Cracker Barrels are often specifically placed to be convenient for long haul truckers and road tripping families. They provide a reliable familiar sit-down restaurant to pair up with the fast food places in similar locations. An Applebee's or other chain restaurant like that often doesn't really fit into that sort of niche.

So they fill the food service niche Stuckey's used to? That makes sense.

Want to see 4chan talk to freep? Md. high school won’t ‘fall victim’ to ‘okay to be white’ flyers posted by freeper markomalley

"It's okay to be white" is /pol/'s latest scheme to soften the public conceptual image of white nationalism.

Oh, wow. I went to Montgomery Blair High School: it's a majority-minority school with a magnet program. So this is some white teen 4channer trying to lash out because they feel like they shouldn't be a minority.

gently caress them, man. Part of why Blair was such a great school was because the majority-minority situation meant that there wasn't any single one clique to run things.

Yeah, the narrative of IQ is that it’s a true and valid thing (because it was when they were young in the 70s and 80s) that got cancelled by woke political correctness in the early 90s after Bell “proved” the inferiority of black people with The Bell Curve.

So of course regressives are still going to talk about IQ and how their numbers are high (as proven by on-line tests) and that shows their innate superiority even as they rot away without friends and send money to Donald Trump

For good histories on IQ and its hosed up usage and relationship to eugenics, I highly recommend Stephen Jay Gould’s The Mismeasure of Man or Edwin Black’s War Against The Weak.

Nothing is funnier than seeing Freepers complain about Mitch. that evil bastard has been the single most effective GOP legislator in the past half century, blocked innumerable progressive laws, packed the courts with conservative hacks, and set back progress in this country by decades. They should worship the ground he walks on.

But of course they are Freep

If Freep were more interested in effectiveness than ideology, they wouldn't be so gung-ho for Trump

Anything short of Donald Trump trotting on stage with Hillary, Obama, Joe, and AOC in leg irons and announcing that from today forth it's illegal to be leftist and also that he's personally ordering your kids to invite you to thanksgiving again will not appease them.

Freepers, like many right-wingers, have proven repeatedly that they will backflip through any number of flaming hoops if it allows them to both keep their racist beliefs while giving them something non-racist they can hide those beliefs behind.

Even if it's the tiniest thing like using the term "dindu" where they can slide and shimmy through the argument that even though they define "dindus" as people speaking with AAVE, suffering from generational poverty and neglect, and living in high-crime ghettos, they didn't say "black" so it can't possibly be racist to talk about them as looters and gangbangers who need to pull their pants up. After all, Eminem exists, ergo they can't possibly be racist.

Freep, as always, would like a civil war where they are under no threat, have to contribute no action, but get to revel in the glory of their side being proven forever triumphant and strong.

It's so much less than any of that, is the worst part.

Swift was Time's 2023 Person of the Year. Donald Trump is very specifically mad at her because he wanted to be Person of the Year, and has been disparaging her for that reason, and all of that poo poo is rolling downhill and being picked up by the army of MAGA pundit grifters who want to gain his praise / stay in his favor / grift off of his audience.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/donald-trump-more-popular-taylor-swift-maga-biden-1234956829/

So, yeah, some people are worried about some sort of Biden Plot but really it's just so much "Daddy Trump is mad at Taylor Swift, so here's why YOU should be angry at Taylor Swift!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!"

So in three posts in a row:

* White-knighting the poor, misunderstood Senator Joe McCarthy, whose desire to never impugn an innocent man is why he couldn’t stop the Communist takeover
* a long, racist, and classist rant about how welfare is akin to original sin and asserts that because no one is talking about the university-Deep State-military conspiracy, that only proves just how deep it goes
* people actually agreeing that wages suck and that voting for massive tax cuts for the rich is a mug’s game in a forum that 100% supports Donald Trump and the massive tax cuts he gave to the rich

I greatly appreciate the posters who go and pull this poo poo out and format it so that we can gawk, but I have never read one of their posts without lamenting how absolutely terrible and stupid humanity is

If Freep had any imagination, they'd see what a mass deportation would look like: millions of people loaded up by train, concentrated in large camps, with children separated from their families. Since no country is going to take hundreds of thousands to millions of their citizens back, they are going to have to stay in those camps for years. If the US has any reputation after that, it won't have any money, since the federal government will have to feed, clothe and house millions of people.

It would be horrific.

Freepers literally want machine gun nests on the Rio Grande actively shooting at crossers. Their desire for deportation is not because they lack the imagination to understand the suffering. The suffering is the point.

It’s also being pushed by propaganda outlets, because the tankiest posters in C-Spam are also saying that the CIA created and controls ISIS and made them do this attack, they’re just doing it leftishly

It also ties in neatly with the belief that there's no point in making the world any better, because all that should matter is being right with Jesus so that you go to heaven.
