To make great art requires empathy, understanding of history and culture, and an ability to see things from a different or unique perspective. Things right-wingers are incapable of.

I know how to write a check, what a pay phone is, and how to trick it into letting me call my mom for free.

It's behind a paywall. Can anyone share the locations?

Hopefully he'll get deported back to Ireland soon, and he can bring his wife with him. I'm sure it's much safer for them there.

Don't worry, that's not going to happen. Core Civic and GEO Group make more money warehousing them.

Exactly. These places actively bully anyone smarter than them - along with anyone who's LGBTQ - to run them off, then they get upset that "no one wants to stay."

The fact that that lying, ignorant, bigoted sack of s--t got elected TWICE should prove that basic civics should not be assumed.

We managed to do it without ICE for almost our entire history. ICE is barely old enough to drink.

Same. But we have a big Dem supporting African American population in Central and Eastern AR, and of course the college town Fayetteville.

Not really. We are more purple than people might realize. We've elected Democratic governors almost as often as Republicans. But the GOP engages in a LOT of voter suppression.

Investigative journalism is very expensive and has the potential to anger advertisers, so no.

I knew he was a James O'Keefe-style propagandist, but the sheer stupidity on display. I feel like *I* got dumber just listening to him!

Not only that, but he also wants to eliminate everyone who's not white, straight, cis, Christian. And to put women in "their place" (under the boot).

I keep hearing this. But the state has the power to deputize citizens, and I betcha there are enough people who would be willing to serve their state in that capacity.

But they could deputize and train armed citizens.

My state, Arkansas, just voluntarily handed over voter rolls. Barely made news coverage. He might not be able to nationalize the election, but the red state governors will for sure go along with whatever scheme he inflicts on us.

The centrists/independents that I've known usually hold a mix, usually right/libertarian monetary views, with more left/progressive social views. As the saying goes, Republicans who want to smoke pot (and have butt sex).
