I got to the 9/11 Bush Administration section of The Evangelicals and Fitzgerald is going through some of the “greatest hits” of the era. I cringe at the thought of explaining to my son what the 00s were like

The 60s almost make sense the further you get away from it because it was an extension of the 50s struggling under a jewish cultural revolution. The further you get from the 00s the more absurd it seems.

@borzoi One of the craziest features of contemporary politics to me is how many oven middle class huwhite libtard Boomers and Xers are completely stuck in ~2006, like they're making smarmy jokes about Rumsfeld "unknown unknowns" at the Whole Foods checkout line

@borzoi >explaining to my son what the 00s were like"Well son, 9/11 happened and everyone stopped hating each other for a few weeks, and even the midwesterns supported New York City. After that we all hated Muslims for a while and had to pretend we didn't."

@DK_Dharmaraj @borzoi My X-er friend made one of those recently and I didn't know how to take it, so I just rolled and played along. We ended up talking crap about neocons for a good 20 minutes the way boomer Dems talk about Reagan, all whole I'm playing power level chicken, afraid I'll accidentally setoff his scouter.

@DK_Dharmaraj @borzoi That’s my in laws. Some switch must have been flipped once we told them we were having our first kid because just about every time I’ve seen them since then they’ve mentioned “those crazy Christian parents who won’t let their kids read Harry Potter” and usually not in a historical sense, like it’s an ongoing phenomenon. I also don’t think they ever got fully updated with how to think about trump, to them he’s plotting to try to make America an evangelical theocracy just like they thought bush was.

@DK_Dharmaraj @borzoi Worth pointing out that the Iraq war was the leading driver of the shitlib hatred of Dubya, and now these same assholes want to get in a hot conflict with nuclear-armed Russia in order to preserve gay pride parades in Kiev. Just loathsome lemmings incapable of believing anything other than what's beamed into their cortex from the Netflix/CNN/NPR slop trough.

@dowitcher @borzoi Oh there's plenty more. I should organize my thoughts and write-up a proper "brief history of the early 2000s" meme post. Maybe sometime soon.>Tech bubble crashed miserably and the economy tanked, so they made a jobs program called the TSA so that even people who fly can experience the pleasure of the DMV. 9/11 was immediately blamed on this guy that few people ever heard of who was hiding in Afghanistan which meant we had to invade Iraq (LOL. LMAO.) The Bill of Rights was gutted by the PATRIOT Act, with only the third amendment unscathed and the 1st and 2nd on life support. Liberalism was resurrected as a zombie by corporate oligarchs to fight against its prior adherents. You used to be able to say nigger on the internet.

@DK_Dharmaraj @borzoi It's essential to their programming -- perhaps it's even the MOST essential bit -- not to notice that the state is in full control, and the state has fulfilled every leftist cultural imperative.

@borzoi Pretty much.>Everyone involved in lending including the borrowers were lying and aware of it, so the economy exploded and a bunch of people went and protested the banks. Nothing happened except the banks started shilling for sodomy and convinced people they were the good guys. A part of me died when the first "bank transfer day" went nowhere, son.

@DK_Dharmaraj @borzoi Lol, that's how long lasting and pervasive their memes are. Some late night show host acted like Rumsfeld said a dumb thing there and they all took it onboard and still think it makes them the smart people in the room.The quote makes sense though, is the thing. Lol, whatever you think of rumsfeld.

@DW2 @DK_Dharmaraj @borzoi California. these dummys were out there every weekend they of course shilled obama hard but the day he got elected they disappeared like ghosts it was really wild. Especially after he bailed out the banks and did the troop surge. I kept wondering where they were and then one day in like 2016 poof theyre back whinging about trump.

@borzoi @DK_Dharmaraj Up the chain, that's definitely how they've made it work. But it's essential to their success, not to have people notice.It's preposterous, but they do make it work: the average shitlib still thinks he is "working against the system."
