This used to be an interesting place. The Trump nonsense is another nail in the coffin.
Cue random fortune cookie dribble...

Sounds like you need to take a break. Yes, there has been an obnoxious surge of right-wing, undereducated, bigots over the last ten years who would have been kicked out by the old Mods like Bido and Fong, but it is what it is.
Take a rest, buttercup.

I'm not sure if you are saying you are not right wing or better educated than I. Of course, there are a few (or at least one) person on this board with better academic credentials than me. As far as smarts, there are many. You seem to be offering a contest of measuring sticks, so I gladly accept. What are your credentials, mr. office worker?
I believe everyone should get the same chances. I do not believe in many of the recent nonsensical politically correct constructs

I genuinely don't understand how you can misinterpret such a simple message, and I teach English. I have never claimed to be more academically qualified than anyone, nor have I stated my politics. The stick measuring contest is in your confused little mind.
FWIW I am a Ph.D candidate, with a GPA of 4.0, hoping to finish in a year or so. Therefore cupcake, I am not lacking in education. As for politics, I believe everyone should get the same chances. I do not believe in many of the recent nonsensical politically correct constructs and find the push to enforce them on society to be a form of intolerance, ironic given they are meant to counter intolerance.
I think Trump was elected because his message to help was a better message than Clinton's wanting to make history as the first female president. Her ego and arrogance are offensive to the average joe. You got the president you deserve as a result of the hubris of the political elite. I dont support or like Trump, but neither do I believe he is to blame for many of the recent problems. Antifa and others of their ilk dont need a reason to poison society with their own brand of facism, nor do racists need Trump to legitimize what they do. The problems in the US are not Trumps fault and insisting that those who disagree are bigots and uneducated is a high form of stupidity.
I think you know what I mean when I say equal chances. I don't think there's any need for me to clarify further.
As for bitching out Trump, I haven't said people shouldn't. My argument has always been that if someone doesnt automatically make them an uneducated bigot.

As for my Ph.D. It's in TESOL, although most of it is linguistics, and fwiw it isnt an online uni. Taiwan doesnt accept online uni qualifications, nor unregistered private uni qualifications. I don't flout anything. If asking to not be called dumb by someone I have never met is flouting superiority, guilty as charged.
You don't like Trump and expect everyone to agree with your comments about him, your support for antifa etc. That's not how it works. I think Trump is a joke, but using him as an excuse for violence is wrong, regardless of your political position.
I'm done repeating myself.
