Yes, Shad. He reminds me of a lot of Trump supporters I know who are just spouting off nonsense. Granted, look at Trump himself spouting off that "last night in Sweden" which was just something he watched on Fox News that was not representative of Sweden in the first place.

I also know a lot of Trump supporters who honestly don't care about the rest of the world and either thought Brexit was a good thing or didn't pay attention to it or why they should care.

I liked Lorinda too but his nonchalance towards cheating on his wife bothered me.

And yes I agree with your assessment of Windrip's platform on "the Negro," but I also know a lot of racist people who only know of Muslims as something other people see and instead deal with blacks in their daily lives (I know a lot of rural Southerners who feel this way).

Interestingly, I read an article on cracked about why more liberals live in cities and why, which also sort of sticks out here, where Doremus ignored the issue until it actually started hurting his paper.

At least this book has given us a lot of things to talk about.

Do you happen to have a link to the Cracked article? It's an interesting topic for me to be sure!

And yeah a lot of Trump supporters don't give a shit about the rest of the world. It's all about 'murica! And nothing else matters. Which is not only morally wrong but also going to bite them in the butt if they get their way.

And I don't think people realize what a global economy we are now. Already tourism is down and that's going to hurt us long term.

The good news is the UK and US tanking their economies out of stupid pride has meant the Japanese economy is starting to perk back up. Lot of yen that went to America and London is coming back home instead.

Thanks - that was interesting!

I wish some level of global studies was required. Social studies in high school is pretty much exclusively history which is important but we need a lot more focus on current events, happenings both local and global, and politics.

I think the US curriculum fails at all levels. They push for math/science, but not really because I know so many who don't have a basic understanding of sciences and give up on basic math. Just testing to standardized tests isn't a good thing.

A friend and I have been talking about how we see how Hitler came to power and Stalin too. I have a friend who is from Russia and her relatives lived decently during Stalin and remember the good, not the bad.
