Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

A lot of truth to this statement from the article.

“There is no intelligent dialogue. People watch right-wing websites and left-wing websites,” he said. “There’s no intelligent discussion at all. There used to be some sense of two political parties.”

It's pretty amazing really. A bunch of Catholic teens stand around and do nothing and it's nation wide news for several weeks about what a bunch of racists and Nazis they are.

This woman berates an old Jewish man, calls him a Nazi, asks fellow patrons to join in on the shaming, follows him outside while still yelling at him, then goes on Facebook and Twitter and asks people to track him down so she can continue to harass him, his friends, family, and children, and it's barely a blip in the local news.

If I didn't know any better I would say the media in this country has an agenda to push.

This hardly seems newsworthy when you consider everything going on in the world. It might seem important to you but it isn't to most people. Kinda like how news about chicken farming is important to chicken farmers but not most other people.

America's press is one of the most free in the world. Would you prefer state run media?

I actually 100% agree with you, some random crazy woman yelling at an old man for wearing a MAGA hat isn't national news.

You know what also isn't national news? A bunch of Catholic teens standing around minding their own business.

Yet one DID become national news and one did not. The one that did become national news was when the media could twist the narrative of a bunch of Catholic teens minding their own business in to MAGA hatted white supremacists bullying a Native American "elder."

Care to explain that one?

Pick me! It has to do with the bar for outrage being incredibly lower for democrats than republicans. Also triggered, microaggressions and safe space.

tl;dr: A "progressive" woman saw an old Jewish man wearing a MAGA hat in a Starbucks and berated him; calling him a Nazi and a racist and the usual, she even called for other patrons at Starbucks to join her in harassing him. She followed him out of the store where she continued to hurl insults at him and said to never come back to her town ever again. She was so proud of her achievements that she bragged about it on Facebook and Twitter and she even asked people if they knew where the man lived because she wanted to "protest" outside of his house, get him fired, and harass all of his friends and family and make sure they all know what a Nazi this old Jewish man is. Her biggest regret was no other white person joined her in the verbal harassment.

Okay now, just imagine what this woman looks like. Take in everything I just said and just get a mental image in your head.

Got it? Okay good.

The good news is she lost her job. Her boss was someone she has been friends with since grade school.

She looks like someone Backlash would try to date.. but even she would turn him down.

Please. Have you been reading the PC lately? Notice how many posts a day are outrage from the right-wing nuts over nit picky bullshit? People are still really butt-hurt over Obama's two terms.

Our current climate of political division and the light speed of viral media spreading before the truth is known.

Its too bad what happened to all involved in that incident. Like I said when it happened I'm just glad no one was physically injured. In the end it may be that the Native American's prayer of peace worked.

I struggle to think what his legacy will be in 2 more years. I guess he is still first black president?
