Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

[MDS]

this is how, in very short time, youre going to get a sizeable portion of the republican base believing that nothing actually happened jan 6 and it was an atifa creation

I work for an Arizona company now so I figured I might be talking to my fair share of conservatives - in general it's an amazing group of people give or take one or two old heads who I can tell are terrible.  there's this one old white guy, nicest guy as can be, super smart like one of the 6 people in the world to do what he does - ends his calls with love you brother, etc.  honestly my favorite person to shoot the shtein with.

saw him on LinkedIn yesterday giving props to the my pillow guy.  the cult runs deep.

[Diomedes]

ouch

hate that..you think you marked a dude as cool...turns out he's a satan

thought I had a decent connect with an architect recently...turns out he's a shyster of the first degree

[phattymatty]

yeah it sucks cuz he's the type of professional dude who would never even think to talk about politics on a biz call -  I could tell him I'm a raging commie socialist and he'd probably say good for you I still love you brother - but now I have this in the back of my head, judging him, and I feel like the bad person when he's the one with terrible beliefs.

trump really has taken us back years.

[ice grillin you]

as bad as it is now it was way worse 50-60-70 years ago....like not even in the same galaxy close...shtein the 90's were worse

trump didnt take us back as much as he unleashed with a raging fury the ones that want to go back

[Diomedes]

I kind of appreciate Trump for calling the Nazis out into the open.  Now it's easier to identify them. 

It's like, who do you feel more comfortable with, the icehole who flies the confederate flag from his truck, or the one in the minivan who keeps his affinity for the kkk private?  I kinda prefer the former...no need to wonder whether or not he's the enemy.  It's clear.

I just moved to MD and the number of BLM and rainbow signs in front yards on my block makes my heart warm.

i dont really have a strong preference as i dont come across any of them anyway but i kinda liked it better when they were all in their bunker and not heard from...like id rather never see a trump car flag again

im with this...good to get them all out in the open. we knew they were there and now we know who they are

[PhillyPhreak54]

Same. They get to wear a cheeto colored mark on them so we know who is batshtein crazy.

Same for me as Matty - I have relationships with customers who are the same as his coworker. But now I look at them differently than before because of all this shtein

OK PA squatters:  Tell me about John Fetterman.  All I know is his Twitter feed.

Him and his wife are living their best rockabilly lives in an old car dealership.

fetterman is legit. i find it hard to believe hes going to lose in nov 2022

he primaried the incumbent lt gov in 2018 which is pretty tough to do
