For the first time in a very long time, an article I agree with 100%

that is a good read -
Yes, it nails it. A white kid living in abject poverty, his father disappeared before he was born. His mother never went past the 6th grade and they lived on a subsistence farm near Lurton AR. (Look it up on Google).
Life was hard, hand me down or hand sewed clothes and 1 pair of shoes a year if the kid was lucky. Then comes along a step father who worked for the U.S Forest Service scaling timber. After a few months, the step dad was injured at work and was disabled for 6 months. No workman?s compensation, no free medical benefits, no ?commodities? for 6 months, (none would have been accepted anyway).
Bottom line, the kid went to 8 different schools from first grade to high school. He did not give up and went on to college, working 44 hours a week and taking an average of 15 semester hours of classes. There was no college loans, or scholarships, just hard work.
The kid graduated from college and got married, had 2 kids, was never unemployed and after 33 years retired.
How did this dumb, country jackass pull this off? it was his WHITENESS at work.

A thought piece from someone who makes their living mining the blue/red "divide" for clicks.
Art I don't think they hate you as much as you imagine they do, but I could be wrong.
The guy leads with a vaccine quote, calling it "undiplomatic". That sets the tone for what follows, which is a litany of ways blue hurts red feelings. That catches my eye if only for the reason that it wasn't so long ago that red folks laughed openly about blue folks and their feelings, as in the old phrase "bleeding-heart liberals".
Among ordinary people, I'll stick to my diagnosis: Liberalism has a softness problem, and Conservatism has a stupidity problem. The side that fixes their issues first wins the coming age. Among elites, clever folks are always trying to flip the script. But if I were you guys I wouldn't take the cheese offered here, and start having hurt feelings about how mean the liberals are. I don't think that's going to lead you to a better place.

word salad?Comment

Word salad with vinegar, and apparently did not see Kamala and Joe celebrating January 6, 2021 this morning. That should go a long way toward uniting the country.Comment

About the "word salad."
While I will admit "dumb a$$ness" can be a problem of the right, softness is not a problem of the left.
You don't have to "clicks" much to find material that show the absolute contempt for for any individual or group who isn't sufficiently "correct." You don't have to look far either to find attempts, often successful, to punish them. Your own disdain for these people as a group, especially southerners is, IMHO, only thinly veiled.
The only black folks a white person (Quintin Tarrentino excluded) can call someone a n_____ with impunity and without consequences is a black conservative or libertarian and they do, regularly. Condoleeza Rice has said that she and just about every other Black person who doesn't toe the line is the recipient of a torrent of the most vile racist and (in her case sexist) slime on social media imaginable.
A typical comment by these folks, caused by Joe Manchin's intransigence, is Bette Midler's statement on West Virginia's supposed illiteracy (it's literacy rate is actually a good bit higher than either New York or California's.) Its a steady drumbeat.
The ability of the Left and its multitude of inquisitions to punish and/or intimidate into silence has become truly spectacular. At Penn University, which like most lefty institutions has a hierarchy of "oppression," or perhaps Hierarchy "The Oppressed" is a better term; a biological man who was a swimmer on the men's team two years ago took a years worth of androgen inhibitors and is now competing as a woman. I've heard this guy interviewed and he looks like a dude, and sounds like a dude because he's a dude. Sorry folks. He's also turning in times equivalent to his times when he was swimming as a man and absolutely blowing away his female competition including a 500 meter race in which he lapped the field, in fact he lapped most of the field twice. Well why don't the gals complain?? Actually they do on the down low and have considered protests like false starting en masse but they haven't followed through because they're scared of the consequences of the dreaded "Transphobe" label with all the subsequent retaliation that includes. The Trans bunch are considered to be more oppressed than the gals so screw the gals, besides they're all white.
I suppose I could write a book full of related incidents but those books are out there if anyone cares to read them.Comment

let us break down your word salad
no more than those lovely articles you post from The Slate, The Atlantic or that bastion of clear thinking,, The Vox??
won't speak for Art, but in reading his post, you are
Art I don't think they hate you as much as you imagine they do, but I could be wrong.
see comments above,,,

you are clearly out of touch with the liberals as well

Great example in the local bird cage liner. Dem writes a letter urging Dems to register as Ind and vote in the GOP primary for a career state legislator to unseat our Congress critter Lauren Boebert. Nowhere is the idea expressed of finding out what voters in CO-3rd want and giving us a candidate who runs on that platform.
Because the 'Rats don't want to hear anything they don't agree with.Comment
