I like U-Statians because it'd be produced like Haitians, which would drive the right people nuts

Yeah, and the GOP "America" is like their idealized white America that cannot fail, only be failed. So Obama wasn't a problem with America, he was an outside agent (figuratively, and for some literally) messing with it.

Think of all the strongest things either good or bad you can say that you know will get through to a teenage boy. They're all gendered. Don't be a bitch. Act like a man.
I never use this kinda shit with my son, and it frankly feels like I'm fighting with a hand tied behind my back.

To my mind, I think the core of the problem is that greater - if still imperfect - gender equality allowed women access to more 'life scripts' as it were, but society mostly still presents men with just one script and that script poorly and incompletely.
So some men are fine and many are adrift.

Reading through that thread, Noah thinks he has some kind of deep point, but he misses that Republicans just name their preferred local-elites-dominated ethnostate "America." Obama was a betrayal of that, so they hated him, not "America"

My pet theory: the reactionaries know they won the post-1876 peace on race relations, so they assume they did so on federal structure too.

It also is another thing that puts a lie to their constitution as articles of confederation 1.2.
"We're a union of independent sovereigns... that are all death gripped into this nigh-unchangeable charter"

Yeah, we tried their bullshit 'union of sovereign states,' watered it down in 1789, and the thing still went tits up in 1861.

They always fall back to this idea that we're a 'union of states.' No, we're not, and we haven't been for over a century.
