The whole bullshit of "BRINGING DECENCY BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE" just comes from how so many politicians speaking like the calm and collected voice on the campaign or in public while secretly doing bad shit behind the scenes. These people want more politicians to be talkers like Romney rather than care about actually doing anything.
Trump may be a jerk, but he is our jerk. I'd rather have someone like him in charge rather than a zombie politician like Biden any day of the week. I didn't vote in 2016 either, but saw no alternative this year. Also Nixon wasn't as bad as pop culture made him out to be.
That was my main problem with Obama. Since Obama had the MSM behind his back on top of being a smooth talker, any time you tried to bring up stuff like Benghazi or his failed green energy programs, you got called racist and/or a conspiracy theorist. Honestly, I don’t want any more Flakes, Romneys, McCains, Bidens or Obama’s, I want someone like Trump that just tells it as it is and gets stuff done.
I only brought up Nixon because of Watergate. Outside of Watergate, he had a pretty great record. He helped protect national forests, ended Vietnam, and put a lot of work towards conservation.
Yeah and it doesn't help these smooth talkers have been in politics for a long time like Ronald Reagan who had a buttery smooth voice yet sold weapons to the Iranians and such. Reagan had good qualities (I believe every president at least did one good thing in office) but he made massive fuck-ups that have damaged America and he got away with it for his smooth voice, a good economy, and "Principled Conservatism"
For how much people base their opinions on the man, they always neglect the actions he has taken while in office.
If we were to judge all politicians based on character and morality (not just presidents), then we wouldn’t have a functioning government. If one is tired of politicians acting the way they do, if they feel so strongly, I’d suggest they be the change they want to see and run for office themselves. Also, anyone that judges other people (no matter who they are) on character and morality, they should hope they aren’t guilty of the same thing they accuse others of. This is ultimately why politicians should be judged on their record and policies, because they are far better metrics than “morality and decency”, which can really vary depending on who you ask.
Unless all the perpetually depressed and the speds are weeded out soon, I unironically fear for the state of the future generations of this country. Someone like @Zero Day Defense can probably put it better than I can at the moment, though.
What worries me is we have a ton of teens who already see how crap things are for them, or their genuine deeply ingrained idiocy OR their lazy selfish fools.
I guess I should have clarified more. I agree with your points, but what I was really trying to get across was that when people like Romney or Flake sperg about “morality and decency”, it’s usually along the lines of:
Reminder even the name she use is a lie, her real name is Ilhan Nur Said remember this deleted tweet from 2013 (hopefully some here has it):
Late as fuck but reminder than even the name Ilhan use is a lieEwwww. Is that actually Ilhan Omar also playing with AOC? And moreover, Critikal you fuckin' sellout, you're playing with literal enemies of the state.
Zoomers are a mixed bag of wokists, based and redpilled aryan (and honorary aryan) chungites, redditors, and alcoholic/drug addict normies. Couple this with the fact that the economy is shit, their future is bleak, the dating is abysmal, and to top it off zoomers are all the way at the bottom of the generational hierarchy with somehow the silent generation still standing on top. Not to sperg to much about dating, but it's hard for boomers to really understand how shitty it is. Unless you like to party theres no real way to meet people especially in current year, online dating is a mixed bag of 10/10 you will literally never match with 6-9/10 girls who have their egos inflated by filters and getting fucked by the top 20% of dudes because their decent enough to fuck, and the bottom half of women catfishing all the poor chumps who fall for their filters and angles that hide the fact that their obese ogres. To top it all off as soon as you acknowledge the issue people just scream incel at you like its supposed to mean something. Even before corona there was pretty much no reason to leave your house outside of work and groceries, now theirs literally no reasons to do so even if you're allowed to in your state. I don't think older generations understand how cooped up zoomers are.
Normally don't read walls of text but this is well put. Still finding it hard to feel sorry for zoomers tho.
Whoever thinks the 90s were America's golden years is retarded.
Why's that?
Very well put. People don't want to acknowledge the problem because women don't want to lose their cushy position in society and there are plenty of simps. And I can't really blame Boomers for not accepting reality, because current year is so different from their generation, it's like another planet.
Pretty much, boomers only listen to the MSM, and even fox news is rather woke for my taste. Trying to talk to my dad or any of my older relatives is like being fed talking points straight from a news anchor. They don't understand the internet, or how its changed society, let alone distribution of information. They often ask me how I know all this stuff before it's on the news or months before it's a talking point on their favorite fox news hosts show. I've tried explaining it to them, but they just dont get it, and so my impression has been and remains that trying to explain how the world works for my generation is a pointless task. I wish I could live in world were my life and the society I grew up in was only a slight deveation from my parents, things would be much simpler and make more sense.
One thing I've noticed - The Information Era is objectively the most prosperous period in human history, tantamount to a global golden age. Yet despite this, young people across the developed world from West to East have significant rates of depression, suicide, and a massive collapse in birthrate. Compare this to John B. Calhoun's "mouse utopia" experiment and the comparisons are incredible, if not depressing. If you haven't already, I highly recommend you go down the rabbit hole of his experiments.
