Are people really falling for this "join the resistance" poo poo? Like, sincerely believing it?

It's the dumbest most cringeworthy poo poo.

Whenever someone is like "I'm with #TheResistance!" I just feel so deeply embarrassed.

The thing about Resistance movements is that you actually fight people and die. And you know, the French Resistance didn't brag about it in the open, because if they did, the Nazis would kill them. The thing about a Resistance movement is that it's secret you doofs.

It's grown adults pretending that they're revolutionaries, but at the end of the day, that's it. They're playing pretend and doing nothing but inflating their own self-worth. It's beyond pathetic, delusional and it's a mockery of people who gave their lives in WWII fighting the Nazis.

The hosed up thing is that the 8 year old meme might not be a complete lie. I live in a turbohippy college town and most people with kids here are slamming them with social justice ed 24/7. It's like a bizarre mirror of pageant moms where everyone is trying to have the most woke feminist toddler in the world.

I took my girlfriend home for Christmas and she was baffled at 12 year olds actually playing with toys. Like the kids all bought Nerf guns together and she thought it was weird that preteens joined in on it.

I really don't know where you could get that idea. Hillary is a feminist icon, she's extremely popular with young feminists and those who think that it was finally time for a woman in the white house, rather than keeping up the status quo. There was no better candidate for a progressive platform than Hillary Clinton, imo

Funny thing about lead in plumbing is that we also used it in lots of very stupid places until rather recently and have poisoned ourselves like the Romans, though admittedly not as badly in most areas.

There was lead in all kinds of poo poo used in plumbing all the way until 86 and I think some of the brass stuff may have had it even longer?

Basically we are retarded as a species.

It's the baby boomer liberals and old white 2nd wave feminists who were so far up their own rear end over hillary that they were getting mad when she was rightfully challenged over things like facts and reality. I think many more younger people, liberals, leftists, and all brand of feminist, even ones who came around to settle on her just because they (wrongly) felt like she was a better option over Donnie did realize Hillary was full of poo poo and lying more often than she was telling the truth.

I didn't know it was possible to laugh as hard as I did when the whole DNC leak happened and everyone behind Hillary poo poo their pants, not because they had been fraudulently accused of anything, but merely because they had been exposed. drat YOU FOR REVEALING THE TRUTH ABOUT US, they shouted from the rooftops, bizarrely making no attempt to claim that the leak was false or in any way fabricated.

You know your country is in for hilarious times when your politicians even forget how to lie about poo poo.

Anyone who paid attention to the 08 primaries was not surprised in the least. I remember when Florida and Michigan moved up their primaries which was against the DNC rules, so they punished them by saying the delegates wouldn't count. Obama was like "hell yeah, ok" and didn't campaign there because rules are rules. Hillary said she was fine with that too....until she started losing to Obama and then it became ::cry:: IT'S NOT FAIR! THESE PEOPLE DESERVE TO HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD! WE HAVE TO COUNT THESE VOTES THAT WILL GIVE HILLARY A TON OF DELEGATES AND IT'S TOTALLY FAIR EVEN THOUGH OBAMA DIDN'T EVEN CAMPAIGN THERE BECAUSE OF THE RULE VIOLATION ::cry::

Watching the DNC meeting where they decided to just split the delegates from those states 50/50 and give them to both Obama/Clinton was amazing theater. Hillary supports shrieking and booing and having to be escorted out of the building.
