    I didn’t ask to read this post. This post asked to get in from of my eyes. In not saying reading it was right, but don’t try to make this post bigger than it was.

    It’s always fun to see people who learned how to debate from posting online bring that energy to real life. Just a fun reminder that sometimes learning something can actually make you more of an idiot.

    Sometimes I’m really thankful that my brain was already mostly developed before the Internet became popularized. Lord only knows what my autistic ass would have done with all the terrible information available nowadays.

      I feel like these people are idiots to begin with, and the fact they learned just pointed then into a different flavor of idiocy

    I often think that there’s no way a man could possibly achieve levels of douchebaggery so high that he sends a message like this unironically. Then I get in my car and see large pickup trucks behaving the way they do.

    Someone trying really hard to ignore the transitive symmetric property.

        Do conservatives still say that? I remember Dubya saying that decades ago - and my wife and I still laugh at that occasionally. Anytime we have a minor convenience it’s because someone hates our freedom.

          Usually not in those exact words. But everything adjacent to those words. Ben Shapiro repeatedly makes the comment that liberals hate America. Except he can’t say liberals. They’re the radical left. They’re Democrats that hate America. Their DSA the hate America. They hate its abundance. They hate its progress. They hate its free markets. Unfortunately, one of the good things about Ben Shapiro is he does specify who “they” are. And he calls out people who don’t specify who “they” are. It’s one of the only good things about him.

            I always find this stuff funny, but it sucks that so many people hear it and take it seriously. The idea of anyone that doesn’t vote Republican just hating America because of our abundance, progress, or freedom is just ridiculous. But I suppose he can’t go out there telling the truth or he’d lose his audience.

            It’s like those graphics you see on Fox News about the “radical left” ideas like free healthcare and affordable housing.

              He is losing audience. The Tucker/Fuentes right are cannibalizing his audience. Becoming a Trump Supporter didn’t help him because he did it right before Trump supporters started thinking Trump wasn’t radical enough.
