I know you’re joking about the military and “wokeness” but let me tell y’all a little story. My son has been in the Marines around 18 months. COVID absolutely destroyed his path at Troy - he’s ADHD

Nobody said if you get the vaccine you won't get covid, you lying sack of shit. 

It's fucking crazy how truth and reality on the right are manufactured via the relentless repetition of lies.   

The idea that three years of data are somehow validating far-right anti-vaccine shit is INSANE, yet they repeat some version of "the vaccine is unsafe" constantly.   

Same thing for Mueller and his carefully documented report detailing months of high-level secretive coordination between Trump's inner circle and the Russian agents who were decidedly anti-American and delighted to undermine our democracy... 

And now you probably couldn't get through an evening of Fox prime time without hearing some version of "and we all know how vaccines turned out to be a scam" and/or "and we all know how Mueller turned out to be wrong about everything."

And the audience nods along - so happy and self-satisfied to be so much smarter than the lame stream media sheep.

The Crooked Media guys had an interview with Obama this week talking about various things, but one of them was how to talk to voters about the importance of the next election and having democracy in the balance.

Obama, of course, went on a long diatribe about how to talk to people first about things they believe and finding a way to show them that you hear them and that we can all come together to solve these issues, etc, etc, or some crap.  I'm not saying he's wrong in a sane world.

BUT I am saying I don't see how that is possible when these people literally don't believe reality.  If we can't agree on an objective reality, then the argument/discussion is over.  This is what Fox News and the right media in general have done.  They have destroyed what chance we had at reversing the polarity of our current situation.

There is no way to debate, discuss, or even reason when the opposing side does not acknowledge the same reality.

 

 

ETA:  I'm not even just talking about the far right crazies.  The false narrative of reality bleeds over to centrists and even some Dems.  There was a recent poll that said something like 59% of voters, across the spectrum, believe that Biden has profited from his son's clandestine business activities, despite not a shred of evidence.

Aside from the horror of everything, this is my favorite thing happening in the simulation.  They are the dog that caught the car and they have no fucking clue how to un-catch it.

And see, the tricky, slimy DEMON-RATS are convincing voters that the GQP wants to ban abortion in functionally all circumstances by the slimy, underhanded tactic of.....quoting GQP official after GQP official saying exactly that.

That's just dirty pool!

This seems kind of timely. This was posted yesterday:

”This isn't just happening with diapers. It's happening across our entire economy. Inflation rose 14% between July 2020 and July 2022. But corporate profits rose by 75% over those two years — five times as fast as inflation.

Remember when the media said “greedflation” was a fringe theory? Now looking back, it’s undeniable.”

Well if we don't let our corporate overlords extract wealth from young parents, the socialists win!!! Or something like that, right?

Apparently I'm franchising sock accounts now lol. Every accusation from those goobers...

What I still can’t figure out is why they think corporations are these benevolent entities that are just trying to make a living!  Just good ol capitalism as it was intended!  
 

Is it really because they think one day THEY might be the insanely rich CEOs?

They don't think that, they just think Econ 101 actually described iron, inviolable laws that dictate how the world works.

Fox News is usually on in the kitchen at our office and I just walked in to see a segment in which all those idiots that sit on the couch for their show were bitching that gen Z kids were too sheltered because they didn't want to talk politics with their family at Thanksgiving.  This shit is just pure boomer brain poison.

One of their main headlines is “Multiple children among 5 stabbed outside of school in major city”

Ireland.  The school was in Ireland.

 

Well duh. If it were in America it would have been multiple dozens of children slain by semiautomatic weapons. NRA and Republicans out front should have told you.

I spend an inordinate amount of time in grocery stores and see what has happened with prices. Greedflation is absolutely still happening and it is sickening to me.

If you go ask our surly small business owner brain trust, its those firms GOD GIVEN RIGHT to exploit the fuck out of their customer base and charge any price they want. Because if they price too high, the Almighty Market will surely correct the behavior - and the firms definitely won't just all raise prices at the same time operating as a soft trust
