Both sides have excellent points, yet the truth is surely found somewhere in the middle. /s

Reminder that rich kids and parents in sports are the ones taking away opportunities from the other kids. Not trans kids.
Imagine having a political system where there are only two choices and thinking you live in the land of the free
This is not something a conservative would balk at.
Conservatives literally believe that everything is going fine. American capitalism is great it's just that there's a few stray branches (like the entire lgbtq community and immigrants for two examples) that we have to snip off and then we'll finally realize the true American dream.
I don't know what world you've been looking at, but they absolutely balk any time you dare attempt to hold one of them accountable... Just look at how they reacted to the Jan 6 prosecutions, and those weren't even their Dear Leaders (politicians).
I donβt think they were talking about conservatives balking at being held accountable, which, to be sure, is endemic to their nature; but rather that conservatives donβt balk at the murder, sedition, treason, and insurrection (among countless other atrocities and war crimes they frequently commit) that their side gleefully and happily uses to achieve its own agenda.
Yep. They all drive around town in their $80k lifted rams, suburban nightmare cardboard mcmansions, 4 kids all in sports. All love Donny dump. Theyre all DEEPLY in debt and/or have a shit ton of assistance from their rich parents, but think they did it all on their own. This is my town.
Jacob Geller has a video essay on the Nuremberg Trials. I always figured they're the gold standard of war criminal trials, but the reality isn't as clear. It didn't see any high ranking Nazi officials see justice, it didn't sway public opinion on the war or fascism, it didn't prevent genocides from happening again. It did make Allied powers look like the good guys though, even if a few months prior the USA dropped two nuclear bombs on civilian populations indiscriminately killing hundreds of thousands.
FYI Jacob Geller just got cancelled for raping his ex girlfriend in college
I vote Democrat because it's slightly less fucked up than the alternative. We are not the same.
This is the weakest argument ever. She lists three crimes against the government while the Republicans commit genocide, and Nuremberging has very little support among Democratic politicians.
How was Nuremberg 1 in 2020 I must have missed it.
