    Doesn’t that just show young people are informed to the point that American conservatives have to resort to general silliness and outrage to get their shitty base of mainly older generations to vote?

    I think you’re confusing the loud minority for the majority

      Andrew Tate is a role model for millions of boys and young men.

      Okay, maybe they don’t have the context needed to understand that he’s just a rapist who is desperately trying to pretend his father’s abuse was love in disguise.

      But the man claimed he was the world’s first trillionaire. That’s the kind of lie a literal toddler would tell, yet grown men believed it.

      Are they the majority? No, probably not.

      But I can’t remember another group of people so deliberately, unapologetically stupid as modern reactionaries, nor a time where they’ve wielded so much power.

        No, hard stop. Not even fucking close. Your examples are confirmation bias.

        nor a time where they’ve wielded so much power.

        Do you not remember the Christian groups of the… 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s? They always have, you just weren’t informed via the internet about it.

          Articulate the group of people you’re talking about then so we can actually discuss them, rather than you just insisting they’re everything you pinkie promise they were.

          Because you’re awful confident about who they are, what their numbers are, what they believed and how much power they weilded without actually articulating who “they” are in any meaningful way.

            What? That was a direct response to your comment. I quoted you, “they” is from your comment lol. Try reading that again.

            you just insisting they’re everything you pinkie promise they were.

            Do you really think that I have to provide evidence to disprove bullshit anecdotal claims that were never proven in the first place? That’s not how discussion works.

              Okay, so you don’t actually know who you’re talking about, but you’re certain you’re correct.

              I was giving you the benefit of the doubt in case it was a miscommunication and we were talking about entirely different groups of people.

              But nope, you’re just saying any old bullshit with absolute conviction because you want to look like the smartest person in the room.

              Reading back, it’s actually pretty obvious that you didn’t experience Reagan nor the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. You’re just extrapolating your 5 years of adulthood backwards 50 years and assuming you’ve nailed it.

                Lol what the fuck are you talking about? “They” in that context was the “millions of boys and young men” who see Andrew Tate as a role model. This is all from your comment. Haha are you finding it hard to keep track of your fragmented delusional arguments on the internet? Go back to complaining about “people these days” and how much smarter you were back in the day lol.

                  Oh yeah, you’re clearly talking about Andrew Tate followers and have been this whole time. Good lie you fucking clown. The internet has clearly made you smarter.

                    Haha what? You quoted my response to your Andrew Tate nonsense and asked who “they” was. There was no “they” in the part of my comment you quoted, so “they” is from your comment. But sure, I’ll be a clown here, why not lmao.

                    Here’s your comment since you’re having trouble with the technological intricacies of the scroll bar:
