reps. And Trump. Do I have that right?
We're a movement to restore the Republican Party to the ideals of great statesmen like Abraham Lincoln, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan.
If you share our ideals, please visit https://t.co/vWtkgGSdNH and take our pledge.
@antonio@davidaxelrod You know what? If you're willing to vote for a fascist, immoral sleazebag because the price of eggs went up, you should just fuck all the way off.
@DeconstrucTed80 We have allowed Carville's simple-minded statement "it's the economy, stupid" to become the motto of our country. If people are willing to throw away democracy because their Happy Meal is more expensive, then to hell with them. Selfish, immoral assholes.
@DeconstrucTed80 I was willing to cut some slack in 2016--Trump was not well known. This time, it's conscious and intentional. Brainwashed, maybe, but willingly so. If I could leave this country, I would.
