Am in a small Trumpy Wisconsin town for vacation and grabbed a pint at a local dive, since when in Rome. Donned my mask, ordered, and went outside, where I was the only one out there. Returned for another round and the bartender asked where I was from since “where do they wear masks like that” and I answered Chicago. Had a terse, but not overly hostile exchange, and then on my way outside he told me to enjoy my masquerade. Right wingers always surprise me a bit outside my young, educated, Chicago bubble ofc, but the more shocking aspect was that masquerade is actually pretty clever, for their campaign of idiocy. Haven’t seen it on freep or corresponding far right media, but I’m out of the loop these days; am I out of touch with the children (who are usually old), or is it a recent coinage, or should the gop be hiring this Irish bartender?

I'm trying to imagine a Freeper watching that show. It's central theme is an individual's ability to learn concepts like empathy and altruism. Basically Freep's opposite. Also a white woman has a romantic relationship with a black man who is clearly her intellectual superior. How do they watch it without immediately collapsing in a seizure?

They don't? The Good Place didn't invent those pseudo-swears. They're not going to watch a show on "liberal NBC" what are you even talking about

You think reality is a circle of salt around my brain keeping witches out?
Yeah, the only time I've ever seen a Freeper even mention The Good Place has been to complain that Elenor and Chidi's relationship was trying to "erase whiteness." So odds are that Freeper just picked that up somewhere, and is one of those people that thinks swearing is a sin, but using similar substitute words fools God into letting you into heaven.

I feel like Freepers would figure out the big twist in the first season of The Good Place, but get there from the worst possible direction. It'd be something like 'they can't be in heaven, because Tahani wouldn't be allowed into heaven'.

I think we all know that Freepers would engage with the concept in about the same ways that Brent does, though.

I maybe phrased that bit wrong. Tahani's actual reasons for going to the Bad Place are nuanced and complex, always doing the right things but for the wrong reasons and in the wrong ways. She's probably my favorite character, because she arguably starts off the closest to redemption and yet has the furthest to go.

But Freep would use her mere presence as evidence they're in the Bad Place, because they can't fathom an outspoken and proud minority woman being permitted into the Good Place.

The only way to prevent another 2 years of chaos is to take back the house and hold the Senate. Anything else guarantees continued chaos. These people do not care about decency... they are keeping kids out of school for an election, they are defunding the police for an election to create chaos, they are keeping states shut down and crushing businesses and jobs for an election.
I suggest we kill all those people for an election.

While this is not the most useful skill known to man, in the current environment, it might be very useful indeed.

I could see this being true but in a different way than the article suggests. He may have referred to McCain and Bush 41 as losers because of their abysmal records as conservatives. He may have questioned the meaning of Kelly's son's death because he may have felt the war in Afghanistan was a quagmire with no end in sight and not worth his son's death. He may have wanted to avoid the cemetery visit because of losers in attendance, not the fallen soldiers.
This smells like a Vindman-type leak.

You know, it’s amazing how Trump couldn’t attend because of rain. For some reason Emmanuel Macron (French President), Angela Merkel (German Chancellor) were able to make it, and Brian Mulroney (Canadian Prime Minister) was able to make it to a nearby Canadian Memorial. Did it not rain on their portion of Paris as well?

They later said that they chose not to drive the 60 miles because it would have interfered with the roads. Obviously, not interfering with Parisian’s commutes is much more important that honoring American war dead.
