U.S. Politics

Ugh. I hate the meme-ification of our politics. Just another pathetic (and unfortunately, probably effective) way to sway young men over to their side. It's been happening more and more- young men being radicalized to fight the "far left" and "wokeness"; unfortunately working way more than it should. Also shows how out of touch they all are- not that Halo is at all unpopular these days, but it definitely does feel like they're a tad too late for that to be the hottest property around to make reference to. I get there's the whole "Master Chief/Commander in Chief" reference, but still. Give it a week or two and I wouldn't be surprised to see Trump's head on a frickin' Chicken Jockey from Minecraft to try and sway the next generation of voters. :rolleyes:

Unfortunately, all you gotta do to sway a large swath of men over to your cause is to promise them a boost in their masculinity while claiming that X thing or X group of people is going to demasculate them.
 
Re: cats:
Nothing makes me feel safer here and more like I am among “my people” than seeing so much love for cats. As many of you know, my precious soulmate and best friend Oliver “Ols” Queen nearly succumbed to a mystery infection earlier this year, and yet right now I am looking at his sweet face as he snoozes happily and healthily in his little bed. I know he won’t be with me forever, but he is here now and my heart is peaceful.

As to ridiculous GameStop/Halo/MAGA nonsense:
It’s what I’ve come to expect from this juvenile, insecure movement. Reeks of “hello, fellow kids!” And yet it will work on some folks, which is existentially crushing.
 
Yeah, it's more Gamestop's desperation that caught me off-guard than Trump photoshopped next to a pop culture icon. I think the hero worship is one of those things that will never stop degrading my opinion of the people who side with him. A useful pawn or a hate-monger they agree with, that makes sense to me, but he's a pussbag of stupid and they think he's peak masculinity. At least the dumbasses who look up to RFK see a roided out Kennedy, there's something they might emulate in his stupid. Trump is just a nepo baby built like a candy corn.
 
They joined in later with their own tweets.

Last time I was in GameStop it smelled like stale movie theater popcorn.
