This is some top level brainwashing.

Of course!

As I've always said: During an apocalypse the last guy I'm going with is the English literature douche on campus; get me the farmer, get me the mechanic, get me the blacksmith and - if you have to - get me a doctor. Although at that point he might become an old school barber covering not just hair care but dental and health. Might also need an attorney to mediate things. That's how useless these faggots are, I'd prefer an attorney over them.

Totally agree. You'd need a bunch of different people with diverse skills. These guys just want a bunch of people who are the same in every way. Well, aside from skin color and gender identity of course. That's the important kind of diversity.

Then once enough of them gather, communism happens and food and such just... appear, I guess.

What you need to survive is the one thing these people cannot create, ironically enough: A community.

You need doctors and dentists and cooks. You need people to raise the children and the gardens and the livestock. You need mechanics and carpenters and leaders who can really lead, not just issue dicta. You need people who can shoot, dig wells, raise barns, make preserves.

You don't need a set of A-Team-like individuals with specialty slots they fit into. You need a cohesive, organic community.

And these assholes don't have the first clue how not to live as hedonistic, histrionic individuals.

Probably the most truthful political ad I'll see all year.

That is meta as fuck.

I know a bunch of these idiots. I'm pretty rural, in the middle of nowhere, but there's a nearby liberal arts college tons of these fuckers go to and they all think they'll be able to just walk off campus and live in the forests or something.

They have such a bizarre idea of survival. All the skills they want to learn involve theft, burglary, or destruction.

I'm in basically the same situation with the bonus of a group of lefties "training" with firearms on a regular basis. One sketchy skillset I put effort into was downloading the FDNY manual on forced entry. There are 3 chain store distribution centers out on the interstate. If shit ever goes to hell in a big way, I'm loading up a dry van from the walmart distribution center. With toilet paper and dry goods.

I hate how shoddy teaching and pop-history about Vietnam (not helped by popular conceptions about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan) have given rise to this trope that a band of rebels always inevitably defeats the bigger, stronger, more organized army. Maybe they should look at why the Tet Offensive was "successful" to learn more. Or check out the hilariously one-sided battles the Rhodesians won repeatedly

Probably better to blame Star Wars and maybe Harry Potter too since they mainly think in pop culture references.

I normally just refer to Trump as our Glorious Cheeto in Chief, but I think I'll steal the name Orange Menace to refer to him as now. Moving up in the world, buddy.

When PDT annoys me (usually when he tweets; his policy and personnel picks have drawn less of my ire), I refer to him as President Annoying Orange.

 

[Vorhtbame]

They have such a bizarre idea of survival. All the skills they want to learn involve theft, burglary, or destruction. They can't hunt or build a shelter, but they'll make a molotov, break a car window, and pick a lock to try stealing your food and money.

In the inner cities, that would work, but only because the homeowners aren't allowed to have guns.

A pissed off homeowner with a steak knife could do some pretty horrific damage though, so I wouldn't count on it working out too much better.

Lindsey Graham is transcending into absolute Chad territory.

Inner cities will be cannibalistic hellscapes less than a week after their supply lines are cut off. People seem to forget how many people live in these cities.

If I were you I would suggest you double check this factoid before you go ahead with that...

 

[George Beorge]

As someone who considers themselves a Leftist, it physically pains me when these idiots don't realize they're actively helping Trump and the Right with their hysteria.

Lindsey Graham is transcending into absolute Chad territory.

This guy is an absolute madman .
Lindsey Graham is by no means my favorite politician but damn that was solid. Probably fed up with all the shit he's taken for the past 2 years.

 

[NotoriousD]

Anyone who thinks they're going to be off-the-grid resistance are fucking mega-speds. I'll admit, in my free time for a while now I've been reading all kinds of DIY and self-help books related to anything ranging from things I didn't know about potential cleaning products, hunting game and smoking meat, drying foods, even a guide to blade sharpening, and writing down important tidbits that are essential in each category into a quick reference journal I've recently started making.

But that's not because I want to be a living innawoods survivalist. It's because I want to know more that I don't already that could be useful and practical knowledge/skills in the future. These idiots think they can just buy tape recorders and typewriters and random tools and just automatically become survivalists. Good fucking luck.

Even with all the practical knowledge I steadily try to obtain just for the sake of it, I don't plan on living off the grid. I like the internet, I like technology. It's useful. But I've learned to go without when need be. I've gone without any internet for over half a year at times because of income constraints.

These losers would probably go through withdrawal after a week with no Twitter to rage at Trump on. That, or they'd hammer out anti-Trump frustrations on their typewriters while self-fellating their own irrational hatred.

Yeah my wife was complaining about evil cheeto hitler getting into her phone. We get amber alerts at least once a month, various storm alerts, but this one, this evil presidential alert,was very distressing...

It's hilarious that this is a system passed into law under obama. I was hoping for something like "This is a test of the presidential broadcast system. Rosie O'Donnel is a fat washed up loser. SAD!"

I love that people think he wrote that test message himself too.

Them going 180 on issues like protectionism and job creation programs for Americans is also distressing.

That's sure to convince the public your side is sane and rational. Blue wave, guys!

The comedy tomorrow will be delicious whether the GOP gets Kavenaugh in. Dem or GOP tears regardless based on what I was hearing on AM radio.

I also still find it funny that the deranged Dems are going full exceptional, since Kavenaugh shouldn't have been the hill to die on for the midterms; he's pretty much about the same as Kennedy in most details (he's only a bit more on the right), and so is a fine replacement... and I say this as a left-lib. Still, I'm going to laugh in the fairly likely case he gets in tomorrow, and laugh at the short GOP salt fest if he doesn't.

I don't think McConnell would call for cloture if he didn't have the votes.
