We could send the bigots to the timeout corner to make macaroni necklaces, far away from anyone they might want to hurt. Plus, we'd get macaroni necklaces out of it. Bonus!
I mean, the other way to do it is to hold them down and let the other kid just savage the shit out of them until they realize it's not a good idea for people to do that....but I figure it;d be harder to get people onboard with option b.
Yea, well I don't think that is possible right now. Unfortunately the orange child won using distractions and even prior to his winning the GOP went ape shit over a black guy being president.
I agree the GOP needs a nap. So does the 1% at the top. But outside that, evolution will always unfortunately produce lust for power, be it political or economic.
It would be WONDERFUL if we could simply wrap 45 on the nose with a newspaper or give him some warm milk so he takes a nap, but not now. I don't see that working right now.
The last politician whom used his position to sell nationalism and used scapegoating as a political tactic caused the deaths of 50 million humans on all sides not to mention the deaths of 6 million Jews.
And I am tired of those saying "that cant happen here". No, it can't not overnight, but the only way it does not happen is the sane constantly counter it.
Pluralism is never maintained by silence.
