Where did I ever say that you said Trump was perfect? Try not to be a condescending twat. I understand very well the concept of the lesser of two evils, I just happen to think that Trump is the worst choice of the two, even though I consider Clinton to basically be a shit sandwich.

But you saying, as you said, "Oh those crazy lefties and their irrational hatred for Trump" doesn't look much like a concession that any "lefties" at all are out to lunch, exhibit the behaviour my JPG illustrated. Do you believe, yes or no, that, for example Maxine Waters might qualify as an exemplar of that picture?

Doesn't look like it. Since I doubt you read the link, here's the topic sentence in its glory:
The lesser of two evils principle (or lesser evil principle and lesser-evilism) is the principle that when faced with selecting from two immoral options, the one which is least immoral should be chosen.
Since you have accepted, have conceded (hallelujah!!), that Clinton was "basically ... a shit sandwich", one might reasonably ask whether you think that chosing her would have made things better? Or worse? Before answering, you might actually try reflecting on the changes Trump has initiated, starting with the Title IX fiasco, the pandering to Islam that was characteristic of both Obama & Clinton, and the festering issue of immigration controls.
Trump was, and is, a gamble for "better", but Clinton looked to have been a sure thing for "worse". And some 63 million Americans largely agreed - and, given the melt-downs on the Left, those numbers seen to be increasing every day.

Largely moot. But honest men - and women and otherkin - can disagree.

Maps of Meaning is the place to go to find out more. I've started to read it and I think I have a much better understanding of what he's saying.
Another aspect is the symbolic interpretation of myths. Everyone hears Christianity or "bible stories" and jumps to the conclusion that this is someone who takes the bible as a journalistic account of past events. I don't see any evidence that Jordan Peterson thinks that way he is talking about the symbolic interpretation. I think that's where he was trying to take Dillahunty when he pushed him on his axioms. I thought Dillahunty reacted unreasonably angry to it and Peterson moved on.
Apparently the latest round of Peterson/Harris talks are about these very topics. They both seem to have read each other's books and have been talking productively. My understanding is that they will be released after all of the talks are done. I think that's what happened with the Peterson/Dillahunty talk.

Kind of academic though, isn't it? You can maybe pat yourself on the back for choosing the moral high ground, but it doesn't look very practical, very much cognizant of which way the wind was blowing.

Civic nationalism rules.
[a survey] found 72 per cent of Australians think migrants who have become citizens and speak English are “real” Australians
But the survey had an intriguing twist. When respondents were asked if they considered themselves a “real” Australian only 80 per cent said yes – a lower proportion than most of the 27 countries surveyed.
Elliot said Australia’s relatively high share of overseas born respondents – 32 per cent compared with a global average of 16 per cent – may have been a factor.
But it is possible some respondents have a negative view of what it means to be a “real Australian” and wanted to distance themselves from it, he said
Australia had the highest share of respondents in the survey who had been born, or lived, outside of the country.

On Peterson and God. I have not watched this yet, but maybe I should:
Lecture I in my Psychological Significance of the Biblical Stories series from May 16th at Isabel Bader Theatre in Toronto. In this lecture, I describe what I consider to be the idea of God, which is at least partly the notion of sovereignty and power, divorced from any concrete sovereign or particular, individual person of power. I also suggest that God, as Father, is something akin to the spirit or pattern inherent in the human hierarchy of authority, which is based in turn on the dominance hierarchies characterizing animals.

I don't feel like a real Australian, as a kiwi, born, bred, and bathed in the sweat of the All Blacks, and relatively recent Australian citizen. Nevertheless, I have left kiwi culture behind, and feel a bit like a stranger when I go back, mainly because it has moved on in what I see as a positive direction over the last 15 years. The new culture is a syncretism of Maori and Pakeha (+Polynesia and other if you are in Auckland). It has been built on a renaissance of Maori culture and language, and redefining of what it means to be kiwi. This has been over my lifetime of half a century.

Like nearly all SJW 'research' it's not even meant as serious scholarship that has those hoary old properties of being evidence-based and being able to withstand criticism. It's designed solely to support a tactic, in this case the loathsome tactic of declaring someone racist or a Nazi for not being in full agreement with a piece of identity politics dogma.

For me, the main negative with Trump is I have to withstand the figurative bruising from the forehead slapping and head banging on desk reacting to his ignorant statements. On the positive side, we have the near complete excision of SJW influence from the civil service executive. Also, the general deregulatory environment along with the normalization of corporate income tax rates to those more typically found around the world have been nice boons to the economy. And I like Gorsuch as a Supreme Court judge, which will likely be Trump's longest lasting legacy. The jury's still out on whether he's had a net positive influence on the illegal immigration and North Korea issues. But I have little doubt he's done more good for the U.S than Clinton would have.

To give it more context, this tweet was in response to criticism from another of his tweets stating that he thought of Lando Calrissian as a pansexual character despite it not being manifested explicitly in the script. This, in turn, was responding to negative reaction from some of the early reviews
of Solo stating that the movie hinted Calrissian had a sexual relationship with his droid. He likely got a severe reprimand from Disney and/or LucasFilm for needlessly polarizing the potential audience just a week before the movie's release, and I doubt he'll ever be writing for one of their projects again.
The failure of Solo has been epic, and highly enjoyable as far as I'm concerned. I predicted the possibility of a Solo bomb back in December when I was fulminating in my hate for The Last Jedi, but the magnitude has been astonishing. I would have thought anything under $1 billion worldwide would be a disappointment, with $800 billion being pretty much the floor, and 700 billion is likely what they needed to break even. To struggle even to make $350 million is astonishing. A whole sub-genre of 50-100 K subscriber YouTube channels based on hate for The Last Jedi, Kathleen Kennedy, and Rian Johnson has developed since December, but Solo's numbers are so bad that a boycott from serious Star Wars fans can't possibly account for it. The movie itself is supposed to be passable, and not have the storytelling and SJW issues The Last Jedi had, so it's not simply a matter of avoiding an unappealing movie. What seems to be the case is that casual movie fans, while nominally liking The Last Jedi, have lost enthusiasm for the franchise. It will be interesting to see how Disney maneuvers over the next year in fear their $4 billion investment in LucasFilm is about to go up in smoke if Episode IX fails.

Well there's a turn up for the books - an explanation of 'god' that is (completely?) non supernatural. (Though I'm sure it remains backwardly compatible with earlier interpretations).
It will be interesting to see how many people will start to declare themselves 'Religious but not Spiritual'.
Peterson has given his interpretation of other religious myths too - but has specified that he places the christian ones in a unique separate category.
Good luck - and let us know if it changes your view on atheism and the supernatural.

Methinks that's a bit of dyslexia on the part of Claire Lehmann. Though it seems a fairly common mistake. Fer instance, even this YouTube video from Salisbury University themselves has the title as "Salsibury University 2008 Board of Regents Video Presentation - Charles Pridgeon":
Still moot I guess whether there is in fact an actual Salsibury University but Salisbury University seems to be a smallish university in Maryland:
Salisbury University (often referred to as 'SU' or the 'Bury') is a public university located in the city of Salisbury in Wicomico County, Maryland, roughly 30 miles west of Ocean City, Maryland, and approximately 115 miles southeast of Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, DC.
