The Craig T. Nelson "I was on food stamps! And welfare! And did anyone help me out???" from his appearance on Glenn Beck is still a cornerstone of conservative philosophy.

It’s also parodied almost verbatim on Parks and Rec by a dipshit Pawnee Tea Party crackpot:

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2649404/trivia/?item=tr1887252&ref_=ext_shr_lnk

quote:

During the city hearing to give Pawnee Video Dome Historic Landmark status, one of the crackpot speakers who come to protest it identifies himself as "Wilson Gromling of the Liberty or Die Party." Gromling says, "These government handouts are deplorable. You're just handing out blank checks! I was on food stamps; I was on welfare; nobody helped me!" This is a paraphrase of something that actor (and political conservative) Craig T. Nelson said on May 28, 2009 on FOX News program Glenn Beck (2009). Nelson was widely ridiculed afterward for his hypocrisy, evidenced by the contradiction inherent in saying that he had taken advantage of government assistance programs like food stamps and welfare when he needed them but that those sorts of government assistance programs are wrong and that he never received any help.

I can’t find a clip of it but the character also seems like someone who’d spend their time cosplaying as a patriot and selling sweatshop-made drop shipped t-shirts at huge markups

This is one of my biggest irrational (?) fears while driving.

And I’m sure Responsible Good Gun Owner chuds would watch this and say “this is exactly why you should carry a gun in your car!!!” as though if a murderous psycho like this ambushes you with a hail of bullets, you would have time to retrieve your gun from the glovebox or whatever, turn off the safety, cock it, ascertain where the shots are coming from, and aim and fire back, all while maintaining control of your car while possibly having already been struck by gunfire.

It’s the same insane fantasy logic bullshit where these idiots think being armed in public is the solution to mass shootings, ignoring the fact that by the time they could theoretically do anything the shooter would have had to open fire and wound/kill people first.

I saw the breakdown of this video on a YouTube channel run by a pro gun evangelical Christian and the general consensus on was that unless you're cornered with nowhere to go, evasion and avoidance are the only proper response to a road rager. Even gun weirds will tell you that a car-to-car gun battle is a terrible idea even if the other guy really is a lethal aggressor. Even if you've trained well enough not to limp-wrist it like the d-bag in the video, bullets fired through windshields don't go where you want them to. You'll also be giving yourself hearing damage, inhaling pulverized glass, and have a legal shitstorm to wade through when the adrenaline wears off.

Gun chuds know that they won't be able to stop the first shots if a mass shooting kicks off. Their ideal "good guy with gun" scenario is the 2022 Greenwood Indiana shooting where a mass shooter killed three people in a mall food court before he was gunned down by a concealed carrier. Or the security guard in a Texas church who killed a shooter after he pulled out a shotgun and killed two people.

From what I can gather, the reasoning is "A typical mass shooter has little to no gun experience and wants to maximize the body count, so they target crowded places where people have been less likely to fight back (schools, malls, churches). Since they have the element of surprise on their side, odds are they'll succeed at killing some people, but it's better to have the death toll be single digit thanks to the intervention of a trained CCW, than have the death toll be in the 20s or 30s because the citizens were bound by Soros-funded Gun Free Zone laws. Also, as more headlines emerge of shooters getting merc'd in the first moments of their spree by concealed carriers, other potential killers out there plotting their own massacres will be more likely to get cold feet about the whole thing."

Well, what is really fun is now that Trump is an absolutely essential part of the Republican base, the dumbest, loudest people on earth including racists and Christian Nationalists are a crucial Trump voting block, he absolutely needs them, so Trump is forced at a minimum to play lip service to the dumbest, most unpopular political positions on the right wing constantly.

By all means Trump, explain your position an IVF.

Go tell that to all the couples, particularly the women, who went through the difficult process of having their eggs harvested.

Tell em they should take a stand by supporting the complete shut down of the program and give up on all that effort, those embryos they’ve hung their biggest hopes on, and those 10s of thousands (if not $100,000) of dollars they’ve invested in the process.

The hospital staff aren’t “pussies” for pausing the program, they’re protecting current patients and their staff until a stay can be issued.
