Gods, yes. It's not the only but almost certainly the largest.

Or the reverse, but as far as I'm aware there's not many people under the GOP tent (or anywhere else, for that matter) calling for the population to be disarmed to make it easier to purge the gays (... do they even exist?).

... though there is conflict between "minorities should not be abused" and "no gun control is best". At least with the U.S. situation as things are. Was point, that the stances the dems have actually are correlated on that point, it's just by way of something broader than either specific issue.

Gun control actually kinda' hits on a lot of the democrat planks like that. Most of the conditions it effects disproportionately (poor, minority, low education, unhealthy -- if primarily from the mental angle -- and so on) are also ones dem platform is specifically aimed at first (if not only) and foremost. Other conditions would be better with less or better controlled firearms, firearm issues would be reduced if the rest treated, and either happening faster if both addressed hand in hand. It's... not really disconnected or whathaveyou, is what I'm getting at. Nothing particularly incoherent about it.

... I don't think I've ever yelled at a TV, actually? Always been kind of an impolite thing to do to other folks in the house.

Though I probably kinda' cheat, there. I've watched like... one or two episodes of anything on a TV in the last five years or so. Before that it was probably another five or ten or something where it was more common, but only because I was rooming with folks at college somewhere in there. NCIS was alright.

Besides the whole more practical experience in moving things around space thing, the easier access to whatever's in the asteroid whenever we got around to mining it, a platform to test space born resource extraction, probably other stuff 'cause it's not like these have to be single purpose...

I am against the travel ban, but it was struck down, so no lasting problem. I am for the firing of comet, as he deserved to be fired. I have not researched his conflicts of interest too much, but I will get back to you on that. He's not perfect by any means, but he is doing rather well, I feel.

... the ban hasn't exactly been struck down, though. There's still the SCOTUS going over it to be tried, and every time a judge has suspended the thing, trump & co. have appealed or tried a new one.

You'll have fun with the conflict of interest, though, if you actually bother digging much. Dude's the most openly corrupt president I've seen in my life, ha. And I'm not even saying that from the leftist perspective, that's coming straight from my business and accounting education.

Huh. If you didn't notice mention popping up in the free games thread, Fantasy General looks like it's going free at gog for a day or two.

... wait, sending military to the area? Were you not aware forces were already there, ori?

E: Ha, though it's not just a matter of liberal, per se. Approval of trump tends to sink as education goes up. Part of that is because more educated folks tend to be more liberal, but not all. Lotta' the shit he's been up to and done previously are pretty transparently terrible on one level or another if you have the experience or knowledge to tell what's involved, and education tends to increase the likelihood of that even if it doesn't change your political inclinations.
