I think most kids drop in their HS rankings by graduation simply because their "class size" drops, due to kids dropping out.

Ha!, that wasn’t the cause of mine.

Not mine either.  I discovered beer and was already admitted, so . . . uh . . . what are we doing here exactly?

Dude, he's talking about how the Secretary of Energy must have come to him ten times trying to get him to call Zelenskyy. He's a mush brained moron who says crazy shit, but it's clear what he is, and isn't saying in that clip.

Fair.  But I wasn't at UT for the McWilliams era.

Yeah, but McWilliams* wasn't a colossal douchebag. You would've thought Mackovic won multiple national titles the way he carried himself.

* - also didn't lose to Rice or TCU

That's nonsense. You get connections at the best high schools and universities that are worth more than education, but the quality of the actual education itself isn't that much better. Donald Trump is a Wharton graduate and he can barely read.

But I think its outcomes, particularly in certain fields, were elite.

Then it was elite in every way that matters. “Selectivity” is a meaningless artifact of the admissions process.

I found an example from the middle of the decade. Check this shit out. If you were Top 25% in your HS class, you only needed a 1050 SAT to get PRIORITY admission. Top 50%? No worries: score a measly 1150 or higher.

Those are not even remotely elite admissions criteria. 

i was a couple years after that (between hopwood  and the top 10% rule) but thank fuck i scored well over 1100 on the SAT.

Deserved or no, highly unlikely. A Truth and Reconciliation Commission is probably the most that can be hoped for, and even that's probably not in the cards. Americans, sometimes for better, often for worse, are a forgiving people who (as you know as well as anyone) tend neither to look to the past nor to learn any lessons from it. 

I don’t dispute we have been fairly conciliatory towards people who either fought against the Union or those who were against Civil Rights, but later apologized for what they had done. 
 

As a nation this FEELS different. Watching American citizens being sent away, the loss of citizenship being openly talked about by the regime (I can’t call them politicians anymore) and people being degraded as being disposable based solely on how they look and that they are a darker skin color. 
 

I would expect those in Schumer’s orbit and ilk to want reconciliation. We tried this in 2020. It failed and fomented an even bigger part of the population to want what we currently have with a fascist regime in control. I think there will be acts of violence perpetrated upon some of the regime. Where can a guy like Miller live at once everything goes south for him except a prison cell? He’s a target for the rest of his life and someone that thinks violent retribution is the answer will likely go and get it if given that target of opportunity.
 

I want all of these criminals to spend life in prison once this ends. I want the young Democrats to grow a backbone and not let these people just resume their pre-fascist life again. My bet is maybe 10 percent of the country will look back into history to see that reconciliation does not work and that it’ll just lead to another generation looking to get even  for their fascist heroes being discarded. You have to completely stamp it out and to do that means at the end of this the Republican Party has to be outlawed and torn apart. 

Conservative folks can go form a new party based on something more modern, but the whole apparatus has to come down. Absorbing these folks back in will not heal divisions. It will just enable more morons in the future and some generation not yet born that we will never meet will have to deal with it and they’ll be left wondering why we did not do more to put an end to these people.

I don't disagree with you; I want to see the rot within the system completely and utterly excised. I personally don't believe that can happen through reconciliation but will take some hard lessons being learned. American history does not show that we will do anything other than "forgive and forget" however, and right now I see no signs that will change. My hope otherwise is in the youth of the party. We shall see.

Regarding your first point - this all has happened before. Many, many lawful Hispanic residents - including no small number of citizens - were driven out of the US in the 1930s (the "Mexican Repatriation"); estimates are anywhere between 200,000 and 3 million people. Loss of birthright citizenship? Oh yeah, we've done that too. My great-grandmother, born in Illinois to American citizens and who probably never left the country in her life, lost her US citizenship because she married a foreign national who had not (yet) naturalized. Yep, that was the law in the 1920s if you were a woman. She had to go through the naturalization process later, same as any alien; I have her naturalization papers. What is happening today feels different to us because in our lifetimes nothing like this has ever happened, but in the long, often ugly and usually xenophobic history of the USA we've always managed to be complete and total shitbags to some part of the population (and no, we're certainly not alone there, then or now).

Stephen Miller and his ilk - why, they can eat a giant bag of muledicks. I hear the mini-mart down at the Esso station might have some, if they hang around long enough.

Domestic history is probably something I should read more about so kudos to you for bringing that horrid part of our history into the conversation. It’s so odd, yet so normal that human beings ALWAYS find a group to piss on. We’ve done it with every large wave of immigrants that have come here and as you so starkly pointed out, we did it with American citizens. To me it is the worst of human behavior. We base hatred on skin color, languages used, sometimes singling out groups like the Jews and other undesirables were by the Nazis. We never learn as people.
 

I spend a decent amount of time thinking about am I doing things that will help people out generations from now? Am I doing something to further humanity in a positive way for the millions and billions that’ll come long after I’m tossed overboard into the South Pacific to be shark food? I don’t think it makes me unique to think that way, but I do wish humans would think long-term instead of just five minutes from now and that they’d use history as a guide as to why that would be important to do so.

You can’t rehabilitate cancer. You can’t coexist with cancer for long. You can’t just part ways with this cancer.  There’s one way to get rid of it. And that way looks suspiciously like killing all of your political opponents, because that’s what it is.  &nbsp
 

once this becomes an us or them situation, that’s what it is from both perspectives.  And that lets a lot of blood eventually.

I would argue this is the cause of all of our problems. It is our greatest weakness. I don’t see why though. It’s not hard to do it right.

Speaking of cancer, can it be contagious? Cause fuckhead is going to visit King Charles in September.

Completely disagree. Most of what families purchase from American Universities is practically useless, or at best anti-climactic, compared to the education delivered at the best and most rigorous public high schools, let alone elite, selective private schools.

But did you get her numba?

UT is an elite institution and was then too. Surprised I have to remind people, here of all places. 

UT was elite when I went?  I disagree.  Exhibit A: I was there.

(Edit: to be clear, the simple fact that UT allowed me on campus, let alone attend classes, was proof of some kind of scholastic malpractice visited upon my cohorts.  I was straight up stupid).
