We really do live in strange times.Imagine just creating your own alternative universe, where facts don't matter, and your beliefs-- no matter how far-fetched--- are constantly being reinforced to you by your ideological soul-mates.
Welcome to conservative America.
"Even as Hillary Clinton's popular vote win over Donald Trump tops 2.8 million and (still) counting, a majority of Republicans do not believe it to be true.
Respondents’ correct understanding of the popular vote depended a great deal on partisanship. A large fraction of Republicans — 52 percent — said Trump won the popular vote, compared with only 7 percent of Democrats and 24 percent of independents. Among Republicans without any college education, the share was even larger: 60 percent, compared with 37 percent of Republicans with a college degree.Whether Republicans truly believe Trump won the popular vote or whether they are reacting with spite towards the questioner is unclear. Do they truly not know? Did they tune out after election day, paying no further attention beyond reading the next-day headlines? Or is the apparent refusal to recognize reality a pathologic choice, rather than an ignorant one?" [Source]
I can't really say that I am surprised by this. We are talking about the same group of people where a majority actually believe that the president was born in another country, and that there were actually WMD's in Iraq.
Is it any wonder, then, why we can't get a consensus on climate change in this country?
The president- elect has one of the most powerful false-news pushers at his side, and he is himself prone to read more Alex Jones than he does The Economist. (Yes Donald, it is "unpresidented")
It's cool to feel sorry for these folks from a distance and write about them on blogs. But when they start occupying the halls of power, and acting out their sick delusions in real life, then it all starts getting just a little bit too scary for yours truly.
Finally, speaking of scared, if you are not worried about trump, and the people he is surrounding himself with to lead our country, please take the time to read what Michael Lewis (The Big Short) had to say about the dangerous con that trump and his pals are playing on America.
This of course only applies to those of you who don't reside in wingnut world. If you happen to be living in that particular right-wing bubble, don't waste your time. I am sure that you honestly believe that everything is just fine.
.
Every single complaint you have about "conservative America" is objectively also the reality of liberal America.
ReplyDeleteThe only real difference I see is that when liberals cite conservative "fake news," they struggle for any meaningful example. When a conservative cites the "fake news" from liberals, the examples are practically endless.
"We are talking about the same group of people where a majority actually believe that the president was born in another country"
ReplyDeleteWhich was declared in Obama's own purported autobiography and widely copied, and turns out to be supported by evidence of the forgery of his Hawaiian birth certificate plus evidence from the British archives from colonial Kenya.
He (allegedly, through his ghostwriter) said he was born in Kenya. Why don't you believe him? What are you, racist?
"It's cool to feel sorry for these folks from a distance and write about them on blogs. But when they start occupying the halls of power, and acting out their sick delusions in real life"....
You mean, like believing that Black people are oppressed, and that the right thing to do for everyone is give them "space to destroy"... as if destruction is good for anything or anyone?
Then you wonder why there are "food deserts" and no jobs.
The South under Jim Crow was absolutely correct. Black people are too stupid and resentful to even understand what's in their short-term interest. Suppressing their urges toward crime, both large scale and small, is the only way to maintain the things they destroy yet lament the moment they're gone. Keeping them from voting is the only way to focus government on anything other than appeasing their retarded demands.
Maybe if you really understood how much fake news America has had forced down its throat already, you could have a worthwhile opinion. But due to tribal loyalties and orientation, that understanding is beyond you. Leave the USA. Now.
Bold type and projection makes your argument super cogent.
DeleteReality doesn't care whether you believe in it or not. It's sort of sad to watch all of these poor racist suckers get stomped into the dirt by the very monsters they just voted in, but god damn it, we were trying as hard as we could to tell them.
ReplyDeleteBut no, we weren't approved by Rush or Drudge or Breitbart, so we had to be lying.
So let's just sort of see, for our own amusement because there's no reaching these people, who it was that was lying when the Ryan budget privatizes Medicare (Trump swore on the stump that he wouldn't touch it or Social Security, and they already have a bill in the works to gut Social Security), repeals the ACA, and Trump appoints a Supreme Court justice specifically to overturn Roe v Wade so their teenage daughters can no longer obtain safe, legal abortions, while their more well off neighbors have no such difficulties, the EPA gets gutted and the air and water start degrading back to the way they were in the '70s, the public schools get their funding sucked dry by the "school choice for wealthy people" policies, and the thousands of programs Obama initiated to boost manufacturing jobs in the "rust belt" are slashed and burned:
http://driftglass.blogspot.com/2016/12/on-subject-of-listening-to-people-of.html
and they wake up one morning to the realization that they are the wrong characters in the Ayn Rand novel they have voted to turn the country into.
Let's sort of keep a little list of how good they did within their made up world, compared with how they were doing while Barack Obama was their president. For our own amusement, because they will never believe it, to the last diseased breath they draw with no medical help in reach, we have to be the ones lying.
-Doug in Oakland
James and Josh,
ReplyDeleteYou guys get that this post wasn't really for you?
I was going to drop in with my own dire predictions and fears, but now that I read Doug's comment, I am at a loss for words.
I remember my first one or two ideas. For what it is worth, the author of, "Pathway to Poverty," Paul Ryan, was one of the most vocal critics of Trump. Now he says, "Let's get to work!" He's licking his lips like a coyote that just killed the farmer's dog.
Trump has the fucking nerve to blaspheme by saying he wants to be president for all of America, a united American with a common destiny. This after he has pledged to destroy the PPACA, threatens 30% tariffs against cars built in Mexico, has completely devalued the BLM movement and is threatening to gut the EPA, re-invigorate the American coal industry, renege on carefully negotiated climate deals that the Obama administration worked tirelessly to achieve?
Fuck you, Donald Trump. I used to always say they are all cut from the same cloth, Rick Perry, GWB, Rick Scott, Newt Gingrich... The list of crazies that we used to make fun of. But it's not entirely true. There are those who are more heartless in their pursuit of wealth at the expense of ordinary Americans. There are also those who espouse conservatism, but have no agenda to destroy the lives of those less fortunate than themselves. These clown car rejects are securing important appointments in the new administration. We let McConnell get away with not letting Obama appoint a third Supreme Court justice? Who are we going to get from these guys? We'd be better off with John McCain and Sarah Palin. They were relatively humane, old-fashioned conservatives who at least didn't have it in for old people, retirees and the sick. They weren't actively advocating impoverishing and emaciating millions of Americans. They had families. They were ordinary Americans.
I often felt amazed that the typical republican position on just about any issue would be the antithesis of the moral and upright thing to do. For example, if they could make money and promote more development and housing by building a landfill on a groundwater aquifer they would send out the talking points to get everybody on their team to approve the landfill. But with Trump, it truly is the feeling of a kleptocracy in worst possible sense. And the way the alt-right just eats up everything he says. WTF? Trump won in the most lop-sided landslide in the history of U.S. presidential elections. He won something like 450 electoral votes while HRC only won California. He won with 80% of the popular vote, a whopping 98 million votes for DJT! And I think the first time he ever talked to Putin was when Putin called him at bedtime to congratulate him on his victory.
Cheeto thinks saying a bunch of pretty words is going to make up for his deplorable actions.
DeleteAfter all, it's worked on enough voters already.

