Thesis: Ken Jeong should go back to practicing medicine

Antithesis: Ken Jeong should continue acting if that's his passion

The ride or die Dems make sense because it's the last thing holding their entire world view back from collapsing. Republicans are overtly evil so they're not an option. Third parties have no real chance of elections or social change. There are no mainstream activist groups that have social capital or numbers for change (like the civil rights movements).

So the Dems are all you have left to believe in the system. If you admit to yourself Dems are coconspirators in all the bad things about America, then you have no real reason to think America is a force for good. So for the majority of liberals the cognitive dissonance is an easier pill to swallow than saying "Are we the baddies?" Not to mention there is an infinite amount of media for you to consume that reinforces that dissonance so you don't have to think about it.

I remember in 2016 right after the election she was on some talk show and made some word salad like "Well Trump has a lot of policies that want to help only Americans so he's a nationalist.

Yeah, it still works.

Because middle class is a dog whistle for white and working class is a dog whistle for black/brown. Except lots of black and brown people who live comfortable lives think politicians are talking about them.

FUCK I typed it correctly but my stupid phone autocorrected.
