It’s actually still totally awesome, you just have to remember to have fun.

Move to West Virginia, we need more people like you. I just got a beautiful Serbian made AK, all I had to do was wait for it to be shipped over and pick it up at my local gun shop. 15 minutes for the background check which is essentially no felonies, because I have an extensive misdemeanor record from when I was young and wild. All I had to do was listen to the workers and customers spout bullshit conspiracy theories and talk about the latest Joe Rogan episode. Small price to pay.

Even my wife, who was previously anti-gun, bought a 9mm. Interesting times.

Is you is, or is you ain’t my constituency?

Now that would be the moment, everyone under one roof, to do some grassroots politics.

Fighting for equal rights versus drifting with the tide of religion and right wing politics. They got old. They’re tired. This way is so much easier. And I’m assuming they’re relatively wealthy white people so probably nothing will happen to them.

Live babies in poverty make great dead soldiers though. Have they forgotten this?

It’s no surprise, but what confuses me is why they would want to kill off their most loyal supporters? Maybe they really are all in on no more fair elections so it doesn’t even matter if the rural poor die or become homeless

I like your optimism. I don’t think anything could change these people’s minds though. Somehow they will be convinced Obamacare took away their Medicaid, and Trump is working his ass off to fix it, but all these regulations and taxes and government employees are gumming up his operation.

Just watch… Like I said I like the optimism. Hopefully one day I can call some of the hundreds of thousands of hicks in my state comrades.

They know it. They deliberately conflate being against the Israeli government and being antisemitic.

I was about to say that catholics aren’t as politically fucked as the evangelicals, but I looked up the data and the difference is down to 5%.

When I was young and personally knew some catholics, they seemed so much more fun than the stuffy evangelicals. Their parents voted for Democrats and were much more permissive with their kids compared to protestants. Either my experience is fairly unique or catholics have changed.

I know evangelical and protestant don’t mean the same thing but at least where I grew up almost all the protestants were evangelical or worse. Yeah it gets worse.

Please forgive the source, it doesn’t appear to be biased.

Or elitists that make something significantly less bad impossible because they can’t have blood on their hands.

The people who didn’t vote have more blood on their hands than the ones who voted for Kamala. Basic practicality for the common good is disappearing, just like the capitalists wanted to achieve with their think tank wedge issues and culture wars.

I live in a highly religious part of the country. 79% of the state is some form of christian.

I have had several conversations with people here who do not comprehend that catholics are christian. In fact I even had an argument about it here on Lemmy a while back. I wonder if someone will pop out again to try to tell me that catholics aren’t christians.

To be fair, they all should.

Does the Pope shit in the woods?

His potential neurodivergence does not excuse the evil. The majority of autistic people comprehend morality.