DeleteJames Despicable-lookee what I found..............
ReplyDeleteIs this booklet evidence that Barack Obama was actually born in Kenya? Not even the site that published it masw that claim, noting in a disclaimer that:
Andrew Breitbart was never a "Birther," and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of "Birtherism." In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.
... [W]e discovered, and now present, the booklet described below — one that includes a marketing pitch for a forthcoming book by a then-young, otherwise unknown former president of the Harvard Law Review.
It is evidence — not of the President's foreign origin, but that Barack Obama's public persona has perhaps been presented differently at different times.
The editor of the biographical text about Barack Obama which was included in the booklet maintained that the mention of Kenya was an error on her part and was not based on any information provided to her by Obama himself:
Miriam Goderich edited the text of the bio; she is now a partner at the Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its current clients.
"You're undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me — an agency assistant at the time," Goderich wrote. "There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more."
Facts is pesky things, ain't they?
Field, I'm glad you're scared. You are one of the canaries in our coal mine.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's dark for all of us down here.
"Practically endless"? Well cite one then Josh
ReplyDeleteTrump didn't devalue BLM, they devalued themselves IMHO by characterizing the lives of Garner, Grey, and Martin in the same vein as thugs like Mike Brown. So while I don't think Brown's corpse should have been left in the street on a hot summer day, his actions before he was killed are beyond indefensible.
ReplyDeleteAnd we all should be aware by now, of the incredibly difficult, picture of perfection standard "the face" of ANY Black movement must have to be considered "credible" by the majority. Put another way, there's a reason Rosa Parks was "picked" to represent the civil rights movement.
Trumpeting Mike Brown's death (pun intended) was an egregious error in judgement IMHO.

