Prologue or Act III?
That was a great explanation.
I remember hearing an interview with John Boehner on NPR (former Republican Speaker of the House) a few years ago. He was talking about the government shutdown that happened shortly after far right wing was elected in 2010. Apparently, a few of them barged into his office after the shutdown and demanded to know why the government had actually shut down.
And Boehner was like, "Um...you said you wanted it to?"
And the right wingers said, "Well we didn't think it would work!"
These are irresponsible people who think they should just get to play games in life.
And the right wingers said, "Well we didn't think it would work!"
I recall a number of voters who voted in favor of Brexit who were interviewed and said things like "but I didn't think it would actually happen!"
I also seem to recall a similar sentiment in a case where people voted to strip funding from a local library in Michigan, then were shocked when the library had to close.
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Wow. He really nailed it in a very simple way. Nice job.
Jeff Jackson is amazing. He’s not my representative, but he’s running for state wide office(Attorney General, N.C.) this year. Don’t be surprised if you see more of him.
He'll have my vote.
He was my representative, but because of these videos he gerrymandered out of his district.
Well, it's NC, that's what happens. If we had fair districts, we'd be blue.
Is this a video?
It’s a link to a video if that’s what you mean
Weird must be the app because I just see a picture with a play button it that does nothing
I see that too except there's also a functional link below the picture. I did still open the picture twice before trying the link though haha
