This country has never seen anything like the anti-Trump attitude.
That's removed from your It example, which concerned violence and not disagreement with conservatives (you might've thought that's what King was getting at, but that wasn't on the page).
If you change the issue from violence to the conversation surrounding gay issues, it's no longer "homophobia;" it's social disagreement.
That's what happens when you burden a book with "I apologize for being an older white male."
This perspective has always greatly amused me: the lesbian restaurant is in danger of going out of business, and this obviously must be due to homophobic locals, because new restaurants in small towns in remote seasonal areas opened by outsiders always succeed, right? Classic lazy liberal identity politics thinking (I actually liked Elevation and even I saw this).
Members of aggrieved groups should watch a Chappelle Show sketch called "The Monsters" (I tried but couldn't find a good video); here's a description from a review:
The point is, if something happens to you, it probably has nothing to do with your "identity."This sketch was presented in black and white, labeled "The Monsters" and featuring Charlie as Frankenstein's monster, Dave as The Werewolf, and Donnell as The Mummy, we got to see just how the world treats these monsters. Appropriately entitled "The System Is Not Designed For Us," this sketch followed how the monsters perceived racism from simple criticism about their monsters qualities (Frankenstein is violent, The Werewolf is naked, and The Mummy is slow).
To the point of this thread/conversation: being lazy enough to think it always is about identity makes for writing that many who think of themselves as King readers will find repellent.
...but mainly because he (Ed Deepneau) was being manipulated by Atropos (not politics).
You can't be aloof until you advertise.
King likely would've thought a Trump-supporting Billy would want to set up a post near the border to shoot Mexican or Central American children - the problem is that King (and so many others) consider Trump support absolutely synonymous with racism, hatred, etc. These people won't comprehend this paragraph.
You can't be aloof until you advertise.
That's true, but not applicable to the conversation at hand.
98% of those crying "racism" (as well as other "isms" or "phobias") think everything they disagree with is racism (or phobia etc.) - but they wouldn't necessarily suffer this logical/intellectual implosion if they were more openminded about those with whom they disagree.
You can't be aloof until you advertise.
Honestly, I'm starting to come around to the opinion of just let people do what they want. The facts are there, the science is there. If you want the world to know how anti-vax/anti-mask you were when they read your obituary, so be it. Seems like there's at least one story every single day about someone that was.
Or a story about a family that was, then one of them dies and all the rest run to get vaccinated. Either way works.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
Not a very apt comparison, comparing the Florida recount in 2000, where the margin was so razor-thin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_U...unt_in_Florida Gore also accepted defeat and moved on.
Biden won Arizona by over 10,000 votes: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ger-lead-biden
OK. It's time to wait for the book, then discuss it's merits/leanings etc.
Political and Vaccine discussions should be done in the appropriate thread(s).
The approval of this vaccine is nothing short of criminal by the FDA. Two of the most senior vaccine safety people at FDA left over the rushed and ridiculous approval of the vaccine. I work with the FDA every day and if you think it’s some sort of infallible agency you’re incredibly naive.
I really wish the political crap would go elsewhere. Holly rocks and I am looking forward to the book!
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
I would generally agree with you...but when something is wrong, well...
"Two of the most senior vaccine safety people at FDA left over the rushed and ridiculous approval of the vaccine."
In reality:
"Two senior officials have resigned from their positions within the US Food and Drug Administration over frustrations with the Biden administration’s plans to move forward with recommending COVID-19 booster shots without their prior approval, according to a report." NYPost
Nothing wrong with the vaccine. It was approved because it is safe and works.

An sort-of update on this book on the Bloody Disgusting website today:
Scott Wampler and Eric Vespe scored their white whale on the Fangoria podcast The Kingcast, interviewing Stephen King himself on a brand new 1-hour episode that launched today.
During the chat, which you’ll find embedded below, Stephen King revealed that he’s again revisiting a character from his past work, with one of his next novels set to be titled Holly.
The new tale will center on the character Holly Gibney, a character from the Mr. Mercedes books who also made an appearance in The Outsider as well as If It Bleeds.
As the Stephen King Wikipedia explains, “[Holly Gibney] is the younger cousin of Janey and Olivia Gibney. Holly suffers from OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), synesthesia, sensory processing disorder, and she’s somewhere on the autism spectrum. Despite this, she’s very observant, refreshingly unfiltered and unaware of her innocence.”
“I could never let Holly Gibney go, from the Mr. Mercedes books,” King tells The Kingcast. “I mean, she was supposed to be a walk-on character and she just kind of stole the book and stole my heart and so… I just finished a novel that’s called Holly and it’s all her, man.”
I thought this was supposed to out already. Is there a publication date?
