No matter how many Democratic candidates become president and clean up the unnecessary mess that Trump cursed us with, the paranoia will linger. The fact that a good chunk of Americans voted for him is scary on its own. We will never look at the average American the same again, especially when ICE agents lurk the streets. The famine, bloodshed, injustice, unrest, corruption, and more will have everyone looking around in paranoia, waiting for the other shoe to fall.

No one ever asks the question, "are conservatives actually good for society?" Well, I do. And I think they're not. I think they're just bad people. I don't think we need them. I think all of society would be better off without conservatives.

Conservatism is just a hate cult. They just hate everyone who isn't a clone of them. That might sound a little crass and reductionist, but is it wrong?

I think we have a real conservative problem in America and the rest of the world. No one is talking about the conservative problem. We need to start talking about the conservative problem. There is a conservative problem.

Homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, and hateful bigotry is not an "opinion" that people can hold. The intended outcome of bigotry is to hurt a bunch of people who have done nothing wrong.

We have to come to terms with the fact that conservatism is not good for society at large. In order to maintain a civil society, we have to stop tolerating conservative intolerance.

Is it Nature or Nurture?

Somewhere in the middle is probably best

Dr. Bronner’s implements an executive 5-to-1 salary cap, meaning top executives can never make more than 5 times the salary of their lowest-paid, fully vested employee. Any additional profits not used for business development or employee profit-sharing are donated to charities and activist causes.

The Ratio: The highest-paid executive’s salary (including bonuses, benefits, etc.) cannot exceed 5 for every 1 paid to the lowest-earning employee!

Dr. Bronner's 5-to-1 Salary Cap Explained: A 5-to-1 executive-to-worker pay ratio is a progressive compensation model designed to limit internal wealth gaps. Popularized by conscious-business pioneers like Dr. Bronner's and the historical structure of Ben & Jerry's, it caps the total cash and bonuses of the highest-paid executive to five times the earnings of the lowest-paid long-term employee.

As I scroll my phone, a "news article " often starts with the phrase: "According to Trump. "Trump thinks" "Trump likes/feels"...

Does anyone think he still has any credibility left.

Does he actually have the influence to still sell things or ideas. Obviously he does, he is the Potus. But seriously.

Well it isn't bad enough they try and sell off public lands and historical national park land but now they are messing with the section 106 laws so they can do more damage to historic places. You can be ISIS and destroy the history we see but its not gone from our minds and we will always talk about it.

What does everyone else think?
