Many of them are the same people who think a podcast made by the former host of Fear Factor is informed and intellectual.

"But he'll interview anyone!"

Knowing the "muh meritocracy" type of people:

They see white skin color as a sign of competency, they see being male as a sign of competency, they see constant smiling as a sign of competency, they see wearing suits as a sign of competency, they see confidence as a sign of competency.

For all these dumbshits talk about military readiness and effectiveness being butchered under Democrats.

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Well they need to prepare the military for domestic use.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Oh the readiness is still part of the plan, it’s just the ‘other’ they’re trying to frame as the new target, trying to fire everyone who won’t put the jackboots on.

Asking my Trump-voting Navy dad about this, wish me luck fam

What I've found works in exposing their bias and letting you know you'll never get an honest opinion is reversing the positions.

When news came out in his first term that Trump was having Lou Dobbs on conference call during important meetings I asked my dad "did you hear that Obama used to have Anderson Cooper on conference calls during important meetings?" and naturally he says "of course he would, that's pretty messed up they shouldn't allow that kind of stuff." then I apologized for lying and said "it was actually Lou Dobbs and Trump." again naturally he then changes his tune "oh, well Lou Dobbs is a respectable journalist, that's different..."

Ok thanks dad, I now know I can never trust your opinion. It changes based on whether it's your team or not.

"Did you hear biden's son in law was the ambassador to Ukraine? And right after he stepped down from his position, Ukraine invested 2 BILLION dollars with his company? Yeah that's messed up. Oh whoops, it was Jared kushner and Saudi Arabia, my bad."

I hit a guy with that one. I actually got him to say yeah they should investigate that.

Clearly an unqualified DEI hire, luckily she'll be replaced by a 'qualified white male'

/s cause that made me vomit.

It's always painful to see people we love, especially parents, just succumb to the propaganda. At this point I think we're just uncovering that our parents might just be racist and sexist way more than we thought growing up. Like my mom tells me she's "not racist,' nah she is racist she just doesn't realize it.

For context I'm an elder millennial

Man, it is hard to find a positive outlook headline lately. I wish it was half as depressing as it is.

Guy who washed out of the seals thinks he's more important than the commander of the Chinese theatre because he was a penis.

To be fair, we have a former actor and comedian as the president. The difference is he isn't a fascist piece of human garbage, not so much in the career paths.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 72 points 2 days ago (20 children)

I ponder that sometimes. I wonder if a comedian has made such a solid leader because a comedian's role to society is to speak truths that go unheard, and to make unbearable times bearable. I find myself questioning if every leader shouldn't be a comedian

I want Pete to go on a 24hr stream and not drink alcohol. Show us you don’t have withdrawal syndrome you sick bastard. Prove to us you are not addicted bro.

Imagine putting a fucking bird on your chest for forty years, saluting a piece of fabric, sacrificing your family and shit.

40 years of putting on that clown makeup and they just stick the nose on someone else.

[–] throwback3090@lemmy.nz 37 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

I don't personally believe in what she believes in, but it's perfectly reasonable for someone who grew up during this country's Reagan era to truly and genuinely believe that serving in the military is a valuable and fulfilling purpose that's greater and more important than the needs of a single family.

Maybe it's clown makeup, but wouldn't it be nice to feel some sense of purpose in your life rather than spending it shit talking people on the internet?

Man am I glad I don't work for the federal government.

Work your whole life for your country just to get fired by a braindead twerp in the entertainment industry.

And spend the rest of your life living amongst the dipshits responsible for that being possible.

Can't wait for the conspiracy theory that Hitler is alive to turn out to be true, and he just comes out of hiding, thanks Trump, and takes over.

"Mein Führer, fascism has taken over the United States government!"

"Excellent news! And who is the strong Aryan superman who leads them?"

Hitler is shown everything about Donald Trump

If we traveled back in time 10 years and started showing people these headlines, they'd put us in a mental hospital.
