      2020? They’re still big mad at fucking Hilary. Hatred like that has got to be bad for your health you’d think.

        Many of the older ones still have a chip on their shoulder on what they think “the media” did to Nixon.

          Nothing more than autocorrect and a lack of caring enough to edit it after it posted. Also playing on this phone: bad Capitalization, concatenating “and a” to all kinds of grotesqueries but usually Anna, and aggravatingly confusing there, they’re and their despite me knowing god damned well the proper one to use. It fucks up at least one word per sentence, sometimes every fucking one, and frankly I’ve given up on catching them all.

      Literally the whole point is to sustain insanity until they purge the rest of us.

      As much as I don’t agree with them it’s a bloody masterclass on how to reach a commincation overwhelmed public that are constantly bombarded by media and advertising. Throw in the Internet on top of traditional means and most humans can’t handle the volume and the ones that can are usually looking deeper.

      Where they are great at is cutting through the noise with the speaking at a grade 4 level, the sounds bite lies and name-calling get through and stick for those not really curious about more than what they already perceive as reality. Anything more is mental work, even bigger words let alone the ideas that have depth and more to them a simple one line description. Many just aren’t up for that task of going deeper unless its because of a painpoint like a bad event in their life, but even then they are looking for someone to blame as we are all right in our own minds. They are given easy outs on who to blame with cute nicknames and various other lies that explains why it’s not working for them.

      When the time comes and things have gone too far where we can’t go back, some of them will be like we didn’t vote for that or think of how it would turn out. For many its all been a big joke to laugh at.

      In some ways it’s too bad the older decaying generations are living much longer. Many stopped learning after high school and are still living in mentally in the places they first found love and their adult lives. As a result they see the world from that moment of time with that mindset and can’t handle the changes that every generation wants to bring to the table. Not saying those changes are right or are the right way to go forward, but the status quo isn’t working that well either for many despite how easy it is for many to stay there mentally.