ReplyDelete1) Says who?
2) Why not?
3) Isn't that a problem?
Lance:
Umm... off the very tippy top of my head, how about the lie that Russia hacked the election? Not only are they perpetrating this lie bereft of all evidence, but MSM is also drawing the conclusion that Americans simply knowing the truth is how you "rig" an election, whereas they feed people misinformation constantly.
Or how about one near and dear to Field's heart? The LIE that there's somehow a war on black males at the hands of the police. That's a whopper right there! Media outright lie and twist stories; media perpetrated the "hands up, don't shoot" lie, and the "gentle giant" shit and refused to tell the public that half of the officers in the Freddie Gray case were black. They refuse to tell the public that, proportionately, blacks are responsible for over 50% of all crime, almost 90% responsible for those actually shooting at police, and that if we're really talking about a disproportionate number of blacks being shot per their crime numbers, there wouldn't be more white people shot by police every single year.
How about quote-mining people habitually to spin a narrative that they said something they didn't really say? E.g. Trump supposedly saying all Mexicans are rapists. Or how about how media refused to show video of a Trump audience, unless there was a fight, so they could say that Trump's speeches and rallies were basically ghost towns and that no one bothered showing up? (Or how about their utter REFUSAL to report the Dem operative caught on tape saying he hires agitators to make Trump's audience look violent?)
How about lying about Obama's job approval ratings? Might seem like a white lie, but it's an example of MSM carrying water for the Democrats.
Sure, all media lie. They need an audience, and so they need to be bombastic and play to a niche. And by that standard, this "alternative" media, not backed by huge corporations and oil money, should be lying more. But it's the corporate media being the most dishonest. But I don't blame them. Liberals, more so than any other political ideologue, demand their confirmation bias. Right-wing ideologues are lying-ass mofos. Left-wing ideologues are fucking lunatics and paint everyone with whom they disagree as a horrible Hitler monster. And it's no secret that the enemy list gets larger every single year. Now we're not--those of us who aren't leftists--ONLY racists and xenophobes. Each year we're a new thing. Islamaphobes, transphobes, homophobes, patriarchy, rapists, and on and on.
If you support policies that make life worse for Muslims, LGBTs, and women... sorry, but that does make you islamophobic, transphobic, and sexist.
DeleteShow me an actual link to any MSM story that says any of this bullshit.

Unarmed Blacks, are killed at a rate 3.5 times higher than whites. Raw numbers don't tell the story. You have to get into the sciency stuff of data, Josh, which is what scares the shit out of wingnuts. Obama's job approval rating is higher than Saint Ronnie the Raisin in his second term.

ReplyDeleteI see what you did there, Josh. Like a typical wingnut you parse a sentence and then pretend that is the whole story. Whether or not someone said Drumpf said "all" Messicans are rapists, the whole statement by Drumpf on immigrants was pants on fire false.

C'mon kiddies, I'm waiting. You believe Politifact is a joke, let's see yer iron-clad proof. Got any of them dead Breitbart or O'keefe edited videos that prove your contention? Got a speck of proof that all the stuff Drumpf said about immigrants is true? Of course you don't.
ReplyDelete"Whether or not someone said Drumpf said "all" Messicans are rapists, the whole statement by Drumpf on immigrants was pants on fire false."
ReplyDeleteAh, so no illegal immigrants crossing onto American soil are rapists.
Good to know.
That's the same ideological and nonsensical line taken by Germany and Sweden.
Sadly, to score political points, the people who call themselves "progressives" ignore the annihilation of cultures and the rampant rape of women and children. Unless, of course, they can spin it to say it's only white men doing it; e.g. the cooked "rape culture" of campuses. How 'bout that one, Lance? Remember the false rape stories perpetrated by media as fact? Or are we still playing your game where you pretend not to know any of these stories, solely so you can wait to discredit ANY link I provide as "fake news"? LOL
No thank you. I was born on a day; it just wasn't yesterday.
The opposite of "all" is not "none".
DeleteThe idea is, even when some of your immigrants are rapists, do nor shut out all immigrants, the vast majority of whom are law-abiding. That's a clumsy attempt to protect yourself.
The idea is, you rely on your law enforcement to find those immigrants who ARE rapists, and treat them accordingly.
And Josh, as an aside-- can you describe for me these cultures you are worried about being annihilated?

