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

I'm saying I'd like to get in my car and ram it into Sean Hannity at high speed.

My dad is in his mid 70s and has held on to his leftist beliefs intact. He rarely watches TV and doesn't do Facebook very often, but I can remember him telling me years ago about how this shit started in the FW:fw:FW:fw:fw age. His fellow olds would forward him complete bullshit and he would reply all with links to Snopes debunkings over and over and over again, and yet the BS just kept coming. I think the problem started longer ago than we generally think. FB and Fox News are just slicker versions of the chain email. 

Definitely started with email forwards. I used to work in Oil & Gas and used to spend the start of my days deleting email forwards for about 20 minutes a day.  Facebook relieved me of those duties.

My dad and I no longer speak bc of his fb habit. He calls me a socialist and a dim and liburl. He claims I want him dead and that what matters is stoping socialism. He’s accused me of brainwashing my kids and that it’s a shame I won’t let him take them to first baptist. His Facebook feed is vile and full of lies. So we don’t talk.

Wisconsin Man Claims He Would Shoot His Liberal Sister in The Face for Trump

“If there is a civil war in this country and you were on the wrong side,” Spaeth said he told his sister, “I would have no problem shooting you in the face.”

The reporter asked if he was joking, to which Spaeth replied: “No, I am not,” he said. “I love my sister, we get on great. But she has to know how passionate I am about our president.”

The fascists will fucking kill you. They tell you with their actions. They tell you with their words.

These people intend death.

Death hilarious.

Great how Hannity’s first words on stage were to the effect, “I had no idea you were going to call me up here”.   He was only listed on the rally invites as a rally speaker.

My guess is that the Fox News brass will punish him severely.    He will be placed on paid suspension on Christmas Day.  In 2030.

A fun game during the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday while visiting old people is "How long can the tv stay off" 

I do this at my parents house. Fox News is always on as background noise. 

I will get up and turn off the TV. Occasionally there is an immediate reaction. "What are you doing?" 

Other times, a few minutes later, my dad will turn the TV back on. Then walk out of the room! It's bizarre. They aren't even watching it actively, but they can't live without it. 

When questioned, they'll say they just want to know "what's going on" 

To which I will reply, it's Thanksgiving, the markets are closed, there's no news. Relax. 

Click.

especially given that Fox News only periodically covers the news.   It's what 80-90% commentary?

Also annoying how the Abolish ICE tag misleads Fox viewers.  It would just move the different organizations back to where they existed prior to 9/11.  And most assume abolishing ICE would dismantle border patrol.  Nope, since it’s not even part of ICE.   Border Patrol is also a much larger agency than ICE.

 I have to admit that I don’t have an informed opinion about ICE and it’s effectiveness but at least get the facts right.

Let's see.  In that Fox screen grab, not only are the four individuals [1] women, [2] all of them  are of a color (brown), [3] one is a Muslim (that I'm aware of),  [4] one is wearing a "turban" (note: emphasis to Fox viewer on what she is wearing) and [5] in the background is the US Capital, further giving credence that these four are going to rule over you, Fox Viewer, so you have work to do in 2020.
