How about we stop even referring to the guy? He adds nothing but mishegoss to the discussion, and all we do is feel bad afterwards, which is the apparent goal.

There were not a few people on MTS seriously hammering the then-current Democratic Party for slavery and Jim Crow, basically during the Obama years.

I wasn’t sure they were going to start coming for us so soon. This is serious ****.

I acknowledge that the key to winning any argument is to first train yourself to believe your position, even if you didn’t going in, but man, so can’t have convinced herself of this one, can she? Can she really be that empty a vessel? She’s young enough to survive to experience the truth-and-reconciliation phase, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see her defense would be she was cast under some spell so didn’t know what she was doing or saying.
