The crowds at the Obama inauguration were textbook examples of the hive mind. It was one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen.
>>”I started out the new edition with the famous two photographs of the inaugural crowds of this guy named President Obama, his first inauguration, and this guy named President Trump, his first and maybe only inauguration. And you just look at those two photos and they’re completely different. There’s all kinds of grass and gaps that you see in the Trump photo.
how queer, the 360 photo of Trump’s inauguration didn’t have these gaps once the crowd was through the gates. but hey, 8am photo vs. 11am photo (or whatever).
Recall how Herr Obama pinched the crowd (with gating to control where they stood) and specially staged the cameras to make his German campaign stop appear to be a bigger crowd than it actually was.
is the “photo” issue.
—
The Obama one is taken during the inauguration; the DJT photo is taken in the early morning - hours before the inauguration. NPR is perpetuation a lie from its opening paragraph.
Photos taken during the actual DJT inauguration show many more hundreds of people than in the Obama one taken at a similar time.
>> the downturn in American race relations, starting after Reconstruction, that saw the rise of lynchings and the Ku Klux Klan. In doing so, Lies My Teacher Told Me overturned one assumption embedded in the history classes I’d been sitting through all my life: that the United States is constantly ascending from greatness to greatness.
Hey lady, those were Democrat “insurgents” who didn’t like black people, Republicans, Jews, Catholics, and more groups.
There was a Klansman on the Supreme Court who decided the case against the Catholic schools being able to use city school buses to get the kids.
What party is she slavish to today?
Anya, I give you a D for
1) lack of originality
2) failure to succinctly and coherently state your thesis, which is that you think America isn’t great and never has been
3) absence of any mention of the opposing arguments for why America is considered great
4) general lack of clear thinking
Despite presenting a deeply flawed argument, this book is a bestseller.
I have not read anything from NPR in many years. There is no profit in it.

President of the United States of America Donald John Trump (I love saying that) was administered the oath at noon and immediately gave about a 22 minute speech.
OK.

Well lookie there, the "inauguration" photo was actually taken at 1:15 pm, about 45 minutes after it was all over.
Apparently the esteemed professor emeritus of sociology at the University of Vermont James Loewen is peddling a load of proglib crap.
