    His looks don’t bother me. His ties to Peter Thiel terrify me. Y’all are focusing on the wrong shit man.

        Yeah holy shit, I listened to an interview with him with a legitimate news outlet and he seemed shockingly reasonable. Then i watched some clips of what he said at republican events and it was the usual awful shit.

        Dude conforms to whatever is expected of him. No standards, no values, no morals. He’s terrible.

      It is even more terrifying to think he is next in line to be president and Trump appears to be not long for this world.

          He is an old, overweight man who eats too many hamberders to last forever.

            Plus he regularly abuses stimulants and appears to be in the middle stages of Alzheimer’s: even if he lives another 10 years I doubt he’ll be in office long before he gets sectional 5’d by Vance.

      I’ve read enough of Vance to be terrified of him. Apparently a lot of Vance’s stuff comes from Curtis Yarvin, they certainly sound the same. But Yarvin has no reason to muzzle himself at all and it’s just the weirdest shit ever.

      Nah, this actually upsets conservatives and I’m sick of pretending they understand words with more than 3 syllables when it comes to politics

      Conservatives don’t deserve nor will get respect moving forward and if they don’t like that they can for the fuck Up, adults will discuss actual problems

        It really doesn’t upset conservatives. They see this and acknowledge it as the affirmation that it is that libs like you are triggered by their epic president and have no argument so you have to resort to name calling.

        They do the same thing back to you and you conclude they can’t understand words with more than 3 syllables back at them.

          I personally know multiple conservatives who this shit very much upsets, actually

          They do the same thing back to you and you conclude they can’t understand words with more than 3 syllables back at them.

          No, I come to that conclusion due to other actions of theirs and treat their words as the useless drivel it is by not listening to them at all and then obstinately repeating my point. I learned it from them, they fucking hate it.

          I literally do not care what those who don’t get upset think, I know for a fact it upsets a decent amount of them and thus I’ll keep doing it to piss that group off, simple as

        Conservative is 4 syllables and they can understand that. Maybe we lost because of shit arguments like this?

      Definitely. Gonna be absolutely insufferable for the next 4 years. Gonna get me some trump pointing “I did that” stickers to put on gas pumps. Gonna whinge and piss and moan about egg prices and bread prices. Gonna make infantile memes and post them everywhere.

      I’m tired of being smart and well informed. I return to Monke.

        This is one of the funniest things I’ve read in a while actually.

      I agree, but that’s not how conservatives work, we’re all fucked, and this is fucking hilarious. We need that humor until we can’t share it anymore without our hands being cut off

      Wrong energy. Both.

      Nazis want to be darth vader. Calling their actions appalling makes them feel like that. Calling them the little baby bitches that they are, and pointing out that fuming and threatening violence in response is exactly what a little baby bitch would do, destroys their cardboard badass theater.

      Hell, even Anakin Skywalker–literally Darth Vader–was a whiny little bitch in the prequels! That’s who they are, and people who mention it help everybody see what they’re really dealing with.

      Look at the man behind the curtain, folks.

      From an outsider’s perspective, it seems to me that the US got here by not being equally as petty. Lie, cheat, defame, appeal to tribalism, argue in bad faith. Populism is the meta and democrats need to get with it, cuz the whole world is on the line.

    Any death metal fans able to explain why I’m making the association between the hat and lolly costume and the music genre?
