    Seriously though, good on MIT to end it. Let’s hope more follow.

    They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

      I'll believe it is over if I see a white man in a TV commercial who isn't an idiot.

          Good point. My company had a 50 page benefits guide during open enrollment and lots of stock images of families and people being healthy. It took like 23 pages before I found a white couple.

                Seriously, though? Any chance that when the pendulum swings back that we can go through a 20-30 year period of semi-libertarian principles where the government just stays out of things as much as possible?

                    Unfortunately, and I hope I'm wrong and I know every "youth" generation is further left than their parents, BUT... it seems there is a strong foundation of left-leaning ideals embedded in youths today that'll slowly push out conservative ideals as their cohort ages....eventually seeing a permanent minority across all age groups for conservative principles.

                    In other words, kids are so comfortable with concepts today that would've been insanity 30 years ago, such as gay marriage or men dressing up as women, and also comfortable with heavy government reliance and involvement... it's hard to see them grow out of such a mindset. Damn whippersnappers.

                          Much more realistic.

                            What might that look like?

                            Other than throwing everybody into prison who ever wrote any online criticism of Donald Trump, I mean. That's obviously a done deal, but beyond that, what would a right-wing zealotry period look like?

                                Actually, it looks like more boys are trending conservative and are becoming less likely to attend college, which is limiting some of the indoctrination coming from the left. It also seems likely that parents are keeping a much closer eye on what is being taught in the school curriculums and in the classroom. I expect there to be some sweeping changes in the public school systems tamping down the rhetoric and indoctrination, and I think you will see more subtle shifts at the collegiate level. There were 2 major victories at colleges just this past week.

                                  Looks like the boys are refusing to continue the patriarchy by refusing to be edumacated. The matriarchy will rise as the girls/women control more and more of the information and technology.

                                      Don’t worry, now that all the foodstuffs are switching to jars instead of cans, the patriarchy is secured.

                                        Actually, it looks like more boys are trending conservative and are becoming less likely to attend college, which is limiting some of the indoctrination coming from the left.

                                        Looks like the boys are refusing to continue the patriarchy by refusing to be edumacated. The matriarchy will rise as the girls/women control more and more of the information and technology.

                                        Never underestimate a group of pissed men with guns.

                                        The yielding of power, even violent force, is a function of technology. A 105 lb. woman with a pistol (a more advanced technology) can kill a 250 lb. man swinging a big axe (a more rudimentary technology). If the girls/women control the technology, they too will control the power, the violent force.
