Same shit with England. People don't realize that the British straight up lie to Americans about how much they love the NHS. It's a fucking disaster if you want anything done beyond the most routine of checkups or the worst of emergencies. If you have anything wrong that isn't deemed urgent, you will wait years.

Only people I see fall for that is liberals because they're the only mooks that think the bri'ish are sophisticated and a progressive Utopia that cares about it's people. They don't realize they're just speaking to their retarded cockney counterparts.

Bill O'Reilly is points out how quick the MSM is to pick up lies and how slow to issue corrections after the "ICE raids elementary schools" schitk that MSNBC and NBC were pushing yesterday.

He say's "we are living the United States of Disinformation" and as a old time journalist you can see this really get under his skin as it's just talking heads blatantly lying to the public to push their narrative.

Obama never got that kind of coverage throughout all 8 years of his administration, and in fact, the opposite was true when there were crickets chirping over how his intervention in Libya turned a repressed but prosperous military dictatorship into an anarchy-infested hellhole where black people get sold in open air space markets.

I would say I wasn't politically awake until Trump's presidency. My young millennial friends and I had grown up on a diet of Jon Stewart, South Park, SNL, etc that we took at face value. Every liberal male I knew were what I'd call "Early Joe Rogan" liberal. We all overweighed the importance of weed, repeated the same lines about the war in the middle east was over oil, and fell for propaganda promoting open borders.

It was the increased media scrutiny that backfired for the media. I wasn't actually engaging with these thoughts early on. I had the default young millennial opinions coming out of the Bush era. They say you start liberal and then grow into a conservative. My friends and I all became conservative in short order.

Guys, it drives me insane that the country is finally being forced back on track whether it likes it or not, and all anyone I know can do is bitch and moan all day long. Everyone just assumes I’m a liberal and keeps approaching me to commiserate about deportations and ending DEI. A staggering number of people have cut me off. I feel like I’m losing my mind. And what gets me is they don’t understand why difficult things need to happen, all they can do is whine that they are difficult.

They complain about the price of eggs when inflation should never have been allowed to skyrocket. They complain about cutting back wasteful programs when those programs should never have existed. They complain about the pain of deportation when any rando showing up should never have been allowed in the first place. They complain about withdrawing support for other nations when we never should have gotten involved. And so on and so on.

Yes, there is a cost to fixing all these things. It isn’t going to be easy, and we‘re going to struggle for a while. But they don’t seem to understand that if they had just slapped some neosporin on the wound when it opened maybe we wouldn’t be going through such a painful debridement right now.

It will never end. The price of eggs will go down, and they will screech. Planes will stop falling out of the sky, and they will screech. I’ve well and truly had it. Relocation is the only option. I’m going to go help make some unspecified state great again if it kills me.
