If it's about people shutting down things they don't like then that behavior exists everywhere, and I'm not sure why some groups think they're justified in using it as an attack against another group. There's literally no society or section of society where some behavior or other won't get you "canceled". Don't believe me? Go to a Three Percenters meeting and tell them the NFA is compatible with the constitution, and then observe as you are canceled by the cancel culture. I get the idea of not triggering someone's PTSD.....which is what "trigger warning" was originally about. A "safe space" was supposed to be a place where you won't be harassed for being black or gay (etc). I first heard both terms in media that was ridiculing the weakness of people who needed such things. Whether it's really a weakness to not want to set off a person with mental problems or to want to be safe isn't as important as the fact that the terms no longer mean anything except to insult a perceived weakness in someone else. A militia meeting is a "safe space" for Three Percenters and Boogaloos to fully express their views about the elitist pedophile cabal discretely implementing communism in the USA. What a bunch of weak-ass babies for feeling safe in their safe space while not feeling safe to express those ideas in the general public who would absolutely "cancel" them for being a bunch of weirdos. I'm a believer in the importance of the second amendment and I'm a gun owner (and it's one of those evil semi automatic rifles with a box magazine and a black composite stock), and I would be all about joining a militia whose purpose was to defend the country and respond to natural disasters with no weird, political conspiracy BS baked in. Too bad there isn't one. If anyone on the left feels left out of my rant, this next section is for you: I've met exactly one person who described themselves as "woke", and she was the most racist, manipulative lunatic I ever met in my life. Here: https://youtu.be/-G5eEJTtKUw That video freakin nails it. "Oh we have to help these poor, stupid persons of color because they're too poor and stupid to help themselves. I'm so woke AF because I've realized that black people are poor and stupid." What the woke need to admit is that they've reinvented the "White Man's Burden". Admit it, grow up, and move on. I've also got a half dozen or so Facebook friends who won't shut up about socialism. I'd bet not a single one of them is a real socialist. I bet not a single one of them actually knows what the F they're talking about. Just like these dumb kids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMxTEZ7JizI&feature=youtu.be who think socialism means "helping people" or "closing the wealth gap". What a bunch of goons. Otto Von Bismarck was 100% correct. You need robust social welfare programs because once the government is "helping people" you've now shut up 95% of the self described socialists who really just wanted to know that if they get too old or too sick to work that they'll be ok. The 5% of remaining true believers then become an irrelevant fringe element which can now be ignored. And yeah by the way: The "silent majority" doesn't secretly agree with anybody in particular. They actually find both ends of the political spectrum repulsive and frightening. They're silent for the same reason you silently walk past a wild eyed street preacher who smells like whiskey and urine. If anyone doesn't feel sufficiently canceled then I'd be happy to rant about whatever political affiliation you prefer. I don't want to discriminate. Fight me Steve.

I hope the university that compiles an annual list of banished words includes “trigger warning”, “safe space”, “cancel culture”, and a bunch more that I never actually hear normal people say. Let’s just get rid of all those terms that end in “culture” or “lifestyle”. And maybe we could retire “Karen” and “my freedoms”. And there are some pandemic related terms I’d like to never hear again. Like social distancing and face covering. Isn’t social distancing like jumbo shrimp? Can’t we just call them physical distancing and masks? Oh, and novel coronavirus. Just call it the coronavirus, unless you’re writing a novel about it. And maybe we could stop saying “science” when we mean “facts”, it might avoid “triggering” people who find “science” elitist and feel you’re talking down to them.

Two frequently mentioned candidates are indeed Kamala Harris and Susan Rice. Amy Klobuchar took her name off the list. Also supposedly on the short list is Tammy Duckworth who is Asian-American (mother was Thai Chinese), as well as some other black and Hispanic candidates. I won’t mention Elizabeth Warren or you guys will make Pocahontas jokes. Supposedly we’ll all find out in about a week. Maybe he borrowed Mitt Romney’s binders full of women.
