    There has to be another factor. My dad missed all of my marching band performances and I’m not a fascist.

      Aren’t fascists historically known for enjoying marching?

        Baseball is the coolest. Dad can show up, get drunk for a few hours, and then drive a bunch of neighborhood kids home without wearing pants, and eating Nachos.

          Ok, but playing baseball is pretty typical. Marching band is a bold choice which is cooler then anything I would give tucker credit for.

          That’s oddly specific, but I’m glad you all made it home safely!

            Oh, I never played sports. My dad didn’t give a shit if I did stuff like played sports, or had friends. Instead he sent me upstairs to stare at a blank wall.

    Young tucker always dreamed of being a Broadway star but his father was ashamed that his son wasn’t more athletic and never attended any of his private school plays, haunted by the memory of the empty reserved seat he lashes out at anyone with a dream.

      Shockingly similar to Ben Shapiro, who seems to have wanted to be a concert violinist and later screenwriter, but had his screenplays rejected and found more luck telling the world that basically all Arabs and Muslims are savages and deserve to be collateral damaged.

      At this point I wonder if Rush Limbaugh secretly wanted to be a painter but was rejected from art school.

          Not sure about his rejected screenplays but uh well he has definitely written a book or two with comically offensive depictions of black americans, and well now he got his dream come true in the most insane way possible and produces movies that are astoundingly tasteless like Lady Ballers.

    Dad shows up to game. He’s drunk again. Laughs at Tucker when he strikes out.

    Never comes back. That’s Tucker.

    His dad might have been the coach, actually.

    My Dad was the only reason I played. I didn’t have much interest really. Missed plenty of games. I resent him but I’m not taking it out on the world

      Unfortunately the low effort political tribalism is likely to just increase as we approach the US elections.

      Just block and move on. You’ll eventually end up curating your Lemmy experience to not include the type of folks posting low effort shit like this.

        To be a human caught up in this echo chamber is suffocating to think about. On the off chance someone appreciates perspective, i dont mind seeing shitposts.
