My friend has gone over the edge into Trumpdom

So, when the OP gives what is kind of a vital piece of this story, that her friend is running conventions for Qanon, neither of you actually have any idea what that means.

I’d say your opinions here are worth about as much as your admitted understanding of the OP.

…and the Nobel Prize for Understatement goes to - -

Actually I have no idea, since the Nobel committee hasn’t announced it yet, but Eonwe just made the short list.

Make the Pacific Dildo Patch Great Again!

Please proceeed. Your attempts to come up with something that is even remotely comparable to Qlunacy will doubtless prove quite amusing…

Put up or shut up, fuck-up.

Oh shit, is that what I did last Saturday? And I thought I was just at a little shindig with friends.

Hmmm, I never said that they were gay, I am curious as to how you deduced that.

Is that what you think happens at weddings?

My local theater is running into hard times these days, if they run into technical problems, do you think that you could fill in as their projector?

The good ones.

It doesn’t count unless one of the main proponents of the CT gets t9 have their picture taken in the Oval Office with POTUS.

While there are some nutty fringes on the left, we don’t elect them to high office.

I’d say you’re wrong.

Um… :wink: Congresswoman McKinney was already in office when she went whole nut.

Left the Democratic Party back in 2006, hasn’t been in office since.

She still managed to get elected to another term after revealing herself as a conspiracy theorist.

I actually am sorta crushing on Annoyed. I think he’s brilliant. He’s like the clever court jester who makes a grand entrance at an event, an almost too-perfect caricature of the problems of the day. Who is immune to retribution–he is but a harmless fool after all–and as such is emboldened to show the emperor himself the folly of the current policy. Even as Annoyed aggravates, he educates his audience in the thought processes of the intellectually lazy, and in the way the Left’s plaintive cries for equality and fairness for all (apart from those who believe differently) are reduced to so much unintelligible bleating by the time they reach the ears of those who most need the message. Fascinating to watch, really, if somewhat repetitive. However, he seems tireless enough.

Bummer about your friend but I feel like we’re just glossing over the most important part of this post. I wish to hear more.

He does indeed educate us in intellectual laziness by example, but what are you bleating about with your next sentence? The people who most need the message? Who are they supposed to be? Conservatives? Idiots? Trolls? You? Who?

You said “Yoo hoo”
The language is maybe a bit flamboyant, but the next clause is fairly self explanatory. To really get at what was driving that post would take a wall of text (trust/thank me, I deleted a couple of efforts) that I am not inclined to write and edit, and that nobody would be very excited to wade through. Boiled down, Left and Right, such as they exist, are only interested in addressing each other in their own terms and with their own language. What one says comes off as, well, crazy to the other, and vice versa.

I don’t really see how Annoyed is demonstrating to liberals that they need to couch their ideas in conservative language in order for them to be understood by conservatives. Perhaps I’m not liberal enough to see it?

I mean, he talks in unmitigated idiocy, lies, and bile. Admittedly his opponents don’t tend to use idiocy and lies on him, preferring cutting wit and sarcastic truths, but when they resort to matching his bile it doesn’t seem to improve matters any.

Right, conservative language.

That was my implication, yes.

I mean, what is ‘conservative language’ supposed to mean, anyway? Their terminology? But their terminology only differs from plain english in the slurs and biased terminology. Cuck. Gun-grabber. Pro-life. Snowflake. Stuff like that is literally the only difference between conservative language and normal-people language. And liberals actually have adopted “snowflake”, and it doesn’t really seem to have made conservatives happier.

If not the terminology, what? The ideas? Well sure, conservative, racists, and neonazis alike would like it if liberals buckled under and stopped arguing against them. Is that what Inigo Montoya expects?

My personal fave currently is liberal parents using hormonal blockers on their pre-pubescent children because their children might be trans. Gotta stop that puberty, dont ya know! Its science!

Or, hey, lets let fully formed adult biological males take hormones to ‘become women’ and let them compete against actual biological females. Its science! They’re actually women too!
