    Imagine a school that has a bullying problem. Then a bully becomes the principal. Bullies take over the PTA. And bullies take over the discipline committee. That school is now our country.

        It is sad how the 'social justice activists' are killing freedom of speech and viewpoint diversity in our country. Glad you understand who the real bullies are.

        Can both sets of bullies not exist in a non-mutually exclusive way? I agree SJWs have complete control over humanities/academia/HR depts. I don't think that negates the existence of Trumpian bullies in the White House though, or calls for whattaboutism when they're brought up

        This is an example of verbiage ANYBODY can understand. This reminds me of how Tim Russert helped us navigate our political waters; talking in a way Big Russ would understand. We need more WAKE UP commentary to LAND like this; simple yet chilling to the core.

        Outside of voting, I think it's time we start talking about what we can do about this. While those who identify as @GOP are shrinking in number, those that remain are hardening. And theybare enabled by GOP leadership.

        And don’t forget that this school is likely a for profit charter. With a board that just wants to make money.

        Imagine that happening in a school where students get to decide who’s in charge, and 3/4 of them just go, “whatever.”

        These recent weeks the Democrats used the bully approach but failed to win. Time to promote consensus building, finding the middle ground not pointing out the fault lines.

        Don't forget most are dishonest people. Trump can only hire dishonest people others would go public on what they see in the White House!
