But it’s within the context of the last six or On the right track, wrong direction, as we know, seven elections that have been change elections, and the polling has showed the country going in the the president unfortunately is no longer the change wrong direction for the last 30 years, but these are that people voted for in 2016. He is now the incumbent unprecedented numbers. 72% think the country’s and he owns a lot of the things that he complained on the wrong track and only 19% think it’s going in about that helped him get elected. He projected an the right direction. That’s normally a good indication America that was weak, an America that was in chaos, of deep trouble for the incumbent. The problem for an America that was at war with itself. And the images Trump, as we’ll talk about later, time is running out on our screens today show a continuation or actually a to change either the economy or his response to the proliferation of that image of America, and I think most coronavirus, and I think that time factor is the real Americans believe that he owns and contributed to a issue, and I’d love for people to come away today lot of that problem. understanding that the first votes are going to be cast in North Carolina in four weeks’ time.

  • Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy
    The 'Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy Dr. Valerie Scatamburlo-D'Annibale University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario, Canada Abstract This article explores how Donald Trump capitalized on the right's decades-long, carefully choreographed and well-financed campaign against political correctness in relation to the broader strategy of 'cultural conservatism.' It provides an historical overview of various iterations of this campaign, discusses the mainstream media's complicity in promulgating conservative talking points about higher education at the height of the 1990s 'culture wars,' examines the reconfigured anti- PC/pro-free speech crusade of recent years, its contemporary currency in the Trump era and the implications for academia and educational policy. Keywords: political correctness, culture wars, free speech, cultural conservatism, critical pedagogy Introduction More than two years after Donald Trump's ascendancy to the White House, post-mortems of the 2016 American election continue to explore the factors that propelled him to office. Some have pointed to the spread of right-wing populism in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis that culminated in Brexit in Europe and Trump's victory (Kagarlitsky, 2017; Tufts & Thomas, 2017) while Fuchs (2018) lays bare the deleterious role of social media in facilitating the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. and elsewhere. Other 69 | P a g e The 'Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy explanations refer to deep-rooted misogyny that worked against Hillary Clinton (Wilz, 2016), a backlash against Barack Obama, sedimented racism and the demonization of diversity as a public good (Major, Blodorn and Blascovich, 2016; Shafer, 2017).

  • PDF-Courtney Davis October Surprise Case
    The Ethics of Social Media Decision Making on Handling the New York Post “October Surprise” How can media institutions facilitate the free flow of information and promote the truth during an election cycle shrouded in misinformation? In October 2020, the New York Post published an article carrying allegations that Joe Biden’s son leveraged his father’s political position for personal gain. Social media firms’, particularly Facebook and Twitter’s handling (i.e. content moderation) of this news story came under intense scrutiny. [This is a downloadable version of a case for use in guided discussions and classrooms. View this case online.] This ethics case features two parts: 1. A recap of what the platforms did with the New York Post’s “October Surprise” and the related ethical questions for discussion. 2. Supplementary moral analysis from the author. After the questions in part 1 are discussed in a group/class setting, part 2 can be given out for reading and further discussion. Part I: What happened At 5:00 am EST on October 14th, the New York Post (NY Post) published an article that many politicians and news analysts would soon qualify as this election’s October surprise. In politics, October surprise refers to any newsworthy event—planned or unplanned—that has the potential to impact the outcome of the election. The Post article, “Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukranian Businessman to VP dad,” contains claims more captivating than even the title suggests. Citing the content of a recovered hard drive, the article alleges that Joe Biden’s son leveraged his father’s political position for personal gain.

  • Selling Cannabis Regulation: Learning from Ballot Initiatives in the United States in 2012
    ISSN 2054-1910 Selling cannabis regulation: Learning From Ballot Initiatives in the United States in 2012 Emily Crick*, Mark Cooke¥ and Dave Bewley-Taylorp Policy Brief 6 | November 2014 Key Points • In November 2012, Washington, Colorado, and Oregon voted on ballot initiatives to establish legally regulated markets for the production, sale, use and taxation of cannabis.1 Washington and Colorado’s measures won by wide margins, while Oregon’s lost soundly. • A majority of voters view cannabis in a negative light, but also feel that prohibition for non-medical and non-scientific purposes is not working. As a result, they are more likely to support well-crafted reform policies that include strong regulations and direct tax revenue to worthy causes such as public health and education. • Ballot measures are not the ideal method for passing complicated pieces of legislation, but sometimes they are necessary for controversial issues. Other states often follow in their footsteps, including via the legislature. • The successful campaigns in Washington and Colorado relied on poll-driven messaging, were well organised, and had significant financing. The Oregon campaign lacked these elements. • The Washington and Colorado campaigns targeted key demographic groups, particularly 30-50 year old women, who were likely to be initially supportive of reform but then switch their allegiance to the ‘no’ vote. • Two key messages in Washington and Colorado were that legalisation, taxation and regulation will (i) free up scarce law enforcement resources to focus on more serious crimes and (ii) will create new tax revenue for worthy causes. • National attitudes on legalising cannabis are changing, with more and more people supporting reform.

  • Donald Trump: Our President Will Start a War with Iran Because He Has Absolutely No Ability to Negotiate
    Donald Trump: Our President will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective so the only way he figures that he's going to get reelected and assure he's just sitting there is to start a war with Iran. Sarah Kendzior: I'm Sarah Kendzior, the author of the best-selling essay collection, The View ​ from Flyover Country and the upcoming book, Hiding in Plain Sight. ​ ​ ​ Andrea Chalupa: I'm Andrea Chalupa, a journalist and filmmaker, and the writer and producer of the upcoming journalistic thriller, Mr. Jones. ​ ​ Sarah Kendzior: And this is Gaslit Nation, a podcast covering corruption in the Trump Administration and rising autocracy around the world. Andrea Chalupa: Our opening clip was from November 16, 2011 of Donald Trump projecting his intentions to start war with Iran onto his obsession, then President Barack Obama. So happy new year everyone. We want to start off by congratulating Jared Kushner for bringing peace to the Middle East. The world of course laughed at you and Ivanka. Way to prove them wrong. Getting Middle Eastern leaders together for a karaoke night was ingenious. Andrea Chalupa: So first off, John Bolton is having a great 2020. This is going to be John Bolton's year. Before we get into that, we want to first say that our hearts are breaking for our Australian listeners. Nearly 30 people killed so far, over a billion animals killed. We're so, so sorry that you have this government who've been driven by greed and inaction, and your coal industry helped create the most devastating fires in your country's history.
