I mentioned Antifa and she stopped me because she didn’t know what I was talking about. 100% serious there. She thinks she is so much smarter than Trump and his supporters but has literally never heard of Antifa. Then later on in the conversation (if you want to call what we partook in a “conversation” - more like talking to a fricking brick wall), she stated “I would rather be socialist than have a dictatorship like Trump”.

I shite you not, people. These fricking people are that stupid and uneducated. They are so passionately against Trump because they are so uneducated but think they know everything there is to know about America, political systems, and history.

God help us as long as these fricktards are voting.


Edited to add that my wife is the complete opposite from her mom. She’s as conservative as me. Even her veteran dad, who belonged to a union his entire adult life and voted Democrat the whole time, voted for Trump. Even he was converted, so thankfully the whole family isn’t brain dead.

Yeah, one day we were behind a car that had an equality sticker and a Trump sticker. My lefty friend said “oh, the irony.” Still waiting on him to elaborate.

They just completely trust their TVs and wonder why you obviously don't watch the same enlightening programs that they do.



That's seriously 90% of liberals over 60.

CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, and ABC when hearing this smile and look at each other to say “mission accomplished”

If you even think about arguing to a lib, start off with asking what news they watch. Their answer dictates whether you even need to waste your time or not. Anything they say can be countered with a laugh and “you watch CNN, nothing you say is remotely close to reality”

You're first mistake was thinking she cares about your opinion or would change her mind given other underlying facts about whatever you were talking about. They don't actually care.

I honestly wouldn't know how to respond to this. We'd have to pull up YouTube.

Why would you assume that most people "watch" the news now?

What she doesn’t realize is she’s going to get both.

What does this have to do with the pics you normally share?

Don't know how else you could be a liberal these days. You'd need that level of indoctrination.

Best move is to have no lefty friends.

Frankly, they are so divorced from reality there is no way I could be friends with someone so moronic.

My MIL 80 yrs old...no Pix, watches MSM and 60 Minutes and thinks it's Gospel.
Her sister, 78 yrs old...no Pix, watches the same yet is a solid Conservative.

Both are educated and had successful careers. The Aunt actually owned/ran a business in a Man Dominated field, while MIL was a successful Paralegal that worked for the same Firm for years.

Funny how some people can't see through the BS of MSM.

She probably has a “Hate has no home here” sign in her yard and doesn’t see the irony.
