What do you think? Are they on their knees because they’re afraid of the “base” or because they actually agree with his moves to dismantle our country?

I go back and forth but I tend to believe many are complicit.

Who remembers matcom, retro lounge, nothingshocksmeanymore?

Who else do you miss from the old DU days?

Watching Trump and his minions destroy everything good about this nation has me absolutely devastated. I’m thinking of my grandpa, who fought the fascists in WWII and how he must be rolling in his grave at what’s happening to this country. I just try and keep my faith that congressional Democrats are doing all they can and are getting all their ducks in a row before we can impeach the asshole.

I’ve been studying German for 6 months now and it’s just not clicking. I used the Rocket language app as well as reading the website, YourDailyGerman. I’ve also tried reading the German Harry Potter side by side with the English version.

Any tips or advice on how to get a language to “click” faster?

So what is their basis for being sooo conservative, in general? In most states, lack of religion correlates with voting Democratic and being of a more liberal mindset. Are they largely libertarian in outlook?

I would love for that to happen.

There are some posters who only post and get passionate about threads where a POC, especially someone Black, is being treated differently due to white privilege.
The question is... Why are they so eager to deny racism and white privilege? Why does that seem to be almost their sole reason for participating? It's infuriating.
