  1. Again, there are millions of loud and proud Christians who are (were?) infinitely less popular than Charlie Kirk. The difference is most of them haven't made a career of owning the libs, with a "Jesus" cherry on top. He allowed people to be their worst selves while feeling good about it.
  2. I'm gonna be honest - I think most people admired Kirk's ability to say the mean things they already felt while intertwining it with some stuff about Jesus that they could hide behind if needed. There are millions of people who fervently defend their Christian beliefs yet this guy is the one they idolized. What makes him different is all that other stuff that we aren't allowed to talk about since he died.
  3. I need better friends.
  4. All he wanted was to live in a World where people are color blind and judged by their actions and content of their character…. and also pilots, congresswomen, judges, and First ladies are only white. Modern day MLK, IMO. At least people in the ‘60s admitted they thought others were inferior. You lie to yourself just to be able to sleep at night.
  5. I was gonna say they were going for the jugular, but well...
  6. They're really going all-in.
  7. o/u 2.5 episodes remaining before the government pulls the plug
  8. I’ll never get over us throwing away this country for Donald fucking Trump.
  9. Real monkey paw shit to all of us who spent 2 years whining about how Quinn couldn’t hit the deep ball.
  10. The frustrating thing about DEI is that EVERYONE understands the underlying concepts, as long as it is in a field where “they” belong. Every single person on this board knows that in recruiting, you don’t just blindly offer the kids who put up big numbers from Katy/Southlake/etc and call it a day. Every single person on this board understands that these big school kids have likely had all of the advantages presented to them to this point and it is not necessarily indicative of future success. Every single person on this board understands the logic behind extending an offer to someone who might have lesser stats now, but could thrive given the proper opportunity. But that’s somewhere where “they” are allowed to succeed, so nobody ever associates DEI with college football. The compounding factors on all of this, of course, is that most people who are generally labeled as a “DEI hire” absolutely have similar/better resumes than their counterparts, yet folks like @Enchubben just assume they must have only gotten the job because of the color of their skin. I won’t publicly call you a racist, but I’ll let your words speak for themselves.
  11. My dad will be devastated to learn the FJB sticker on his beer fridge is now illegal.
  12. I think it’s equally amazing that your think these chucklefucks could have punched it in from the 1 with the game on the line.
  13. Yeah but I bet @Enchubben thinks she has a "lack of brain power", amirite??
  14. "nah, fuck em" - 6 of the 9 people making up the most powerful court in the world
  15. The fucking United States Senator from Utah can openly mock the Melissa Hortman murder and face no consequences. Random private citizens can't even voice criticisms of the life Charlie Kirk lived. We. Have. Lost.
  16. He's gonna be the most hated man in America once Fox News/libsoftiktok get a hold of this clip. But he nailed it.
  17. I don't know who these people are or why they have an audience, but I feel very confident that the existence of this video is a 50 second summary of every single thing wrong with this country.
  18. Again, this is what I thought before Wednesday of last week, but it became very, VERY clear that a lot of people who I suspected were "offline conservatives" knew who Charlie was and cared deeply about him. He is the mainstream, and this country is much further gone than I think any of us realized before last week.
  19. Yeah, I mean I cited the moment of silence but it's not just that specific act. It's the fact that a moment of silence was even deemed appropriate in the first place. Stephen Miller isn't running the stadium operations of the Green Bay Packers. Laura Loomer didn't make the call to use State Farm stadium for the memorial. The average American feels that a good man died last week, a man worthy of national mourning, and the longer we ignore that reality the deeper the hole will grow (and I'm not sure it matters much anymore, anyway.)
  20. The combination of widespread moments of silence at generally apolitical events like football/baseball games (without any kind of pushback) and the number of people who never talk politics on social media feeling the need to mourn Charlie publicly has completely reshaped my perception of this country. This isn't just the MAGA folks who whine about everything, it's the mainstream.
  21. That's what I thought before last week. Seeing the reaction to Kirk's death has me convinced I was incorrect.
  22. I think the issue is that these are not divisive quotes any more. They now reflect the majority opinion.
  23. Talarico still obviously believes most people are good, and this is why he doesn't stand a fucking chance.
  24. After the election, I kept asking myself "is this who we are as a country?" It's easy enough to convince yourself that people were brainwashed or the Democrats fucked up the election or shit was just too expensive... but the last week has proven to me that the simple answer to that question is "yes, this is who we are." We are a country that values the life of a conservative podcaster more than the lives of Democratic lawmakers or children in schools. We are a country that happily lives in two different realities curated by the algorithms in our pocket. We are a country where the media is more focused on access than truth-telling. We are a country that is more concerned with our differences than our similarities. I naively thought that the Democrats just had a messaging problem and that the majority of the country would agree with their ideas if they were just communicated better. I thought that many of the Republican voters just did so out of habit or comfort and weren't truly aware of what their party stood for. That's all bullshit. The liberal viewpoint is the clear minority in this country. The Democrats have lost. When the goals of social media align so clearly with one party over the other (outrage!!!), there's nothing that can be done. We have to accept the new reality, complaining about it now is like going to College Station and complaining that everyone is wearing maroon. @Brisketexan - I'm climbing off the ledge. Not because anything has gotten better, but because there's nowhere for us to even jump. Might as well figure out how to live like this. First step is deleting all forms of social media from my phone. Real life is much more pleasant than life through a screen. I only find disappointment in learning who people are behind their keyboard.