ReplyDeleteLucy and Mike, these people are not normal. They live vicariously through people who they perceive as being superior, and they set them up in power against their own interest because they share the same skin color.

President Barack Hussein Obama, anyone?
Your name perfectly describes our electoral state...
Delete@Lucy, I'll say this about the assault charge. If someone came up in my business establishment stealing, then pushed me around, they had better run faster than I can get my gun, because I'd pop a cap right in their ass!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what all the lowest paid/uneducated Whooteemoos are going to do when they figure out that the orange man doesn't give a flying f**k about their po' asses.

ReplyDeleteUsually when people immigrate to a new country, it's because they WANT to live under a that country's culture.
Ans sometimes it's when they want to colonize and conquer that country for their own people. And also because they get a bunch of free shit.
Operative word being "sometimes".
DeleteThat's why you investigate each immigrant, and not just blanket ban them all.
Unless you don't want to spend the money and time to do the right thing, that is.
FLOTUS on Oprah!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd it STILL feels great to say that OWN is owned (pun intended) AND named after a Black woman!!!
So is "gonorrhea".

ReplyDelete(The biggest crock of shit I've ever read at Field's)
Say I decided to move to Sweden/Germany because I liked their workplace and feminist culture better that of America. Would you be OK with that?
What if I were black? Would you still be OK?"
Ahh, how cute. Someone refuses to read polls about Muslim attitudes and just wants to assume, because they're viewed as racial minorities, that they're just poor little oppressed victims looking for a better life. LOL I wanna pinch your cheeks, you're so damned adorable.
And how the fuck do you manage to fit "'Cause I'm black" into something pertaining to Muslims? The Oppression Olympics are real!
Is there any evidence to present that Muslim migrants to Sweden and Germany are adopting Swedish and German cultural values? Any evidence to suggest they're assimilating into those western cultures? No, in fact; all evidence to the exact contrary. These Islamic migrants, whether supposedly "moderate" or outright radical, all seem to have one thing in common: They bring their culture with them!
So, they're fleeing these horrible nations with backward cultures. They're coming to the west to live as westerners and have better lives. Except that doesn't model reality. I understand that, with political ideology, building a model of utility which parallels reality is too much to ask. But using that standard gave us the computer, cured diseases, put people in space. Not using that standard gives us creationism religion and radicalized terrorists. So I'm going to use the standard by which a model is constructed which proves reliable in its mirroring of reality; i.e. I'm going to admit what the truth is, even if you people won't: Islamic immigrants, on the whole, bring their radical cultures to the west and attempt to overthrow the host culture to reinstitute Islamic culture.
Some cultures are better than others. The west is orders of magnitude better than Islamic theocracies. The "moderate" Muslims hold beliefs that only the most radical Christians do. And we both know it's true. If a Muslim is against homosexuality and women's rights, we call them "moderate" unless they blow shit up. If a Christian baker refuses to contribute to a gay wedding, we'll call them radical (and probably racist, because reasons) and decry them.
Introducing Islamic culture to western culture is a horrible fucking idea.
Unless the argument is that trucks drive themselves. :/
Whoops, sorry 'bout those facts, Rapefugee and Josh. The German police just released that "terrorist" saying he WASN'T involved. My money is on a neo-Nazi who killed the driver, drove into the crowd, and than got away while his associates called in a tip about a brown skinned man climbing outta the truck...awaiting the stupid tRump tweet about this mess.

