Listened to a leftist describe the foreign policy uselessness of one Bernie Sanders.\u00c2\u00a0 Referenced some mass resignation of his staff over a Clinton – era foreign intervention.\u00c2\u00a0 (Kosov, maybe?)<\/p>\n
Described how Democrats get in office off of anti-war rhetoric, then once in power — just covertly and overtly follow through on bi-partisan policy.\u00c2\u00a0 (Referenced Al Franken in this regard).\u00c2\u00a0 Said ISIS’s ideological support would just collapse if America just disappeared from the Mid-East.\u00c2\u00a0 Then Mocked a professor of his who quoted Jefferson favorably, insisting that Jefferson fluntly favored an oligarchy, controlling the masses of peoples — and can’t or shouldn’t be an arbiter for anything.
\nAs you can tell… he doesn’t vote.<\/p>\n
Listened to a Donald Trump supporter, the effect was surreal and nauseating — it was coming out of a conversation where some dude was saying he’d get a “purple heart” for his sexual prowess if Bill Clinton were still president — the man who’d go on to show himself a Trump supporter corrected, ” Presidential Medal of Honor”.\u00c2\u00a0 So, after a bad Bill Clinton Impression, he then insisted he not vote for Hillary Clinton — though “Likes Bernie Sanders”.\u00c2\u00a0 (I guess this makes him the very definition of a “Bernie Bro”?)<\/p>\n
“No.\u00c2\u00a0 Trump.\u00c2\u00a0 Trump is the man.”\u00c2\u00a0 The man then gives the following about how it’s time we stop being the world’s police — and time to take care of ourselves, save ourselves… let the fanatics out there fight the other fanatics.”\u00c2\u00a0 Then on to “Time to do away with the illegal immigration problem.\u00c2\u00a0 There are 61 Billion Illegal Aliens… gotta handle them.\u00c2\u00a0 And Donald Trump.\u00c2\u00a0 You know him.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s a Man of Action.\u00c2\u00a0 Already has the engineers working on the Wall, and he’s going to get Mexico to pay for it —”<\/p>\n
The other man (who’s black, for what it’s worth) says “I don’t know.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s going to be out stirring up racial unrest.”\u00c2\u00a0 The Trump supporter laughs it off, and…<\/p>\n
I was trying to find evidence of satire, but it appears he was legitimate.\u00c2\u00a0 I wanted to interject to simply point out — the population of Earth is somewhere between 6 and 7 Billion, so there are not “61 Billion” “illegal immigrants”, but he’s full of bluster and it’d be arguing with a self-certain rock who wouldn’t know to simply claim a “mis-speak”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
