Jeremor posted:I dunno if it's common knowledge to everyone, but Citadel cadets largely suck rear end and make piece of poo poo humans after graduating from their pretend army roleplaying. They're very slightly less psycho than they used to be but it still sucks. It's just sanctioned hazing for an imaginary military. Totally agree. Just sarcastically running with their fake masculine mythology. Edit: like how they imagine everyone in the military is republican and one of six characters from Predator.

Think of it less as "Overthrowing our former Idols" and more of "What Overlord do we bow to now?" Don't forget, W worship has come and gone since the year 2000.

I'm not sure of the history of it, but why do you guys functionally only have two parties anyway? Authoritarian right-wingers are a threat almost everywhere, but I feel if you guys had like 2 or 3 parties for crazies, then the adults could just get on with things without them threatening an Iran style revolution.

FPTP voting heavily favors 2 party systems, tradition, there are other parties but they're tiny and as or more batshit than the Repubs, and finally systemic lock in favors D's & R's over anyone else.

Winner takes all elections. You can have 3rd parties, and they have existed. It just becomes super dumb for one political block since you are essentially giving away an election with 34% of the vote. The state of Maine elected a Trump prototype in 2010 in a legit 3 way race and he got 32% of the vote to win and then proceeded to wreck everything he could.

Edit: I said that as a drive-by joke, but on second thought, it's only a matter of time before some insane person actually uses Junior as an argument against IVF, isn't it?

redshirt posted:Think of it less as "Overthrowing our former Idols" and more of "What Overlord do we bow to now?" W’s shine wore off almost immediately after his re-election. First he faceplanted with the “let’s privatize social security!” tour, then Katrina, then a bunch of other poo poo, and finally the entire economy free-falling in 2008. Trump is a master con artist. He lost his re-election and instead of conceding and going away like a normal candidate/politician, he convinced his followers he was cheated. If he loses again, same poo poo, and they’ll never have to admit they were wrong. That’s very powerful, apparently, and the chuds are never going to let that go.

Living through that poo poo was hell. I have a theory that a lot of millennials turning away from religion has a lot to do with the way religion tied itself to Bush-era politics. When Bush became fallible, so too did God.

Ralph Hurley posted:In 08 soon after Obama was elected I saw a child sized mannequin in the window of an upscale clothing store wearing a denim jacket that had the HOPE poster image in sequins on the back with a ~$500 price tag. I wondered what kid would want to wear that but I figured people were still super stoked about Obama winning, enough for someone to want to design an extravagant jacket. Certainly there was never a whole industry of tacky Obamawear like there is with the MAGA poo poo. This is some selective memory stuff, because I absolutely remember lots of people wearing Obama gear. I do live in the South so it was mostly POC wearing it, but it was everywhere for a while.

Definitely not the way I remember it. W was only "worshipped" as the figurehead of the institution, but not personally like Reagan / Trump. If you want to stretch the analogy, he was a Prophet, not a Messiah.

Yeah it got pretty ridiculous post 9/11 for a while. Never really got to the levels Trump has cultivated but he was still seen as pretty much above all legitimate criticism for a few years, I was in my early teens and remember even MAD magazine started pulling their punches, I distinctly recall the first issue with a bit making fun of W post 9/11 being prefaced with an editors note about how even though this bit makes fun of Bush's first year in office he has since proved to be a wise and competent leader and that was so off tone for MAD it's stuck in my head ever since.

Going to quote this cause that report that said Biden couldn’t remember when his son died caused absolute panic and doom in this thread. And as it turns out, like always, its bullshit. So, so, so many people tripped over themselves to doom post about it, and its bullshit. Stop.falling.for.Republican.bullshit. No wonder the average American has issues with believing bullshit. Y’all know better and still fell for it!
