Right now, both parties seem to believe the other party is an existential threat. Which causes them and their more radical members to escalate, which is interpreted as proof of the other sides' fears. Existential us vs them can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

My entire feed is just male vs. female Ben Shapiro

The whole family went to go support one of my little sisters at her high school volleyball play offs. My mom asks "So have you watched girl's high school volleyball before?" 😶 I am a 32 year old man who just got divorced. No, I do not watch girl's high school volleyball.

People just copy cool words and phrases they hear from other people. We're sheep.

What you don’t see in the published version of this debate is my first opponent approaching me and saying, “I’m so sorry about your friend Charlie.” It was the day before his memorial. This sincere gesture set the tone. I had already made it my aim to disarm them with kindness, but the truth is, many of them disarmed me, too. I’ve seen a lot of people say this was different than other Jubilee debates. Everyone felt that in the moment — even the producers, who are progressive, said so. You’ll just have to believe me when I tell you the Holy Spirit was there. And while all the credit goes to Jesus, I have to thank Charlie for how he coached me before this debate and how, even in death, he helped bring honor to Jesus.

There is only one other time in my life that I have heard a human being say that someone's eyes were black. It was during a training interrogation with a guy who didn't speak english very well. I asked for eye color and this man said "black". After a pause we all laughed.

Influencers are already fake and performative. You made a fake performative faker. No thanks. I think there's more honor in being a garbageman.

I think it's time to send in the Emergency Grass Touching Task Force to save RFH from RFH. It's for your own good. We can take it slow. Now get on the ground and interlace your fingers behind your head. We're going outside.

Moral relativism is destroying this country

Look, no matter what kind of pizza you think is the BEST, we should all agree that New York pizza is the WORST. It's a soggy piece of cardboard with pan grease poured over the top. It's something you make prisoners eat to break their spirits.

Hypothesis: For a reporter, being careful, precise, and accurate is *inversely correlated* with being successful. Discuss.

Behold, a frenchman scolding an American for making fun of an American state.

Yeah but at least I don't speak french
