 I'm ngl I do have a bit of a morbid fascination with like conspiracy/conservative boomer propaganda. it's just a very particular kind of deranged of someone being a shitty person, very unintelligent, very VERY amerikan, possibly senile or schizophrenic or both, and also probably some kind of weird shut in or someone who lives in a McMansion in some anonymous suburbia. I think sometimes about how many incredibly bad 2008/09 Tea Party memes about Obama being the antichrist or Kenyan or a communist or whatever are just lost forever and it fills me with sadness, because these are priceless historical artifacts that will one day be a record of just how exactly the most evil empire to ever exist collapsed when, like a portal to some parallel Event Horizon esque universe of toxic waste and gluttony for the sake of excess and bad public education and genocide, it collapsed under the weight of its own spiritual decay and poisoned and killed its own citizens in one way or another 
 @95af5c8b It's the kind of thing that can really only exist after a few generations of American's brains were absolutely sloshed by the television 
 @95af5c8b you mean, soccer moms shooting up targets isn't normal?
