Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020

[Drew S.]

Victims of circumstance? They choose to segregate, they choose to vote against their own self interests, they choose to hate everyone who dares think or look different than them. They think they are the hero of their story and we are the enemies at the gate and they have thought that way since 9/11. they aren't victims, they are ****ing terrorists.

They aren't misguided, they are ****ed in the head and we spent way too much time ****ing lowering the country and the discourse to their level in the hopes of keeping them from going off the reservation. We offer them education they spit in our face. We offer them better roads and stronger forms of communication and they use it to threaten us. We give them access to real medical insurance and they call us traitors. We set up safety nets to protect them and they protest against them and call us all Communists. We make rules that protect them from "job creators" ****ing them over at work or putting them in harms way and they blame us because those **** jobs that kill them are shut down. We offer to help them to find new jobs and they turn away. We offer them a voice in politics and they ****ing break into the Capitol, destroy it, steal stuff, threaten to hang 2/3 of the order of succession and pizz and ****e on the ****ing floor. We literally shut our lives down over a virus to protect them, wear masks to try and open things up and make things a bit easier, make the vaccines easy to access all over the country and they ****ing refuse to take it (despite them praising Trump for it) and assault people over masks. That isnt misguided...that is just being ****ing Anti-American ****heads.

Stop pretending we live in the "Good Ole Days" (which were never that good) and wake the **** up Drew. The second the GOP gave these people an actual voice they infested everything and turned a party of Plutes into a party of straight up Fascists. They don't care about the rules, they don't care about society and they sure as **** don't care about us. They want to burn the whole ****ing thing down and do it in the name of an America that only existed in 1950s sitcoms and BS stories about the Old West. They assault cops with Blue Lives Matter flags for ****s sake. They don't live in the real world and they dont want to.

I mean it more in the sense that the vast majority of them were born into the life they lead moreso than they chose it. Let there be no doubt that there is a huge maturity deficit right now with them(among other things.) I think with a lot of them if they were raised by you or a lot of others on the board they wouldn’t be acting like complete knuckleheads. Maybe I’m way too big of softie.

Drew, we are not the ones yelling and swearing at school board meetings around the country, threatening school board members with violence simply because they are considering policies that we don't like.

We aren't the ones threatening public health officials with violence, simply because they are considering policies that we don't like.

We aren't hatching plans to kidnap and potentially execute governors of states simply because they enact policies we don't like.

But somehow, this political divide is all our fault. If only we would do more to understand them and their concerns. To reach out to them and understand why they feel the way they do. To placate them and their poor hurt little feelings, no matter how imagined?

What obligation do they have? Nothing? None of this is their fault? They're just poor downtrodden folk, tired and frustrated with the liberal elites always talking down to them? If only the libs wouldn't do that, then everything would be peachy? They're just worried about their jobs, and being able to feed their families. Economically anxious.

Well, most of those people arrested for Jan. 6 were pretty solidly middle class, many of them well above that. Good jobs, good incomes, nice suburban homes, many of them owned their own businesses. What were the issues that aggrieved them so? Why were they so angry, so hostile that they could be driven to do the things they did?

Open your ****ing eyes. Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to talk down to you.

Drew: “There would be no problem with incels if you ladies would just be nicer to them, date them, and put out once in a while.”

****, no.

As I said, they aren't all poor ignorant rednecks who don't know any better. You do yourself a dis-service by labelling them as such, as well as glossing over the problem.

Talk about the elites talking down to them.

"It's not your fault, you're just an ignorant redneck. You can't help how you were raised"

I’m sure most of them would absolutely HATE it, but in a lot of cases it’s true. Keep in mind I grew up in an area that now has a lot of hardcore Trumpers.

****, no.

It’s not being nice as much as if they spent meaningful time with smarter people there would be a better outcome.

Meanwhile, in Florida...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday that the state's new surgeon general will be Joseph Ladapo, a UCLA researcher known for opposing evidence-based mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and lockdowns.

Instead, Dr. Ladapo advocates for the controversial idea of embracing "the reality of viral spread" to achieve herd immunity.

"Florida will completely reject fear as a way of making policies in public health," Ladapo said in a press conference Tuesday after DeSantis announced his appointment. Fear, he said, has "been unfortunately a centerpiece of health policy in the United States ever since the beginning of the pandemic and it's over here. Expiration date: it's done."

Logically watching people die in filled hospitals in a preventable manner is just fear. Got it.

As opposed to just getting a vaccine and ending all of this death.

But darn that Joe Biden for politicizing the AFA Board of Visitors. Why do Dems hate America?

At this point, it’s up to people like you to do something about it, not the rest of us who have tried for decades to point out the folly in their votes.

But voting with the NRA, churches, and whatnot for single item votes has pushed that from ever changing. Given that YOU have voted for single items, this is your fault, not ours.

[rufus]

I’m sure most of them would absolutely HATE it, but in a lot of cases it’s true. Keep in mind I grew up in an area that now has a lot of hardcore Trumpers.

So go talk to them about how they need to be mingling with people outside their spectrum, and then everything will be ok.

We've been trying for 40 years to help them make better lives, and they just yell, " **** off Commie socialist" , so why don't you put all your concern and " I read a good article" to work.

Be sure to let us know how it goes.

Oh, so they could make fun of them for being such dweebs, and they don't need none of that fancy book-learning, cause they've got that good ol' down home common sense, which makes them a damm site smarter than any coddled by his mommy college boy
