We're at the point where people are getting liver failure and going blind from massive horse cream OD, and are begging people to get the vaccine and not repeat their mistake.

Anyone who can get the vaccine but hasn't, of course, will assume either deep state shenanigans or "they didn't take enough horse cream"
As a liberal in this exact specific circumstance, I feel incredibly owned. Conservatives are owning me SO HARD by killing themselves with horse cream. Please, whatever you do, stop owning me.

The whole point of the Hot Coffee thing was to get the AO rating so that San Andreas would be pulled from every brick-and-mortar store in America and the moral crusaders could then jerk each other off about taking down a game with massive popularity at the time. I'm not sure if they didn't anticipate the extremely obvious reaction from Rockstar, which was to re-release the game without the offending code, or just didn't care.

Everyone who gets to the level of wealthy Rupert Murdoch is all have the same flavor of brain-worms: a complete and utter obsession towards making Big Number into Bigger Number.

The kid was parroting conservative talking points; Bee asks him about an obvious contradiction in what he just said. Kid stops, says, "that's a good question" and wrinkles his brow up in thought for a second.You can tell the question genuinely made him think.
Mom clocks this and quickly steps in with a pseudo-racist conservative platitude. His brow unknots, his face relaxes and he responds with something like 'Yeah, that's right." Interview continues.

I wish more of these kind of assholes like Ben would write fiction novels rather than nonfiction because it’s 1000 times more illustrative of their internal mental states than them literally telling you what they think is.

I cannot express enough how every one of Ben Shapiro’s most deeply felt insecurities is scrawled all over every page of that novel and it’s protagonist, General Brett Hawthorne, “...a bear of a man, six three in his bare feet and two hundred fifteen pounds in his underwear, with a graying blond crew cut and a face carved of granite.”
I'm six foot three and I'd be fat as gently caress at 215. My family and I on my mother's side also put on weight primarily on the stomach so I'd look even fatter than I actually was... so without shaving for a while, very much like a bear, just probably not the kind he had in mind.

I've had a satirical protest idea kicking around for a while, inspired by this.

1. Pick a graduate-level optional course in law school at random.
2. Advocate heavily for banning it in public schools in a Texas legislature meeting, while emphasizing that it's never been taught there.
3. Get called out on what you're saying being irrelevant bullshit, point out it's the exact same kind of irrelevant bullshit they've already done once.

-anything remotely resembling the function of a gun banned if you're not getting paid specifically by the government to hunt animals
-the abolition of the police, military presence outside our (open) borders and all religious protections with religion itself barely tolerated

Old people being unbearable assholes isn't a new concept, a lot retired into poverty because no one could tolerate being with or supporting them. And many old people are nice as a matter of survival. Except now a growing number of millions have social media accounts to soapbox with, and we're exposed to the hot takes of people who's own children don't want to speak with them.

That, and they were straight-laced back when they were teenagers because they were afraid to defy their parents or lose ties with the community that would guarantee them job security. It was a matter or economic survival, but they always resented hippies and beatniks for cheating the system, running away from home at 17 and being unafraid of the possibility of poverty. And they continued to resent them when the media promoting them as the "cool" ones while they had to conform. As a result of consuming decades of TV and media that told them they were chumps for "conforming", they take to the internet to espouse the sort of anger they're too afraid to express in real life. Sort of like the young marginalized nerds that made up the internet 20 years ago.

It's kind of interesting, there's certain categories of people who are more likely to be antisocial, but only when they're insulated from economic consequences. So teenagers and retirees, but also working adults who command high salaries and can't get fired for being rude. And the people who are unfazed by the prospect of being poor.

I dunno I'm spitballing here.
Mostly yes, but my lifelong Republican grandfather turned against Trump in a big fuckin' hurry when the government shutdown hosed with his money, and he's got a lot more of that than time. Hilariously enough he has zero problems with Jews but he still hates Soros because he never got the memo about it being a dogwhistle.
