CNN lost me for good when they said it would be illegal to read wikileaks, I had to trust them to report on it. I can rarely watch the five or Hannity on Fox, and local network news. My TV, when it's on, is usually on sports or Netflix/Prime
0< number of hate incidents/crimes > number reported
0 < number of racists/ misogynists /nazis/actual deplorables > number reported
Where on that spectrum, we'll have to disagree.
I've seen enough of war to know that protesting it usually is patriotic. Afghanistan was necessary, and good, until they turned it into nation building, then it was shit. Iraq was completely unnecessary the second time, and questionable the first. Panama was good. Grenada was good. Vietnam was shit, but you have to look at it through the bipolar world of the cold war to understand it. Everything before that, I only know from history books, and those are written by the victors.
This has been a good conversation. I like to talk to people who know how to disagree without being disagreeable. Happens too rarely.
