THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS

This Week’s Discussion:

To get even trump supporters on board with beating COVID, Dave suggests doing the unimaginable; making republicans accountable! Let's make people who don't follow guidelines personally liable for the injuries that result. (in fact, let's even have some guidelines!)

Even better, Dave offers an additional modest proposal. Since people not practicing good safety practices are posing a direct threat to others, let's invoke Stand Your Ground laws (instituted to allow whites to shoot black people with impunity) to justify shooting anyone not wearing a mask in public! And of course, let's vote the threat-in-chief out of office in November!

Even the most selfish people respond to incentives.

We continue our discussions on free speech, American exceptionalism, the rich, and in light of trump's commutation of his henchman Roger Stone's sentence, our fascist-wannabee president. For fascists and rich people, both categories in which our president falls, the law is never an obstacle...or a concern.
