I trust Trump about as far as I can throw him, and at the end of the day it's really the Pentagon calling the shots here not the POTUS.

    You are projecting so fucking hard right now, monkeys exist independent of whatever use they had as a tool to dehumanize people in the past. And humans share a common ancestor with monkeys and when they don’t use their brains to think, that primate comes out.

    Anti-intellectualism is quite the hill to die on, especially when veiled in some silly moral posturing

      I'd argue refusing to acknowledge the historical context in which such an insult has been used is the real anti-intellectual act.
