Oh, and Trump has just given the medal of freedom to Jim Jordan. A man, who turned a blind eye to young men getting sexually assaulted. Drain that swamp.

I saw someone else on twitter say that we aren’t seeing the end of American democracy; we are seeing the conflict that arises when a country *becomes* a democracy. Now, will they make it through to the other side - that’s the question.

Well, it was hardly a bloody secret was it! I hope people in the UK and other places, now see why BLM are asking for the US Police, in their current state, to be defunded and completely overhauled.

everywhere on the news it seems to be : "the police underestimated the attack" "The police were simply unprepared" It's absolute horseshit: the police knew, many wanted it to happen, and were fully complicit in it. This wasn't a case a cultural bias or subconscious racism.

Nail on the head. This by far is the most worrying thing about this whole debacle. 75 million people watched the car crash of the last 5 years, and thought 'yep, this is fine'. IHe really didn't lose many of the traditional republican voters, which showed you just how stupid the democrats were...

I was talking about traditional female role like nursing and teaching that get paid horribly, in part due to a society that traditionally see's these as secondary roles to the 'breadwinning' male roles. You mention that women don't go for high level senior positions, do you think that's...

Why do you think that traditionally women's roles pay less?

I'll start with education, seeing that I studied it, and I taught for 10 years - In Primary schools the classroom is nearly always set up for boys (consciously and subconsciously) for example the space for boys to play is nearly always in the middle of the room and takes up a lot a of space...

No worries, I also don't think I made my point particularly well!

How does the high rate of suicide in men, prove that we don't live in a patriarchal society? In fact, I think that it's exactly this reason, that adds to the high rate. Unless you're making another point that I'm not getting?

I'm not saying that, in fact I completely agree with you on this point. I believe that even though things are changing we still live in a patriarchal society. One of the reasons that more men are committing suicide, and the other points you mentioned is that, men feel that despite having these...

Both things can be true. The fact that more men commit suicide doesn't negate the fact that we live in a patriarchal society.

And you know me from my less than 200 posts?

I agree with some of this but I have to take issue with your conjecture that young men are told that they're worthless. We live in a patriarchal society where men have it easier than women. In fact the entire apparatus of western society is set up for white men to succeed. hashtags like...

She is just taking a calculated risk, if she nails her colours to Trump's mast, and Trump goes down/ and the republicans disown him (both likely) then her career is over as a Political pundit. By doing what she is, she takes a short term hit (but gains clicks from disgruntled Trumpers) but is...

I think people forget that the Republican party had been moving to the far right, long before Trump came along. The tea party movement started this, and those people are still around. All that will happen is that the Republicans will try and pretend that Trump didn't happen but continue with...

Genuine question: What did you find interesting? It should come as no surprise that the rats are leaving a sinking ship. She managed to get a few good dog whistles in there too, for good measure.

I'll give this one a go, if you don't mind: "I think it will annoy this SJW if i compare them to Trump, and have absolutely no facts or examples to back up my claim"

You responded to me with a very similar line. The similarities between Brexit and Trump not only comes from the fact that both movements managed to attract disenfranchised voters, in the US the Midwest rust belt ex steel mill/ coal miners etc. In the UK, the old industrial north. Both movements...

I'm seeing a lot of Tory supporters trying to convince themselves that what is happening in America could never happen here, or that the Right wing of US politics is different to the right wing of UK politics. You're deluding yourselves, so many Tory politicians and people like Farage have used...
