i wish resurrections were real. i’d resurrect the entire WWII generation just so they could kick their children’s teeth in for what boomers have done to this country and how stupid they’ve let themselves become.

I am at a point where I seriously ask myself on a regular basis why I don’t just come up with some scam to defraud people like this and take their money. Just abandon all those pesky personal ethics and separate these rubes from their life savings.

Been saying that for years, they bitched about jobs. It’s called your fucking public library and research motherfuckers. If these horrible Mexicans can take ur job and work for less pay than you did. Also, bitch to your boss, not the immigrants that are doing the work. They are the ones taking your jobs away not the…

The same people you hear that refrain from, “because this is where we’ve always lived and why should we move or do something so that we can make money, they just need to bring the jobs back” are the same ones who say people in countries with famine and drought should just up and move someplace else.

They believe in ‘bootstraps’ for brown people and millenials, but not for themselves. When they’re out of work, all these companies should just bring entire factories back to America despite the fact that it’s not cost-effective. When PoC/millenials want a living minimum wage, we’re spoiled brats asking a companies to…

LeVar Burton: teaching a generation to not take his word for it.

When Obama ran the first time Bill Maher (granted not the best source but I thought this was pretty spot on) said something like, look if you have to blacktop driveways for a living for your brother-in-law’s shitty side business while Obama decided to go to law school, that’s not Obama’s fault.

Every time some average Joe Trump voter bitches about what Trump is doing to screw over the middle class and working class, we need to remind them they voted for this. I can no longer be sympathetic when red state residents realized they’re fucked because they do it to themselves over and over and over again.

I definitely think that is some of it, for sure. Although, I was told to question everything, but it was in a history class taught by a very liberal person. I’m from the South, so there is also this authoritarian thing that goes on down there in addition to everyone’s desire to conform. (Oh, and these are the same…

...kind of like how nobody seems to care that Petraeus leaked a bunch of classified info to his gal pal but Hillary needs to be locked up despite the FBI never being able to prove anything.

You know what I think created a lot of this? Our educational system. We send generations of people to schools, and they’re told to listen to the person at the front of the room and what they say is fact. So they get very used to the notion that they just have to sit there and get told stuff. How many teachers did you…

I read it elsewhere, but if mental gymnastics were an Olympic sport, we’d clean up in medals.

I don’t know if my father supports Trump or not, because I haven’t spoken to him or my mother in 5 years, for reasons that predict the high likelihood that they are Trump supporters.

...because selling a CURE for CANCER wouldn’t have made them any money?

Fox News did a good job of training them to believe lies.

I read shit like this and think every house in America needs to be tested for lead in the water because I can’t imagine people could be so stupid without an explanation.

I’m not surprised by this in the slightest. I don’t know what happened to this generation of people as they were growing up—if it was just constant propaganda-ish narrative delivered from the media on trusting everything that was published anywhere—but my father, who is probably only a few years younger than the main…

I’m super fed up with facts not mattering. That everyone deserves their own opinion even when it’s counter to reality. All you have to do is google what you want to know, there’s a crack-pot for every lid. Experts are denigrated for being ‘elite’ instead of being appreciated for their knowledge and hard work.

I seriously don’t know how to fight something like this.

Not to get all tinfoil hat-y, but you can pretty much blame a good chunk of this election result on Facebook and the spread of fake news. People spot “news” that agrees with their own beliefs and biases and immediately accept it as legitimate. Angry, old white people seem incapable of spotting fake news.
