Can't wait for the conspiracy theory that Hitler is alive to turn out to be true, and he just comes out of hiding, thanks Trump, and takes over.

Imagine putting a fucking bird on your chest for forty years, saluting a piece of fabric, sacrificing your family and shit.
40 years of putting on that clown makeup and they just stick the nose on someone else.
I don't personally believe in what she believes in, but it's perfectly reasonable for someone who grew up during this country's Reagan era to truly and genuinely believe that serving in the military is a valuable and fulfilling purpose that's greater and more important than the needs of a single family.
Maybe it's clown makeup, but wouldn't it be nice to feel some sense of purpose in your life rather than spending it shit talking people on the internet?
What kind of bird, though? Like, we talking a chickadee? A northern flicker?
Asking my Trump-voting Navy dad about this, wish me luck fam
What I've found works in exposing their bias and letting you know you'll never get an honest opinion is reversing the positions.
When news came out in his first term that Trump was having Lou Dobbs on conference call during important meetings I asked my dad "did you hear that Obama used to have Anderson Cooper on conference calls during important meetings?" and naturally he says "of course he would, that's pretty messed up they shouldn't allow that kind of stuff." then I apologized for lying and said "it was actually Lou Dobbs and Trump." again naturally he then changes his tune "oh, well Lou Dobbs is a respectable journalist, that's different..."
Ok thanks dad, I now know I can never trust your opinion. It changes based on whether it's your team or not.
That's normal though. Obviously not saying it's okay, but that's just how our brains work. You're never going to change someone's mind by "checkmating" them like that. You're just going to get them to get angry with you and double down.
"Did you hear biden's son in law was the ambassador to Ukraine? And right after he stepped down from his position, Ukraine invested 2 BILLION dollars with his company? Yeah that's messed up. Oh whoops, it was Jared kushner and Saudi Arabia, my bad."
I hit a guy with that one. I actually got him to say yeah they should investigate that.
Well what did he say
Nothing of value =/
It's always painful to see people we love, especially parents, just succumb to the propaganda. At this point I think we're just uncovering that our parents might just be racist and sexist way more than we thought growing up. Like my mom tells me she's "not racist,' nah she is racist she just doesn't realize it.
For context I'm an elder millennial
Firing imperial Navy commanders is a good thing
Bruh, if they keep doing this, Olympus Has Fallen's plot is gonna seem realistic
(Can we just get Morgan Freeman instead of whatever this dumpsterfire we got?)
I think you mean Civil War (2024).
I liked that it specifically didn't choose a plot that mirrored any current events. It wasn't a conservative versus liberal thing, it wasn't a "south will rise again" thing.
I guess that depends on anyone's interpretation, it wasn't too on the nose, but imo the fact that it was "Ron" who played the president + they were racists against mexicans it can quite easily be interpreted as a stand-in for trump.
But I agree it wasn't trying to be preachy, just showing the horrific consequences of war, war on US Soil specifically
