  • I also realize now after typing this rant that may be the point of the meme lol sorry, I’ll keep the rest intact though.

    No you were right to call me out.

    You make some fair points but it seems like you are saying things can’t possibly get worse for people who are not young white cishet protestant men without disabilities.

    The thing is however, that it can always get worse. And it just did.

    Legal discrimination is back at the federal level. The ACLU and other rights advocates are going to have a much harder time trying to represent anyone who is now in a scapegoated demographic. We are now in an post human rights America where a “pure” national identity is taking shape. The Executive Order is intended to disarm legal resistance by remove the few institutional tools we have to fight discrimination.

    This must be met with resistance.

    • 1st panel: Trump bets all his money. Normally this is done either if you are confident you will win (like if you have a winning hand). Or if you are trying to win by bluffing (lying by signaling that you have a winning hand when you don’t have one). But a good player would only bluff if they thought the other player has little chance of having a winning hand, especially if betting all chips. Ideally, you would only go all in if you had a low chance of having a winning hand but somehow got one and the other player thinks you’re bluffing so they stay in the game.
    • 2nd panel: Xi calls Trump’s bluff and matches Trump’s bet, because he knows he will win.
    • 3rd panel: Trump realizes that his bluff was called and he will probably lose.
    • 4th panel: Trump forfeits all his money to Xi. There is now no way to get his chips back. It would be better to continue to play on the off chance that Xi was bluffing and they both have bad hands but Trump’s was slightly stronger than Xis. At the very least it would reveal if Xi was bluffing or not and what his hand was. However by folding not only does he give all his money to Xi but he also learns nothing about his opponents strategies.

    Basically this is something the worst poker player in the world might do.
