The Ok Boomer on people was relocating to Vietnam for cheaper cost of living and healthcare was accepting.

Especially how the Vietnamese were friendly with the American vets.

We'll their grampa did Merc like 15 of his buddies and sent his Captain to a camp to have bamboo shoved under his fingernails for half a decade or more. Why should they hold any ill will to a oatmeal brained old chud like that.

Boomers think they lost Vietnam?

They call it a tie and think we would have won overwhelmingly if we'd just nuked them/not reported on things/blame the media and draft dodgers, etc. etc. I remember seeing Platoon when it came out and overheard some old guy saying the thing that bothered him the most was that "we were fighting over there with all these guys doped up".

Vietnam was the first U.S. war that had honest to god real media coverage and embedded reporters with a fairly unapologetic media telling us what was happening.

But, yeah, deep in their hearts they know we lost and that the whole thing was stupid and futile. There was a King of the Hill episode that did a send up between Cotton and his war buddies vs the Vietnam veterans that took a surprisingly poignant look at it. Boomers think our boys had to fight the war too fair and with one hand tied behind their back - playing by the rules - poo poo like that.

This is true, they got their marching orders. Called the chud dad on new years and he brought up what I thought of Biden and how much he hates socialism.

I told him yeah, republicans have been trying to get rid of your social security, medicare, and va benefits for a while now and he got confused.

Republicans and their voters think any democrat is a socialist.

What I usually do when they talk that stupid poo poo and in the event I feel like bothering is ask them how they feel about our socialist military, fire and police departments. Once it hits them that it's actually true they tend to shut up or mumble about how "that's different".

the two questions that i've found will leave a free-market libertarian sputtering and speechless:
1. If the government can pay police to protect us from crime, why shouldn't the government pay doctors to protect us from disease?
2. What is the mechanism that makes free markets efficient?

Some of the Euro libertarians would just honestly say "evolution/survival of the fittest" to both questions (can't have conscious actors interfering with free trade and resource ownership - disease is fine, it makes humanity stronger; markets become efficient through repeated culling of people too weak to run businesses), the fact they're still getting some votes means there are people who will still cling to their views even if you expose their base, abhorrent core :smith:

question #1 is easy to walk around because many libertarians and conservatives are opposed to the police being used for protecting people and insist they should only investigate crimes

Yeah, libertarians really think the police should only protect property, and are dumb as hell so they don't realise that's already their primary purpose

look, if you can get a libertarian to argue that a person's own body doesn't count as their property, and you can't rhetorically grind them into dust from there, i don't know what to say

Yeah that article isnt super relevant to the previous argument as it only concerns folks who voted Trump, not nonvoters, and also has no info on a rural/urban/suburban divide in those voters.

Also the divisions are basically:

American Preservationists: Straight Up EthnoFascists.
Free Marketeers: Closet Fascists
Staunch Conservatives: "Vote Red No Matter Who" AKA: Collaborators
Anti-Elites: As seen above; Low/No Information Voters and/or Political Schizophrenics

Of course he's not, at least until the Democrats have the audacity to nominate anyone to the left of Michael Bloomberg and then he'll be left with no choice but to enthusiastically campaign for Donald Trump's reelection.
