U.S. Politics

The fact that people don't even TRY any more is what gets to me. This was an article on a local news station's FB yesterday.

Multiple comments of "Why don't you name the medication?", "Why are you being so secretive about it?".

First off, read the article. Second, IT'S IN THE FUCKING LINK RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. Prazosin hydrochloride. Is it that fucking difficult?

It is. Even the captions and headlines are tldr.

But going through all the trouble of clicking on the link should remove my cancer.

That article gave me autism, probably.

Empathy or a love of BBQ grills.

Empathy for BBQ grills. No grill should have to see that.

I'm against Vance and religion, but I fail to see how his quote was bad? He hopes his wife converts, but if she doesn't want to she has free will. I fail to see the moral failing.

There's a baser conspiracy theory that they're going to "replace her"with Erika Kirk to secure the figureheads post Trump.

I don't believe in that. Just adding.

I went through a prescription recall a number of years ago. The chemical was described as possibly carcinogenic and an ingredient in rocket fuel. Part of that sentence sounds kind of cool.

He is basically saying she has the wrong religion & hopes she converts one day. Then the "she has three kids & I help out" well that alludes to "women should stay at home with the kids" mentality of the far-right

Am I being paranoid in thinking maybe he is importing Nazi South Africans?

You're not paranoid about the Nazi thing. He also wants to let in whites from Germany because they're being repressed by dem foreigners.

I am a former journalist and know how to vet my sources and even *I* can't verify everything I see. I cannot imagine what it's like for an uninformed person, just a bullet train of shit right down the throat every day.

Yep. As much as I believe the South Park bros are partially responsible for our current reality, thank god they're covering this shit. They're doing a better job than the American media.

If you don't follow two or three trusty sources, you're shit out of luck. That's how I stayed informed on Twitter for a decade and now on Bluesky.

I'm against Vance and religion, but I fail to see how his quote was bad? He hopes his wife converts, but if she doesn't want to she has free will. I fail to see the moral failing.

I don't think the convert statement can be separated from the rest of Vance's schtick. He's still trying to incite a racist pogrom against Haitians. Everything he says in public and online affirms that he's an avowed Neo-Nazi. The man would happily send his own children to their deaths if it meant he could obtain an iota more power.