No matter how little I think of Leftist's ability to think in a rational, adult manner, apparently there is always room for my estimation of their abilities to sink even further.
For your own sake, I hope you are just trolling the other moronic progs who frequent this site. If not, try not to forget to breathe when you type.
Man, has this ever been one HELL of a discussion thread. Now to throw my 2¢ in:
ReplyDelete"Reality doesn't care whether you believe in it or not."
Hold that thought....
"who it was that was lying when the Ryan budget privatizes Medicare (Trump swore on the stump that he wouldn't touch it or Social Security, and they already have a bill in the works to gut Social Security)"
You DO realize that Trump won't be sworn in for another 31 days, and Ryan is one of the very cuckservatives that the Trump legions mobilized AGAINST? Apparently not; reality is not your strong suit.
"It's sort of sad to watch all of these poor racist suckers get stomped into the dirt by the very monsters they just voted in, but god damn it, we were trying as hard as we could to tell them."
Living in the Marxist bubble of Mexifornia I bet it's easy to miss the news from the actual people involved, but the TEA Party forces which begat the Alt-Right (which Trump just rode to electoral victory) are resolutely opposed to the forces of globalism, immiseration and genocide-level immigration which are personified by Lyin' Paul Ryan, Miss Lindsey Grahamnesty and Juan "Keating Five" McPain (who only got 55% of the vote in his last primary contest). Since you're calling it racist for them to oppose their own extinction, you're going to find a lot more people who refuse to care about being called racist anymore.
Blacks have been net tax consumers since the Great Society; they've contributed nothing and have had all the "reparations" they deserve (and then some). Immigrants come here to mooch off the physical and social capital generated by people whose contributions they can neither replace nor understand. The view is that if these people go away or are compensated according to what they give (which means most Blacks would be in shotgun shacks in the deep South again), the rest of us can get back something close to what we've put in—and only those people actually deserve it.
Since you Marxists have been getting all the other groups to view themselves as racial blocs against the majority, the majority is starting to do the same. Tough noogies. If you didn't want to play by those rules, you should have kept them out of the game. Now you lose.
"James and Josh,
ReplyDeleteYou guys get that this post wasn't really for you?"
You clowns get that this country wasn't really for you, and that we don't care what you think?
"Trump has the fucking nerve to blaspheme by saying he wants to be president for all of America, a united American with a common destiny."
You have the fucking nerve to imply that Obama was that president, when he sent reps to the funerals of robbers and attempted murders while bringing the wrath of the DOJ down on cops just trying to keep society from collapsing under their predations.
But you do leak some truth there, when you say "blaspheme". Anti-Whiteness is your religion.
"This after he has pledged to destroy the PPACA, threatens 30% tariffs against cars built in Mexico, has completely devalued the BLM movement and is threatening to gut the EPA, re-invigorate the American coal industry, renege on carefully negotiated climate deals that the Obama administration worked tirelessly to achieve?"
The PPACA has made health insurance unaffordable for millions of Americans and features "exchanges" which will shortly have no insurance companies participating, the "free" trade deals of the last 30 years have sent American industry overseas without bringing American workers any benefits save the chance to spend their unemployment checks on cheap foreign junk at WalMart, and the coal industry is dead anyway so long as natural gas is so cheap. The climate deals are pointless while Chindia aren't bound by them. Pulling our industry back from China will do more to reduce pollution than anything Zero has done, because US energy is far cleaner than theirs.
Black Lives Matter is a terrorist group which foments riots and violence against completely innocent individuals and businesses. It is financed by George Soros, who is trying to instigate a color revolution in the USA like so many others he's accomplished around the world. BLM is essentially the shock troops testing the boundaries of what they can do against the forces of law and order to violently overthrow the lawful US government (which Obama is not part of).
Soros will fail. Even—ESPECIALLY—if the police and National Guard stand down, US patriots have enough guns and ammo on hand to put down rioters. One BLM riot could be dispersed in half a minute by one patriot with an AR-15. The next time a bunch of "protestors" try to blockade a freeway with their hands locked inside drums going across it, some patriot with a machete and some rope is going to tourniquet their arms, cut their hands off and then muscle the barriers out of the way to free themselves from the protestor's unlawful imprisonment. I'm hoping that Jeff Sessions investigates the command chain of BLM and we see Soros do a perpwalk this coming year, the first of many hundreds.
You've lost by the rules. You think you can win by brute force? Think again.
"I don't think Brown's corpse should have been left in the street on a hot summer day"
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't "left". The hearse sent to pick it up was surrounded by an angry mob and couldn't move. Yes, for hours. The people inside feared for their lives.
This lawlessness won't be tolerated much longer. Sometime soon the mobs will block the streets, and a loudspeaker on a helicopter will announce that they have thirty seconds to clear the roadway. Shortly after that they'll have a whole LOT of bodies to protest—but I suspect that they'll have better things to do.

