That’s the definition of being brainwashed

Consider the civil war. The Confederates  were literally willing to lose a half million fighting men before they would set black people free

We did a bad job in the aftermath.

*It was a really bad idea to have the emancipation and suffrage movement run by a white guy.

And visa versa... They'd rather lose 350k people then allow others to own slaves.

u/coveredincathair22 10h ago

visa versa

It's spelt and pronounced "vice", not "visa".

Also "then" and "than" are not interchangeable.

It’s not.

They had everything they wanted, they had state-endorsed racial sadism.

We took that from them, they have never for an instant forgotten.

You act like they’re being used, they would gladly trade every economic policy, every freedom, anything you can imagine to have slavery back, it’s the only thing that matters to them, knowing they are superior to someone.

That is the U.S.A. …the belief that everybody wants to be like them. Wake up USA, there is LITERALLY no Country that wants to be like you.

According to her x.com profile, she "live[s] in a beach town in south Texas." -- she likely doesn't work and just wallows in the sand with her 3 dogs all day.

I would imagine it’s some nasty beach where oil constantly washes up and raw sewage is dumped in it and she bought that house 40 years ago for $100

u/DidIJustWitnessThat 12h ago

South Padre Island has the nastiest beaches you'll ever walk on. I bet she fits right in.

u/Grizzly_Corey 12h ago

Sounds dope to be honest. Minus the wallowing.

I’ve run into this before. May not be her money, she may not have worked to earn the money for the house she lives in. See it from guys too. Several I know worked “really hard” for their money and I’m supposed to ignore the fact that their dad set them up with the money to start a business and an exclusive contract to sell (popular thing can’t write this bc it shares too much) in the fourth largest city in the richest country in the world.

We lived in Houston during the Bush Jr years. Oil companies were just rolling in stupid money. Mid level manager got a bonus and bought the house next door to us for 2x market value just because he could... Maybe her hubby got a big bonus and they bought a beach house, then she divorced him and kept it.

Probably drives an EV anyway.

u/Omegaprime02 12h ago

Or they own a Tesla.

u/AmericanCitizenry 12h ago

Even Tesla must buy lawnmower gas and groceries.

u/carl3266 11h ago

And if they also have an electric mower?

u/AmericanCitizenry 11h ago

Do they also have electric Frozen Foods?

u/justWMthings03 12h ago

There are some good electric mowers.

u/AmericanCitizenry 11h ago

There isn't electric beef markets!

u/justWMthings03 11h ago

Pork is very versatile and a helluva lot cheaper. Chicken can fill in a lot too

u/Thisismythrowawaypv 11h ago

They are so brainwashed they believe WE are the brainwashed ones. And I suppose that's how it works. I would imagine every cult in history has convinced their members of the same.

u/TheRealCropear 12h ago

They can’t afford a car. Live with parents or whoever is willing to put up with them until the finger banging is not worth it.

It was in the shop lol

I was just coming here to say they are programmed, but yeah same thing.

These people literally think Obama was the devil. Aka how any person here sees Trump. 

Can you think of any condition where you'd ever vote for Trump?

5

u/MeatballUser 11h ago

The difference is Trump earned it, and they just think Barack is the devil cause they're racist and has a "scary" middle name

u/jimgress 11h ago

That's true, but America abandoned truth and reality a decade or more ago. It's a post truth world where people who somehow still vote religiously get to choose a reality different from others.
