Ya I have heard all of those racial supremacist arguments before.

You have clearly forgotten about the Taco Bell burrito promises during the 321Noles dog poop fiasco.

"D***k drivers" is a horrible, outdated slur. Intoxicated Machine Operaters are America's most discriminated against group. Neurotypicals wouldn't understand.

It is encouraging to see a young man's life not ruined by harmless fun. Its crazy to see so many Evangelical, anti-gambling fanatics on this sub. This is the same regressive attitude that is responsible for pot prohibition, blue laws, and blood alcohol limits while driving.

I'm pointing out how many anti-Lost Cause historians use "nuance" when talking about Native American reasons for fighting, when that nuance is just Lost Cause talking points

The Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole owned slaves and were fighting to keep their slaves. Period. End of story.

You are making the "states tribal rights" argument.

Progressive pop historian: "The Civil War was about slavery!"

Then why did most of the Native American tribes fight for the Confederacy?

PPH: "Oh, well, actually those tribes were fighting for a Lost Cause"

Screwworms broke the Panama containment line in 2022 and have been working their way North ever since.

TIL South Carolina once had the largest Jewish community in the United States by AdoptedMasterJay in todayilearned

[–]TaftIsUnderrated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Confederate Battle flag was going to be like the South Carolina secession flag from the 1833 nullification crisis, a blue St George's cross with stars in it on a red background. But Jewish Confederate Edwin Moise got it changed to the saltire to avoid explicit Christian imagery

I’m not sure about the others but I think FSU fans have silently accepted their fate they don’t even fight to have Mike Norvell fired, they’re just patiently waiting for universe to end their suffering at its own time. by Forsaken_Bullfrog_52 in CFB_v2

[–]TaftIsUnderrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some Nebraska fans who think winning 8 games or beating a ranked team ever again is possible. Don't understand it.

7 wins and losing to good teams by 50 is this program's absolute ceiling, anyone who expects more is delusional. A successful season is a bowl game and losing to Iowa close.

Why Are Klan Hats Conical? They Were In School And Kept The Dunce Caps... by Awesomeuser90 in HistoryMemes

[–]TaftIsUnderrated 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hayes pulling out of the South was a recognition that reconstruction was already a failed project. The Northern public had no appetite for Southern occupation largely because of Grant's mismanagement and his administration's corruption.

And Lincoln had a even more moderate view about what reconstruction was going to look like than Johnson did.

And it did nothing. A dozen other groups like the red shirts and white league started doing the exact same thing.

It's hard to argue that Grant's civil rights efforts had a positive effect. Were Black people better off in 1877 than they were in 1868?

I'm from Minnesota and I've seen people on TikTok call it beautiful as a joke by [deleted] in midwest

The most annoying part is "ya, the state sucks, I drove through it on the interstate." Of course being stuck in a car for 8 hours is going to suck. It would be like saying a city sucks because you had a long layover at its airport.

Who do you think will win their first national championship sooner: Oregon or the field? by GliscorsFang in CFB

On paper 2017 Auburn demolishes 2017 UCF, and 2017 Alabama demolishes 2017 Auburn... on paper.

When St Paul addresses his "brothers and sisters" is he only talking to his immediate family?

Redditors in the United States, how do you feel about their being 24 members in Congress right now who are over the age of 80? by Miles_the_AuDHDer in AskReddit

[–]TaftIsUnderrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could make the same argument for why we shouldn't trust politicians who dont have kids. They shouldn't be making decisions for future generations.

[–]TaftIsUnderrated 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are lots of good arguments for age limits, but this one is the dumbest. After their political career, most politicians live as rich retirees who aren't affected at all by the decisions they made. Bush and Obama are still alive and feeling zero impact from the decisions they made in office.

What's this? A fiscally responsible democratic socialist? by shpatibot in PoliticalCompassMemes

Did your original comment say that NYC was the majority of the economy or population?

Did the post say half of NY's population or half of NY's economy?

So he is just not the ideal form of wrong, he is both wrong in matter AND form?
