No, and no. Political content has and will continue to be "challenged" as it always has. Trump's election didn't suddenly embolden white America to fight back against MTV or whiny college kids with Youtube accounts. And the left's attacks on Trump and his constituency will not be what gets him re-elected. If that does happen, it's because the economy is doing well and he didn't do anything to overshadow that. None of this is new-- there's just a lot more of it thanks to social media and 24/7 news. People agonize or celebrate anytime we get a new President. Or did we all miss the agonizing and celebrating over Bush and Obama when they made it to the White House? Did we not just go through eight years of this, that we suddenly feel as if we've entered a new era? Didn't we have a guy posting here about how Obama was the antichrist and that we'd see the end of the world before his term was up?
Well... we've still got about a month for that to come true, I guess. Hang on to your hats, true believers!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
