This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
Based on my experiences, I would have to disagree with this. For example, I have a family member who regularly tells me stories along the lines of "Can you believe what Trump did/said?!" And it's always something totally unreasonable. And then when I look into it, it always turns out to be a wild distortion of the truth. Typically the press has played that game where they don't say anything literally false, but they print true statements out of context in order to give a completely false impression. And they interpret what Trump says in a maximally uncharitable way. Then this family member picks up that false impression and runs with it.
But what's interesting is that this family member never learns. When I request proof of what Trump supposedly did/said, she gets quiet and forgets about it. Then a few weeks later she is repeating some new lie.
So the first question I have is this:
Do you agree that there are people like that out there?
Second, do you agree that it's reasonable to call this attitude "Trump Derangement Syndrome"?
I think "even though the bad guy is known to be bad, I am going to try to distinguish the bad things he did do from the bad things he didn't do" is a fundamentally autistic way of thinking. Once normies know someone is a bad guy, they just put him in the "bad" bucket and believe everything bad about him and disbelieve everything good.
The term "Clinton Derangement Syndrome" wasn't used at the time, but there was a similar phenomenon where conservatives, even otherwise sensible ones, who had (correctly) worked out that he was a bad man started believing every negative rumour about him (and his wife) including the obviously silly ones, and a similar pro-Clinton litany of obnoxious efforts to psychoanalyse them. Something similar happened among small groups of anti-Obama and anti-GW Bush political obsessives, but on a much smaller scale because normies didn't see Obama or GW Bush as bad people.
People as venal, chronically dishonest, sexually incontinent, and reckless as Clinton and Trump normally get jailed or at least driven out of public life in disgrace.
I think there's more to it than that: part of the issue is that with the polarization of American politics; the capture of mainstream media by the Left; and the popularity of social media, people end up in these echo chambers where these sorts of beliefs get heavily reinforced.
But in any event, let's suppose for the sake of argument that, for whatever reason, there are a bunch of people out there who, as you put it, believe everything bad about Trump and don't believe anything good about him. And that a lot of them are so passionate in their beliefs, they will attempt to socially pressure and ostracize anyone who is perceived as supporting Trump in any way.
If there are enough people like that (and my impression is that there are), then it becomes difficult, or even impossible, for Trump to get a fair trial in a court of law.
Edit: To put it another way, if there is someone who is widely believed (rightly or wrongly) to be "venal, chronically dishonest, sexually incontinent, and reckless," and that person is the victim or wrongdoing (maybe his tax returns get released; or he's walking down the street and a car runs into him; or whatever), he still should have the right to compensation for his injuries. And a procedure to seek compensation which isn't stacked against him.
