    Thank the dark lord that white people aren’t tribal. There’s a town in southern Oklahoma named “whiteright”. Could be northern Texas.

    Or it could have been named Whitewright after Mr. William Whitewright Jr., a New York investor, in 1878.

    Who hacked into Barry's account to make him look more ridiculous than usual? I blame Da Russians!

    You're missing the 'w" between the "e" and the "r". Come on, Bubba.

    I have a friend from Whitewright, Texas. He used to say, "I'm from Whitewright. And if it ain't white, it ain't right." The ironic thing - he was black.

    Maybe there are just dumbasses that have nothing to do with Trump. Dumbasses grow like weeds in small towns.

    Sounds like something said in jest. It’s 8% Black. It’s a small town. They have to learn to live together or it doesn’t work.

    If whites were tribal then you'd see an absolute landslide of victory on whichever side they choose. It's not even close to what you are implying. It's stunning to me that you said that. I actually figured you would. Do 90% or more of white people vote for one party? HELL NO. SMH.

    That's some counter-intuitivity to me... I thought right-wingers loved growth. I hear the local councils use ANY OBJECTION from environmentalists as an opportunity to bash them as "anti-growth."

    They're not "right wingers." They're idiots trying to get elected without actually learning what local government is or does.

    Again, I don't blame Trump. What they're trying to do is make Trump-style appeals to try to get elected to offices they know nothing about.

    Okay, distinction noted.

    I agree that overall the Democratic Party is more successful than the GOP is. However, a few points on that. First, their local candidates don't run on cultural issues everywhere. They do it in areas in which there's no Republican threat. They do it in San Francisco and Portland, not in Iowa or Indiana.

    Second, their ability to run on cultural issues in Democratic areas isn't a cause of their success. It's a product of it. The cause of their success is the built-in advantages they've constructed over the last century by taking over almost every institution that influences public opinion and culture. For the last several decades, we've encouraged our kids to go out and make money. They've encouraged their kids to "change the world." So our kids became bankers, engineers, accountants, physicians, etc. Nothing wrong with those professions, but they aren't very culturally influential. Their kids became college professors, teachers, and journalists, and the nuttier ones became entertainers. Those professions are culturally influential, and they've given Democrats and people generally of the Left a major advantage, and the more influential those professions are, the bigger the advantage.

    Finally, just becaue some Democrats in big cities have been electorally successful in running on cultural issues even when they're not relevant to the office sought that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do, and it doesn't mean it'll be successful for us. It's utlimately dishonest to the voters.

    How come mlb moved the all star game out of Georgia but the Masters was held there? Don't CBS and ESPN realize they are supporting vote suppression and racism by publicizing this shameful event?

    I am outraged. Outraged, I say!!!!!!

    It would be a bit-h moving those 300 acres the course is located on to San Francisco or Denver.

    another racist excuse; and from you, who is usually so reasonable. Moving dirt is not hard. And if they moved it to San Francisco the racists would probably dump it on some homeless people or divert it to Oakland.:bounce1:

    Until the Right learns to boycott, you're going to see this kind of thing happen. There's no downside for them. They get a ton of free, positive attention from the media and Democrats. Republican politicians might get a little upset, but their voters largely don't care - certainly not enough to cancel their Netflix and Amazon subscriptions.

    There won't be a boycott. Amazon itself has become indispensable to everyone. Netflix may get the most pushback. But now that corporations are socialist, I don't know what can be done. Maybe the government can write laws against it, but I don't think that will happen or work very well.

    If there were viable alternatives, then switching service would work. But what would keep the new companies from going woke too? These are dark days.

    This is true. These companies, and probably their biggest competitors, all have the same MO: wokeness. I can't just go live in a log cabin in the woods.

    The right never boycotts things? NFL??? Nike?

    Here's a few lists that are dated:

    I didn't say they never boycott. I said "unless they learn to boycott." There have been a few people here and there who have stopped patronizing certain businesses. To be effective, they'd need to do something much broader and much more sustained. If 500 Trump supporters cancel their Amazon accounts, nobody will care.

    Mr. Deez Beer Prophet

    Yep. I'll readily admit that I use Amazon quite a bit - both amazon.com and amazon.co.uk.

    I quit Amazon a few years ago when I read about their restraint of trade practices. No problem.
    They are indispensable to lazy people with no ethical concerns. Like people who shop at Walmart
