Since it can, of training…
The point I like about , The Conversation is that its donors really believe they’re offering something serious.
The reality is the material is generally left-wing/Democrat talking points that have long been debunked, are real advertising, or travel in the face of truth.
Like the transgender female professor at Roanoke College and Washington & Lee University, who claimed GOP lawmakers “did not back up their claims” that the newly elected ( trans-female ) representative of Delaware, Sarah McBride, is actually a man.
Or the UCLA prof who believes Donald Trump’s “violent language” needs to be” carefully watched”. ( Hillary Clinton’s, though? That’s just part of her” toughness as a female politician confronting stereotypes”. )
Or the USC academics who made the claim that the “division of household labor is ] an ] frequently overlooked vehicle of global female inequality.” You see, the “only” things people do are taking out the wastes and do household maintenance ( as if home maintenance is a one job ).
One of the site’s editors even claimed conservative commentator Ann Coulter” serv]ed ] in political leadership” ( she only officially “worked” in politics with the Senate Judiciary Committee in the 90s ).
Then, down comes Trinity College’s David Sterling Brown. He claims Shakespeare’s circa-1592 work” Richard II I” reminds him of Donald Trump, especially after the (only ) debate with President Biden ( shortly before the latter turned the reins over to Kamala Harris ).
Brown ( pictured ) says the play “highlights the flawed character of a man who wanted to be, in modern terms, a dictator, someone who could do whatever he pleased without any consequences”.
Richard II I’s two-year tenure in the late 1400s was marked by” chaos, confusion and corruption“, and “fueled , civil discord in England”, he notes. ( The final entry on the January 6 Capitol riot comes from Wikipedia, so make sure to check those links for the” case” that Brown attempts to construct. )

For the new, how’s Shakespeare. nonprofit. uk’s summary of” Richard II I”:
Richard of Gloucester, who is” Envious and crippled,” wants to be the King of England and uses deception and manipulation to accomplish his objective. He murders his brothers, cousins, and any criticism to be King Richard II I”.
But Brown says” While the information of Trump’s and Richard’s life differ in many ways, there are some resemblance”. ( Hey— just like Hitler, right? )
” Little like Trump during his first name, Shakespeare’s Richard did not lead with morals, ethics or dignity. Richard lied compulsively to everyone, as his soliloquys ]sic ] that contain his innermost thoughts make clear”, Brown adds.
Richard used empty language to persuade people with” caramel words” – he was never interested in speaking or advocating facts, like Trump did. Also, Shakespeare’s Richard was a discriminatory and sexist who verbally and physically disrespected people, including his wife and mother”.
Some of Trump’s other offenses include calling Hillary Clinton” the devil”, referring to Nancy Pelosi as” crazy”, and never pronouncing Kamala Harris ‘ name correctly, Brown says.
Finally, like Richard, Trump “used faith to control and confuse people perception of his depraved image”. Brown’s information? Trump’s 2020 “photo ops” at St. John’s Church from which “police in rebellion equipment used tear gas to power protesters away”. Except this wasn’t actually the case. Perhaps NBC News disproven it.
Understandably, away from Shakespeare Brown’s experience lies in the field of essential competition reports. ” By discussing important issues such as electricity, class, gender, gender and race in the classroom, he enables his students to discover ways in which the previous intrudes into and informs the existing”, his faculty bio reads.
Brown’s past essays include” Baldwin, Shakespeare, Whiteness, and ( Anti ) Fandom: ‘ What’s love got to do with it?'” ” ‘ Shake thou to lookon’t’: Shakespearean White Hands”,” ‘ Pale with Worry’: Reading the Racialized Soundscape in Macbeth”, and” Code Black: Whiteness and Unmanliness in Hamlet”.
