Feeling overwhelmed by everything that is happening.
Well, you know what has been happening. Cops getting away with murder. Politicians being their normal selves pretending to care for the average person when in reality they listen the corporations and uber rich.
My wife is feeling this a whole of a hell lot more than I am BUT I am just about to cross the line and joining her.
She is to the point where she has given up. She is tired of the "fight" she is calling it quit and saying police state, corporations and uber rich have won.
She knew three different police officers growing up and all three where arrogant ego manics who there badges to get what they wanted and treated people like crap.
Not to mention she had finished her federal Grand jury duty and became even more disillusioned with justice and her fellow man kind. Her fellow jurors just let the ADAs or whatever they called themselves sway them. There was no "REAL" discussion it was like a freaking rubber stamp. She tried but her voice got drowned out by the 20 others.
We have police departments being run like they are private armies.
We have politicians making pretty speeches and doing very little things that is far too late.
We haven't seen a min wage hike in about 13 years.
and that is the tip of my wife's frustration as well as mine.
You are a weirdo. :o
At least some bouncies.

9. I was actually able to school a tea party type conservatice friend today on what's really going on.
She had posted a picture of POTUS looking dejected with a resignation letter on the desk in front of him that said "I give up."
This friend didn't even know where the tea party came from and I expained its origins and the Kochs, etc. She didn't even know what an oligarch or oligarchy is. By the time I was done with her all she could say was that she hated POTUS, Congress, Democrats, and republicans. She hates them all.
She had no idea how to respond to my essay, lol. But at least she didn't try to fight back with their usual nonsense. After the word-down I put on her ass she knew she was messing with someone she shouldn't mess with. We've known each other 20 years and I think I literally blew her mind for the first time since we've known each other. We never talked much (if at all) about politics but I told her I just couldn't restrain myself when I kept seeing that pic she posted popping up on my FB feed

25. I had a somewhat similar experience with a Tea Party type......
at my workplace. It was obvious that he was a victim of the "echo chamber" effect here in Tennessee, so I just started challenging his statements when he would bring them up. I tried not to be disagreeable about it, but I didn't let the Koch brothers talking points go unchallenged. I did try to challenge the statements and NOT him as a person of course. What's more, I challenged those talking points from an openly Marxist viewpoint, NOT a Democratic Party one.
Lo and behold, he actually came to me a few months after we started the back and forth and began asking me questions about Marxism. Sincere questions at that. IOW, he had actually been listening and couldn't find answers in the Tea Party ideology for my challenges, so he wanted to know more about the alternative that I advocated. I didn't "convert" him so to speak, but I honestly believe he won't ever look at that ideology the same way again.
Same thing with another co-worker. CC was a 30 something black guy who thought he was a Republican, mostly because being a standard Democrat didn't seem to have worked to improve the lot of himself or his neighbors in the black community. The same dynamic played out with CC as with the original old white guy above. We eventually had some very deep and very productive discussions about society and I believe I had an effect on his thinking too. And he had an effect on my thinking also.
I guess the point is not to give up on challenging those Koch brothers' talking points, but don't be disagreeable about it. Attack the ideas and not the person.

I've been following diureticman pretty closely, and I am starting to see more DUmmies like him: inarticulate, unable to form basic arguments, and in some cases, pretty much illiterate. I'm not sure what to call this archetype, but in my opinion it contains him, kelliekat44, rsmithnumbers, probably LFR, and even (hear me out) kpete. Has anyone ever tried to read anything kpete wrote herself? She may be rich, but she's as dumb as a post.
Coach, do you know what I mean? Prose that's difficult to read, characterized by orthographic errors? Particular, pronounced lack of coherence? And by this archetype I mean just plain DUMB. Jefferson's Ghost, for example, is INSANE, but at least there is structure to his English.

Oh, .....I see. Tea Party type doesn't know where the Tea Party came from. So, using your sixth grade educated brain, Jethro, you filled her in.
Pound it, asshole. IF she's a TP Conservative, she knows EXACTLY what you are. If she's been passing memes around FB, she knows who the Koch Brothers are. You really need to write these bouncies without traceable plot destructors, you dumbass.
-2 Bongs.

Right. No other source material exists, but you. :bird: A "Tea Partier" suddenly shows an interest in Marxism, as if he's on some spiritual quest? What an embarrassing pant load.
All bongs confiscated.
Jeez, how did I miss this....

Good job, Vladimir. I suppose your back story includes a train ride, doesn't it? So amazing how all of these bouncies play right along with what the little snowflakes are lamenting the most, at the current time.
Golly, gee-whiz.... If I didn't know better, I would think it was all a fabrication.

Two words will answer your post, DRUG USE. It is what defines and unites the DUmmies. I think a number of them have brain damage.

I thought for a while now, that he is just making her up...he never married. He wants us to believe a lie that he really has a wife and a life, so he is constantly reminding us.
That said, my wife has dinner and a massage waiting for me every night when I get home. She always agrees with me. We first met at an agency in a little town called Stepford.

Pretty sure his wife is real. And NSFW.

20. So true
The evil has indeed won. When we lost the media, we lost it all. All there is to do now is try to make the corporate masters suffer whenever you can. For example, I scratch every Mercedes I see. And here in DC, that's a lot of scratching.
Typical liberal.

Mercedes are now an American company made in America. Why do libs hate America so much ?
I bet he scratches a lot of lottery cards too.
The lottery is a tax on stupid people.
It's one of the few times stupidity can be made to directly convert to pain.

Washington is full of Mercedes limousines. They are common at the various embassies.
Loony tune primitive, why do you hate black people, brown people, and yellow people?

She didn't read it. When someone posts an essay I don't read it. I just nod my head :-)

Original material by kpete is a lot like Sasquatch. I've heard about it, but I've never seen it.

Hey DUmmie, you didn't school anyone. She just felt the quickest way to get you to leave, was to say nothing or just agree with you.

Why would anyone, regardless of the "word-down I put on her ass" believe someone that illiterate? That alone would cause me to question its intelligence.
