I gotta agree with this sadly. I live in in a very rural area on the edge of the pine curtain, and have three vets in my fire department I work closely with. They all think Trump is awesome. They don't research anything, they don't look at anything but fox news or get their talking points from their buddies who watch Fox news. Recently they have been emboldened to attack my stances more, they keep talking about the Beetoh sticker on my car. They just know that when the shit hits the fan, all the POC welfare queens and drug dealers are abandoning Houston and Dallas and headed here to raid their pantries, rape their 50-80 year old wives and whatnot. But never fear because they all have huge arsenals, and carry constantly. Because blowing the shit out of any human who looks sideways to them is where we are. Back the blue!
They are waiting for the meltdown, the civil war. They dream about it, that way they can go out in a blaze of glory defending something? The rural community always has felt demeaned by the urban areas. They tax us to use our money to give to their welfare queens. They laugh at us, always two years behind in fashion or other trends, the poor country cousins. It is all camo, ammo and bling now. The uniform is a gimme cap (usually with at least some camo), a goatee, and sunglasses perched on the bill of that cap night or day. It's crazy and it's sad.
It is like mob mentality now. They have been so stirred up for so long all they can see is rage. It is there under the surface, you just barely have to scratch to get through the veneer. Their anger keeps them from stepping back and looking at what they are doing, and why? Had one of them tell me no one tells the truth anymore, he doesn't believe any of them. But then he goes on this rant about how Trump is a great leader because he takes a stance and won't back down. People admire that. Yep, King waffle never backtracks on any of his stances. Epitome of leadership. But you try to argue and all they have is "I don't want to hear it, no one tells the truth anymore. I don't pay attention to any of it."
Fucking Active measures! You just want to tie them down and make them watch that damn video on the active measures thread. But so many are so far down the rabbit hole, they simply can't accept they might have been duped.
