re: #475 Khal Wimpo (wounded at Bowling Green)

Oh, dammit. At times, I kinda missed DF around here; it’s always good to have voices from across the spectrum, because groupthink is a characteristic of incurious minds and leads to gigantic blind spots.

But Merkel was “asking for it” ???

No.

Just. No.

That’s a vile echo of the uppity woman asking for sexual assault for daring to defy the whims of an egotistical male.

I felt the same about DF (and KT) because it’s too easy to be in a bubble when all you hear are those who share your views. But it’s sad to see how he’s gone off the deep end and finds it more comfortable to live in the Trump bubble. I have always believed that one of the main reasons Hillary did not get sufficient votes in certain states was the endemic sexism of blue collar workers and non-college educated, as well as fundamentalists and evangelicals.
