"Many liberals, after the double shock of Trump and Brexit in 2016, confessed their supposed mistakes and performed contrition, along the lines of: we failed to pay attention to the “left-behind”; we must book political safaris in Appalachia; we must closely study Hillbilly Elegy to demonstrate compassion for the heartland. Of course, self-criticism and checking one’s priors is a good thing. But behind the ostentatious displays of “we failed to listen” was also a profound narcissism: if only we acted (or at least talked) differently, all would be well. Only liberals, or so the assumption goes again, have agency; performing contrition reinforced that flattering image.
Even worse, this narcissism keeps shoring up the right’s claim that there is a “real America” and that only they speak for it. As any viewer of Sunday-morning shows has noticed, Republicans can malign city dwellers without anyone batting an eyelid; Obama saying something about guns and religion in rural areas triggers a multiyear scandal. It would not even occur to anyone to demand an apology from GOP members for insulting all urban dwellers. The asymmetry is taken for granted; liberals just accept it. This is what victory in a culture war looks like: Democrats accept the cultural framings enforced by the other side, even though polls would suggest that the liberals’ positions are often more popular (or, dare one say, reflect more about “real America” than the far-right fantasies pushed by Fox and its far-right friends)."

This chapter is one of my favorites: a good introduction to the franchise and a bellwether of if it's grossness is for you. It stars a handicapped black woman in a position of power so #Trump & #CharlieKirk fans will definitely hate it.

#Minnesota raised #AntiWoke Warrior and former #FauxNews pundit #PeteHegseth has used his #DJT admin #DOD perch to preach his disdain for #Diversity and "dudes in dresses” but seemed to embody the opposite values when he wrote his masters thesis at #Harvard Kennedy School endorsing “Ensuring low-income and minority children have the same opportunities as more affluent majority students is an essential goal and worth pursuing with vigor and substantial investment".
At that time in 2013, #Hegseth was working with a female Democratic state lawmaker in Minnesota on education issues, a decade before decrying the viability of females serving in the military.
His proposal called for prioritizing a diverse student body and maintaining a balance of race, class, gender, and geography, using "geographic #quotas" for admissions.
Hegseth wrote that closing racial achievement gaps was a "laudable goal" and promoted "#equality, diversity, and accessibility".

Andreas Gerhard Hyperius, a Reformed/Lutheran theologian, comments on the 8th C. He condemns the sound-of-limb beggar. For spoiling the “poor indeed”.
Of course. But is this today’s mindset? He says it truly matters that the poor have needs met. The poor are entitled to a revenue stream from the well-off. Many can be mad at welfare queens without believing either of these. Just an excuse
How can you find new way to give today?
