Is there an expiration date for this?

It feels like just about every section/thread of this board is filled with some racial or political grievance. You can't escape it even if you avoid the politics section. It wasn't always this way. Is this what happens with age? Is there an expiration date for this?

Two weeks.

If it lasts more than 4 hours, call a doctor.

I wouldn't say that the obsession with identity politics is limited to the board. It's become pervasive throughout much of society and generally serves no other purpose than to turn ordinary people against one another and reestablish the supremacy of the ruling classes at a time when their legitimacy has disintegrated.

I blame DRUMPF and Hillary. Things were much better when Joe Lieberman and John McCain just got together to amicably fuck everybody in smoke-filled rooms rather than rancorously calling half the country pieces of shit.

American society became polarized along racial lines with Obama's ascent to the presidency.

The internet is all in on everyone being mad all the time. It eventually made it here.

What this place needs is a superhappyfun thread.

That's what the Simpsons quote thread is for. Also the Keats thread. Possibly Cum Town too.

I have not had fun in Cum Town

I don't think that's true. Whole lot of white people voted for Obama, not once, but twice. Obama is still widely respected and beloved.

The American working class expected Obama to be a respite from the Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush years when they got fucked six ways to Sunday and when Obama failed to deliver disappointment turned to rage.

it's now way to easy to find like minded idiots and too many people share posts/tweets whatever that are full of half truths.

Close your mouth.

Fair enough, I don't think I phrased my post above quite as well as I should have. Obama's ascent polarized people according to their political beliefs; and the determining factor in their political beliefs was race. Tesler documents this change quite well in his book, though he doesn't manage to probe the extent to which racial politics are deeply intertwined with other political issues, most notably class precarity felt by working class white people. Many of the discussions on this board--and the identity of several posters on the board--perfectly capture this precarity.
