I feel like the bigger story here is just how much right-wingers/conservatives HATE America now. Not just "godless commie liberals!!!" but all of America top to bottom. Remember when they used to be the pro-military, pro-FBI, pro-CIA, pro-Pentagon party? They used to just whine about the "Deep State" which is supposedly a shadow takeover of our institutions that works in the dark but is just total bullshit. Now they're just straight up attacking the traditional institutions - the things that actually exist and would point to when you asked them why America was so awesome. You couldn't be more American than Taylor Swift or the Pentagon. Now for Republicans it's "gently caress the Pentagon! They're propping up a corn-fed white girl pop star!" LOL!

Not joking, it's only a matter of time before these fuckers are flying planes into buildings.

That's not a flip state anymore

With any luck their bullshit makes them lose OH too, with WI maps changing the GOP seems hosed there as well.

I was just Loling again about Youngkin in VA right before an election where he was bragging about the GOP taking over everything in VA, started running openly on banning all abortion, taking a shotgun to his balls and dick and destroying his career prospects.

That's an LOL

Youngkin staked his entire political future on that election and failed lmao

You're just wrong. They will install a bunch of political operatives in the positions they can manage and they won't touch the lower-level people. They aren't actually serious about that crap.

I saw them the other day on the forums, on the Terrible Things forum, and they've got a thread there, it's in a subforum with a not-so-very-nice name, it's a General forum, and they have a thread there dedicated to Trump, and the posters come in and they say, 'Trump,' 'Trump,' OK? And they love what we're doing there, and we love them, and it's very good, it's very flattering that all day they're supporting us and our great campaign.

I am never having a child because I do not trust my fellow man anymore, what the gently caress, why do these fucks think they have the authority or right to behave this way

I was recently waiting in line at self-checkout with a bunch of others when a guy walked up, saw the line, pushed to the front, and took the next checkout station that opened up. People think you should just automatically know how important and special they think they are.

Imagine being some random old gently caress driving a lovely Oldsmobile or something down the road and a kid throws an empty water bottle at your car

Some people might flip the kid off

Some people might honk the horn

Some people might go “lol kids gonna be kids”

Some people apparently wait for the bus to come to a stop and try to block its way to demand the right to get onto a school bus and yell at some children you have no authority or right to yell at

And when that doesn’t work, you climb into the front of the bus to demand that the bus driver let you in to interrogate the kids

I am never having a child because I do not trust my fellow man anymore, what the gently caress, why do these fucks think they have the authority or right to behave this way

You’d think that these brainiacs would be doing the easier thing by writing the bus’s number down, calling the school and saying “hey, some kid tossed a water bottle at my car from the bus, better do something about it” and just leave it be. Instead, years of huffing lead fumes and eating paint chips tells them the smarter idea is to threaten the kids on the bus and climb on to the front wearing your hat you got in support of a glorified terrorist organization that enables school shootings.

These people run this country, and it shows.

lol he actually broke the bus door open and then...just yelled at the driver.

"Charging documents state that the man caused damage to the bus and was able to force the door open and get on board. Once on the bus, the man yelled at the driver, police said. At that point, an off-duty officer arrived and was able to get the man off the bus."

When I was a kid in elementary school another school in my district had a kid make faces at another guy driving while on the bus, and the guy follow the bus to the school and wanted to have words with the kid. It was so long ago I’m probably forgetting details but it still stuck with me how crazy that guy had to be, because there is no way to go into that situation and come out looking good.

They NEVER. SHUT. THE. gently caress. UP.

like since 2015 it has been non stop loving whining and hooting and hollering, normal people are just loving tired of their constant whining about loving everything.

Trump has dominated the news cycles for 10 loving years and the GOP and their opinions are now things people associate with their relative or coworker they actively avoid, because THEY NEVER SHUT THE gently caress UP.

I once flipped someone off while I was doing some commercial delivery type stuff, guy in front of me is piddling along at 20 in a 55 zone. He sped off and I lost sight of him. I move along the route and pulled into this restricted area, gated off and everything. Get out of the truck and start getting stuff ready outside this warehouse in the middle of nowhere.

And who should speed up behind me through the gates? The guy I flipped off. He had to be about 50yo, rolls down his window, flips me off, started acting like real tough poo poo taking pictures of me and all that. How he'd post my pictures online and ruin my life or whatever. Dude was a real loser doing all that over some kid flipping him off. He called my workplace but I didn't even get a write up or anything. It was terrifying at the time.

I've never flipped the bird driving since. Honestly, I could have been shot it was a real shithole.

TulliusCicero posted:

I learned that day two things:

Flipping people off is not worth the risk of some lunatics rage, and a lot of Men are EXTREMELY fragile babies, who will absolutely commit violence over a loving obscene gesture that is so common place it's a joke.

Serious_Cyclone posted:

I wonder how much they deserve the benefit of the doubt on treating this like a new thing. The stuff they're up to now seems like an extension of the behavior of god bothering squares going at least as far back as the Hays Code that demanded absurd bullshit like bedroom sets in TV and film that have married couples sleeping in separate twin beds.

Grey Cat posted:

It's really rediculous, I'm not sure what they're ever trying to prove, it just looks like animal noises and chest beating to the rest of us. Like some sort of rabid gorilla.

Congrats, you could beat up a 19yo girl. (or however old I was at the time) Not an impressive feat.

Dapper_Swindler posted:

yeah its that poo poo mixed with the weird terminal online troll culture/cartoon villian poo poo of "bad=good". sure they never believed in the upright morality poo poo and many sure as gently caress didnt practice it, but they basicaly have gone full in on the gospel of faux machismo and /pol/ poo poo. like my dad leans conservative but he taught me how to be an actual GOOD man, its like mixing morality police poo poo with Gen x "gently caress you im a bad boy" nihlism.

They never stopped posting on 4chan and never loving grew up, and never figured out they were the loving joke the whole time.

Yeah, my dad and I were driving once back through a fairly upscale shopping area. Guy in a jaguar cut us off, my dad flipped him off from my passenger seat, the lunatic loving sped through and cut across 3 lanes to yell at us and challenge my 50 year old father to a fight, could have caused multiple accidents, almost ran my dad's Coca cola van off the road.

We could have been shot tbh. I learned that day two things:
