John Fetterman tweeted a picture of fictional dad Homer Simpson in response to conspiracy theorists who just won't stop believing he uses a body double.
I sometimes wonder if I live in an alternate reality where a significant subsection of the population has gone absolutely insane. The insanity all seemed to take off around 2016.
There’s a town hall video with John McCain around 2008 where an elderly woman tries to suggest to him she’s worried about Obama because he’s not white. John McCain shot her down and defended Obama and stressed we should only focus on the political differences of opinion, and his own supporters booed him. This all had been coming for so long.
Edit: I was corrected, she did not exactly state what her problem was with Obama, but it’s clear that it was bigotry.
If we’re thinking of the same clip, you’re slightly misremembering it. The woman was insisting Obama was a Muslim, and that’s what McCain was shutting down. But yes, the crowd booed him for clarifying that.
It was from at least Reagan. But it was when we elected a black man that got things sped up pretty quick, and then when we elected a fuckind Cheeto that’s when things really got super charged and turbocharged and all the other charging until what we have today
In a weird coincidence a show came out in 2016 before the election called BrainDead and the plot was that alien bugs are eating parts of our brains and causing hyper partisanship.

You are correct. I was poorly trying to say it was bigotry.

I blame social media. Mainlining outrage and confirmation bias through your smart phone is one hell of a way to get high
It really probably was all the lead.

That show was great, was pretty disappointed to see it got cancelled.
Well, Harambe died
Dicks out.
Never went away.
