WOW!

That sounds more like a conspiratorial objective of the Trump-Putin type of social justice. That's especially so when considering elite oligarchs and the super wealthy in pursuit of a greater "consolidation of power". Something shifted much more to the right.

We really shouldn't have to be reminded of the terroristic tactics employed by Putin and gang in order to seize wealth and power in Russia.

We also shouldn't have to be forced to recall the many scams implemented by the Trump gang and certain members of the GOP, to pave the way for them to amass greater power and wealth here in the US, as well.

I predict that their two modus operandi's are of the same ilk, and their ends will eventually converge as one and the same, once the Mueller investigation has concluded.

Unfortunately, Social Justice is a concept that most Americans have a distinct disadvantage in comprehending, due to our deeply biased cultural roots. Roots that are tightly wrapped around racial, class, and gender inequality.

Fox News is the only MSM that reports news without trying to bash the President.

I admittingly like to watch CNN a good bit to see the butt hurt up front, they are poor crying snowflakes 24/7.. they need a natural disaster to happen to report real news but then they will then try to blame Trump for that too

I hadn't even heard of Breitbart til looking around on this forum.

You most probably wouldn't even like Trump, if not for FOX news!

Right!

As opposed to dumping our daily load of crap upon them since we first ever encountered them since day one, many centuries ago.

Apparently, this must be the "human beings" we truly are!

I'm not the only liberal that is sick of all the regressive left today. Why do mainstream liberals continue to tolerate these spoiled brats?
Of course liberals can disown sjw and safe space people. the best way to disown them is to vote against progressive politicians who support sjw and safe spaces. Just like in Alabama recently. the republican voters rejected senate republican candidate roy moore because politics took a back seat to this candidate's questionable morality.

I pick and choose among the causes I support, ignore, or oppose. I strongly support fighting those who use the legal system to legally steal from my fellow citizens, for example collecting stale, out-of-statute zombie debt (google it if you’re unfamiliar with the term); similarly, I’m actively supporting all attempts to stop gerrymandering and voter suppression. Generally, I’m strongly in favor of free and open information about all levels of government; too many people’s livelihoods, from lobbyists to developers to lawyers, make their coin from being the one-eyed person in the land of the blind.

I’m agnostic on Dreamers. I understand the injustice of deporting people who did not come here of their own volition, but I can’t fight all injustice everywhere. Same with abortion— I’d like to see a common-sense compromise, but that’s not going to happen, so no contributions, no rallies for me.

I oppose all attempts to limit free speech except for the time-honored limitations such as the shouting fire in a crowded theater trope. I think it’s shameful that conservative speakers like Charles Murray have been silenced on university campuses, but it’s equally shameful that we no longer have net neutrality; I fear that speech will be “free” only for the powerful.
