James Damore was destroyed for ranting against diversity policies, and claimed a lot more than just “men are smarter than women”. He claimed there was significant difference between any man’s and any woman’s intelligence, and that workers s

There is no room for hyperbole when speaking from the president’s lectern. In “common discourse” where the rabble you are rousing is the crowd at your local fight-a-night pub is whatever you want it to be, but when the rabble you are rousin