"MSM is also drawing the conclusion that Americans simply knowing the truth is how you "rig" an election, whereas they feed people misinformation constantly."
The Lying Liberal Media are the master purveyors of Fake News. Mr. Muh Dik of course comes back with something totally lame:
"Show me an actual link to any MSM story that says any of this bullshit."
The whole point is that the LLM have imposed a blackout on it, despite it being out in public for months now. Fake voters bussed in, practically every form of fraud ever used admitted to on video... complete LLM blackout.
The LLM serves its masters, who view the public as sheep. Now go back to your pen. You may become mutton, or you may only be sheared... you earned it. I won't be.
"Diversity doesn't cause intrusive surveillance."
No, diversity plus proximity foments war. The only way to prevent war is to impose massive surveillance and suffocating control. The people imposing the "diversity" are using it as an excuse to impose the controls so they can reap the benefits of picking the winners (themselves and their agents) and the losers (everyone else). When the controls finally fail, you get a Yugoslavia.
"is the orange one going to follow Russia into war with Turkey?"
As if. Trump is more likely to declare that Turkey has twice violated the terms of its NATO membership by its aggressions and the USA will not lift a finger to defend it. A month later, Constantinople will be back in Orthodox hands.
"If you support policies that make life worse for Muslims, LGBTs, and women... sorry, but that does make you islamophobic, transphobic, and sexist."
Of course, you don't care how those policies affect life for me. This makes you misandrist, agnostophobic, heterophobic and sexist. AAMOF, I'm all for Muslims and LGBTs having their own countries so my preferences are irrelevant to them... oh, wait, Muslims already do. Must be a coincidence that they're mostly hell-holes they're trying to get out of.
"My money is on a neo-Nazi who killed the driver, drove into the crowd, and than got away while his associates called in a tip about a brown skinned man climbing outta the truck..."
Of course it is, because you're always praying for the next criminal to be a White guy. Meanwhile, the truck was hijacked in a Muslim ghetto. Odds of the hijacker being anything other than a follower of the Religion of Pieces? Zero. But even after it's proven that he was a rapefugee just like the one in Nice, you'll never admit you're wrong or say you're sorry.
Yo, Rapefugee...so, attack me and ignore the inconvenient fact that ruins your worldview, nice strawman.
ReplyDeleteWhat "fact" might that be, genius? Your retarded fantasy that it was a neo-Nazi who drove the truck into the people at a Christmas celebration in Berlin?
ReplyDeleteGTFO
"Your retarded fantasy that it was a neo-Nazi who drove the truck into the people at a Christmas celebration in Berlin?"
ReplyDeleteIt was said that the writer of Major League was really a Cleveland Indians fan and knew that the only way he'd ever see them win would be to write a fictional story about them. That's how progressives seem to live their entire lives.
The only way we're ever going to see some influx of white-perpetrated hate crimes is for people to invent them. And year on year white perpetrators are committing them less frequently (to the point it's hard to even intent shit anymore), while non-white perpetrators commit exponentially more violence against whites but are rarely charged with hate crimes, just regular crimes.
The only way we're ever going to see a world where climate change wrecks the planet is for progressives to create it via movies and shows and books.
The only way we're ever going to see the world where it's white people the evil oppressors to bring down society, and especially after society falls apart, is for progressives to create it.
The only way we're ever going to see a "rape culture" on college campuses is for girls to outright lie about being gang-raped (notice how regular rape isn't even a good enough story; it's always MULTIPLE white men who did it, not just one lol).
The only way we're ever going to see this white neo-Nazi terrorist, instead of a regular Muslim turned radical, is for it to be created.
Progressives are a giant community of Live-Action Role-Players (LARPers). They're having fucking fun creating the fictional universe, leveling up their characters with the most oppression, and living lives of literal fiction. I give Field credit for being this loony yet still holding down a job. Most can't. They're either welfare babies or dependent on their parents.
And again, Rapefugee ignores the basic fact I first stated, three strikes and you're out. Of course, that presumes he can count to three. Oh, and Josh, for someone so deep in the Echosphere, your fantasies are so conventionally Rethuglican, maybe you need reprogrammed?
ReplyDeleteI suppose you spent some time on that and it means a great deal to you, some sort of GOTCHA. I, however, have no fucking clue what you're talking about.
ReplyDeleteThese aren't my fantasies. These are realities we see. When all those myths about white people and the right-wing don't come true, liberals just create them in their "art" to pretend that their art is imitating life.
They're not alone in doing it. The right-wing does it too, with their B-movie productions about how the ultra-religious professors are being discriminated against by atheists, and how atheists are really stupid and the religious are really the smart ones. LOL Harry Potter didn't delve into the level of fantasy that ideologues do.
The information you provide on this afternoon so rewarding once thanks .
