This is such unbridled horseshit. I live in fucking California, and I'm not sure if I've ever seen a Fuck Trump shirt/flag/bumper sticker/whatever in person. I can't go a day without seeing Let's Go B

Did not have former Skid Row lead singer Sebastian Bach talking shit to MAGA cult members on my bingo card. But here we are.

Yep. I was a George Will/Ronald Reagan/Al Laffer conservative.  I genuinely thought that if you cut taxes for the upper classes, then they would spend and invest and the economic result of that w

I thought football was supposed to be a sanctuary from politics?  Oh, wait, from our politics.  Their politics are just fine to bring up.   Funny how that is always the case....

Crickets on conservative boards about bosa. I could only imagine the reaction  if an AA player had a Kamala hat on.

as for Bosa I bet his agent called him asking wtf was he doing unless he wants to be dropped by any current advertiser.

Does he endorse anything?  I admittedly don't pay much attention to NFL football, so I may have missed it, but to me he comes across as dumb and as charismatic as a box of hammers.

I bet any known name makes some advertisement money. Advertisers approach teams and agents with budgets and effectively ask who they can get. Recognizable faces and names are better.  He was defensive player of year, all pro, 2nd overall pick. His ad money isn’t zero.

perhaps he doesn’t have a national ad but few players have that.

That's a face I would enjoy caving in. 

I have a HS acquaintance who posts that asshat's shit on Facebook all the time.  She thinks he hung the moon.  I wonder what she thought about that clip, because she clearly votes.

Oh yeah, she's as dumb as a stump.

Well? And don’t act like you don’t know what we’re talking about.

Probably a topic for another thread, but what is making young white males embrace Maga and racism??

Some of my kids friends are racist little shits.

It makes them feel special without them needing to do anything to justify that feeling. You notice how most of the prominent white men who try to argue that race science is legitimate look like cro magnon freaks? Those guys get to point to "science" and say it proves they're actually attractive and desirable.

Who didn't have their parents' worldview as a teenager? I almost feel bad for them. Hopefully, they'll go to college and figure out that girls don't want to talk about crypto and the traditional family.

Bombarded with right wing propaganda growing up with almost no exposure to differing viewpoints probably has something to do with it.  Yuri Bezmenov out front…

Yeah, that, and I imagine little groups of them form and in typical male herd fashion get off on all of it.  It's an unfortunately currently socially acceptable way to be "naughty" or edgy.

It shouldn't surprise us that Trump's rhetoric has a lot of appeal for adolescent boys.  It's the adult part that's so bothersome.

He was one of eight teenagers who were confronting voters. He was the one that took to brandishing a weapon.  EDIT: I'm sure we will hear from the parents that he's actually a good kid that took a prank too far.

when I was that age, I did some dumb things but protesting a voting location and voters was definitely no where on the agenda.

It’s obviously a confidence of things, but I think they’re also lonely. Most human beings need a community of their people, particularly when they’re young. If they’ve struggled to find one, they’ll do almost anything to stick with one that will accept them. We all know this dynamic. When you find bad ones, even if they’re bad, adolescent men will do almost anything to make sure they aren’t rejected down that one as well.

Should have shot him.  That's what we should do with terrorists.  If he'd have been shouting "Allahu Akbar," they would have shot him right there.  Fuck terrorists.

 

I don't normally carry, although I do own a few guns. If I were carrying and some guy walks up to me or mine waving a machete, that dude would be deader than Elvis.

They're insecure.  They think that they are special flowers and everyone should love them like mommy does, then the world slaps them.  Secure men don't expect to rule their wives.  Secure men don't fear people who look other than they do.  Secure men take responsibility for their own lives and the world around them.  These kids' insecurity drives their hate.  Just like it drives their fathers' hate.

What everyone says especially especially the growing online communities. Bury yourself in videos, podcasts, or message board (e.g., TexAgs politics) and you think anyone even considering a lib idea, is a soft beta. 

Apparently gaming is huge too in that regard.

It's part of the reason why Q/Qanon was so popular - it gave these people some kind of purpose in their shitty lives, it explained why things are the way they are (i.e. "hey, it's not your fault that you fucked around and found out, it's the immigrant/brown person/woman's fault!").  For some of them, it makes them feel like they are a part of something much bigger than themselves (like they are living in a movie).

These kids are the ones who most need a participation trophy, and they are getting it from MAGA/Q/Trump/etc.
