Question I asked a stranger at the VFW
Couple sitting in the next table (brother & sister), she made the comment to her brother that she sure
misses Tucker Carlson and he started in on her why he wished she would quit watching FQX news. This
went on for awhile and I waited until that conversation ended, then I turned to her and asked......

"Excuse me young lady but could I ask you a question?", she replied "Sure",

"Do you believe you could be a fair & honest Judge in a small claims court?", another positive response.

"First party says Your Honor I'm fair & balanced and the only one here today that will tell you the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth, while my neighbors will only lie to you about everything so you
better not listen to anything they have to say."

"So do you just believe him and rule in his favor or do you listen to the neighbors to hear their side of the
story?" Brother added "Remember trump said there were good people on both sides"

Lady was speechless, brother winked at me and that's what started about a half hour conversation. She
had no clue Clarence Thomas was in trouble, we even got her to look it up on her smart phone.

One small anti-FQX step for mankind.

uh huh...  there's the missing "and everybody clapped" at the end. Step up your game, DUmmie.

1. How it's done.
Introduce a little cognitive dissonance into their stream of consciousness, and perhaps eventually, the whole edifice will collapse, and they'll see the light. Perhaps........

now back to reality: this is how you get told to "STFU and mind your own business"... and maybe even a knuckle sammich depending on how many beers the person you are irritating has consumed.

This is how you know it’s made up. No Fox News watcher, or conservative who pays attention to politics, doesn’t know about the fake scandal around Thomas.

And then I convinced her to buy an electric car and vote Democrat for the rest of her life.

Well, several things:

The entire conversation was repeated like it was on a tape recorder ... first clue it ain't real...

Two, if I were to be approached by a libtard trying to convert me, I'd nod my head in agreement, thank them for the conversation, then make myself scarce...Why? Because I know I'm not going to change their mind so to avoid an argument, I agree with them..and get outta Dodge..Maybe that's what happened here, IF it happened in the first place, which I don't believe it did.

Zero bongs awarded. Bouncy lacks creativity.

No cops jumping out of bushes or snowbanks, no incredible one-liners, no drunken maga types.

I grew up in a couple of small Kansas towns, but we still came up with better things to do than make up dumb stories for internet points.

26. that too.

being a lady is something that no one who knows me would accuse me of.

Back on topic--A word to the wise for the lurking primitives, you all need to bring your stupid bouncy tales up to date.  Newsmax is the news channel that everybody who's anybody is watching these days.  Tucker Carlson was about the only reason that people were still watching FOX.  You primitives have learn the names of a whole new cast of characters:  Greg Kelly, Rob Schmitt, Jenn Pellegrino, and Carl Higbie and start making up new, more relevant bouncies about them.  FOX news isn't even relevant anymore but the primitive's hate is still focused on it like a laser beam and Newsmax was able to slip in under the radar.

First order of business is to come up with a "clever" nickname for Newsmax.  I don't know if they will be able to come up with something that tops the gem FQX but they ought to try.

Here, two can play this game.

I think I converted a Biden supporter.

I asked them if they thought they could be a fair and honest judge in small claims court. Then I said, if one party said "We're totally on the up and up, pinky swear! The other side is just conspiracy theorists spreading disinformation. Don't engage in both-sidesism". Do you just believe them and rule in their favor, or do you listen to the other side?

That's what started the ball rolling and led to a whole half-hour conversation. She had no idea the "Big Guy" was in trouble. She even looked it up on Reddit Twitter... er, well, somewhere.

One small anti-"Hidin' with Biden" step for mankind.

I asked her if she was better off now than 3 years ago? If she liked paying double for gasoline, or $5 for a dozen eggs or paying double for groceries every week than she used to? Then I asked her if she thought it was good to have over 10 million illegal aliens come into the country since January 2021? If she was concerned or even scared that the Russia Ukraine war could go nuclear?

She started to cry and said "OH MY GOD!!! What have we done? I hadn't thought of how truly bad the country has done under Biden!!!

I got a friend who converts Biden supporters all the time. They still vote Dim'Rat, but he's a mortician, so he converts their sorry arses into fine ash almost daily.

5 bongs, please...

I'm old enough, that I get no complaints from the young ones I interact with when I refer to them that way.

It's just the DUmp monkeys that get their panties in a bunch when you call them that.

Apparently, he believes this type of rhetoric would be super-effective, because he wrote a previous bouncy using the same argument.

How to make republicans "WOKE"
   
Stopped in the VFW yesterday afternoon shortly before the national news came on the tube. After all the
hellos I asked the group "Hear about the latest classified documents discovered?" Got a lot of "Biden's" and
"How many this time", then I informed them it was Pence, it lead to a lively discussion about checking
all elected officials and why we need new laws & guidelines regarding them.

Then after the national news went off it dawned on me they never mentioned the FBI agent who was arrested,
so I brought that subject up with a "I can't remember all the details but it appears he was on Putin's payroll",
"look it up" and out came the smart phones.

Awful quiet while they're reading when it dawned on me that in my red town almost everybody only watches
FQX and they tend to not cover stories that paint Rs negatively. So then I brought up McCarthy's FAIR TAX ACT,
another lively discussion and no one approved of it.

There it is, in our daily interactions with Rs if they are holding a smart phone bring a subject up, play ignorant
of all the facts and encourage them to help you out by looking it up. MAKE THEM WOKE. 

On a side note, Tim challenged me on something and I flipped on him and asked if he would be a good Judge in a
dispute? "Sure" he said, then I said "Defendant A claims he is fair & balanced and that defendant B lies all the time
and don't trust him" "Are you going to listen to B's side of the story??"


"Been obvious tonight there's things going on you are unaware of and should be. Go and watch The Last Word
With Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC, he's not a far left crazy, more middle of the road, he will not hurt you.


Glad I got out of there alive after badmouthing FQX but it was hard to argue with my questions. Remember
when dealing with them while holding a phone questions work better than statements.

Although, in this bouncy, he converted at least some of the heathens:

16. Thanks
 
Last thing I brought up was the Judge/FQX question, half of them looked or nodded at me like they
would try out Lawrence O'Donnell.
We need to get Rs to quit voting R, we all know Rs who are not
brain-dead MAGAts, those are who all of us need to approach.

The funny thing about this line of logic, for the DUmmies, is that they are the ones that ban multiple news sources for not being left-leaning enough.  If you post raw un-edited video, with no commentary, of something, and the video is from Fox, they will immediate denounce it and try to ban it due to it coming from Fox.  They will refuse to even discuss the video on it's merits because of the source.  If you point out that the source doesn't matter, it's just a video of an event, they'll attack you personally as a Republican troll.  They really need to take a look at their own glass houses.

Here are my question for DU:

-What percentage of conservatives do you think use Fox as their primary news source? (Without looking!)

-What percentage of their news do you think conservatives get from places other than Fox?

By the way, there were instances in which I walked into the TV room to find my late father watching snippets of Rachel Maddow and Don Lemon. I don't think they ever changed his mind.
