The political party supporters who think that Hollywood should keep its nose out of politics elected Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Donald Trump.
People who are pro-life but deny that climate change is a real, man-made problem, and think guns in a classroom are a smart idea do not understand hypocrisy.
Here's my question about guns in a school, if the concern really is for safety: fire extinguishers are for safety, too. Fires don't always break out, but just in case they do, we have extinguishers in every classroom and in a few common areas of the school, like the cafeteria, auditorium, and gym. So since school shootings don't always happen, but only sometimes happen, here's what we'll do. Right next to the fire extinguishers, we'll put a loaded rifle in a glass case. There will be one in every classroom and in the common areas, like the cafeteria, auditorium, and gym. You know.... for safety.
Confederate statues are monuments erected to people who tried really hard but lost. That makes them participation trophies, and don't ever forget that.
If you're white but would not send your white child to a high school named Malcolm X Memorial High, then you know why a black kid would feel uncomfortable at Robert E. Lee or Jefferson Davis High, and don't act stupid like you don't get what the problem is.
Twice in my lifetime, the Republican nominee for President did not get the most votes but still got to be President. Republicans told Democrats that they just needed to get over it. But wish these same people a Happy Holidays instead of a Merry Christmas, and they will claim that there is a war on Christmas in this country.
Half of my family supports Donald Trump. The other half of my family is Puerto Rican. The half of my family that supports Trump has seen his comments about Puerto Rico in the wake of the hurricane and continue to agree with him, despite what this means to the other half of my family. I am told that I need to be more tolerant.
My family accepted into its bosom a man who uses racial slurs openly, and accepted this man as father figure to a child. They all agree this is an upgrade over the boy's actual father, who lost visitation and custody rights to his child thanks to drug use. In an interesting twist, the boy's mother was kept out of public school because the boy's grandmother thought that public schools would expose the boy's mother to drugs and sex education.
This is what it's like to be an adult in 2019. Those who care enough about the future of this country will have to drag along those of us who refuse to let go of the past.
