How is this ignorant reprobate so goddamn' popular in the US and in Lewk's household?
Someone help me understand. I've been trying to get through his articles, interviews, tweets and two of his books, but they're just so frickin' bad.

How is this ignorant reprobate so goddamn' popular in the US and in Lewk's household?

Had no idea who he was, so just did some reading.
One of the first things that came up was a recent tweet of his "... The term Nazi is a compression of the terms " National" and "Socialist" (Sozialismus)--hence all Nazis are by definition on the Left" :bulb:
Not only does this man get the most basic facts wrong, he also indulges in brain-fart logic with those incorrect facts. And he's publishing books. :haha:
Large amounts of lol to be had.
Next idiot please Minxy, that was a good one.
I'm too afraid to laugh because this idiot actually seems to be influential.
He tells conservatives what they want to believe, and because he does it as a non-white person and someone with basic research skills, they don't feel so bad about believing those things anymore.Quote:

Do you really think it would matter if it was a black or a white athlete 'disrespecting the flag?' Oh wait I forgot who I was talking to, its Loki the guy who has bought into the whole 'everyone on the right is racist' nonsense.Quote:

I'm about 90% sure no one would give a fuck if it was a white athlete.Quote:

They want people to give a fuck about what they're protesting about, not use preformative outrage over quote unquote 'disrespecting' the national anthem as an excuse to not listen to what they're trying to say.Quote:

That's the point, Rand. Trump is desperate to make this into a wedge issue to rile up his racially resentful base.
Trump is a pathetic attention whore your voters somehow entrusted with the most important job in the world. He will grasp any excuse to rile up his racially resentful base.
Hopefully come 2018/2020 your voters give him the verdict he deserves. If he runs again, secures the nomination again and even gets as many electoral votes as Walter Mondale then there is a problem.
Despite a 37% approval rating, he's still polling at over 50% in ~20 states.
Maybe you need to extricate yourselves from those States . . .
How can you be polling without someone running against you?Quote:
