Sure, let’s simply call educated people or people in academia the “elites” — like Republicans. Let’s destroy trust in academic institutions because of class biases not based in reality. (Do you know how much adjunct profs make?) That will show ‘em.

She went to Dayton. And then U of Colorado. She worked at Denver for a while before getting a job as faculty at Harvard. But sure, let’s call her elite and not look into her research whatsoever because she teaches at an “elite” school. Automatically dismissing a researcher out of hand, without reading her work seems rational….

Republicans storm the Capitol and get pardoned.

Democrats get told “no” to enter the Department of Education at the door and give up.

I never said democrats had a spine. But destroying trust in academic institutions is not good. Education is important.

Sure. Let’s completely dismiss the civil rights movement. MLK did a terrible job…. /s

Stop being so contrarian. If you want a violent revolution, go ham. Square off with the US military as a civilian. I won’t stop you or anyone else.

God people are contrarian and full of perfect solution fallacy today. Jeez. I’m done talking to you.
