Oh, it's completely the fault of the voters. It's also the fault of the DNC's messaging. The crappy economy (job markets and inflation/unchecked price gouging) meant that the uninformed were just voting for "Not the Party that's Currently In Power" because the cost of groceries and rent was outstripping their paychecks, and the messaging coming from the DNC was completely tangential to that.

Regular everyday Joes don't follow politics. Just because we do doesn't make us representative of the general population. That sort of thinking is what made Trump's victory a surprise - both times.

From the linked article - yes, hate speech is protected, however harassment isn't.

The judge in OP's case ruled that it was harassment, so the school was well within its rights to eject the parents.

I'm pretty sure astronauts are trained on the usage of garbage receptacles.

The air filters would capture it eventually. It's not like the ISS has dead air.

Oh, he's acting rationally from the perspective of someone who thinks he has all the answers and wants to throw his weight around. He's trying to be a tough business guy to China and is only backing off when someone finally manages to explain to him that it's a bad idea in terms simple enough that he can sit through them.

The order was to shut down DEI policies, not to stop discrimination. And DEI policies explicitly exist to try to stop discrimination - meaning that what Trump really wants to do is appeal to white men who feel like they're being left behind when a Pakistani woman gets hired in a position they feel like they 'deserve'.
