Insanity....LOL

Convince me I'm wrong.

"Good afternoon. I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time. I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her. I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit," a masked Harris said while introducing herself.

OK, you’re wrong. It’s not insanity. 

“What the hell did I just watch? Kamala Harris used pronouns while introducing herself? What is this world coming to when a woman in a position of power uses her words to show basic consideration for other people? Truly, this country is doomed.”

Yes, Fox does have a large following because we have so many poorly educated people who can't realize when they are being duped and going so far to even send him money - that's the one that blows my mind.  They took their lessons from Goebbels and recycled his ideas into a business model.

I do know many of the "poorly educated" who can form a sentence.

Who are the poorly educated sending money to? And who is "they" who took their lessons front Giebbels?

Fox chooses the least news to report on.  Yes, that introduction was cringeworthy but why is it news?  Because it's deflecting from the real problems that some Republicans are creating.

I'm not sure what problems the Republicans are creating. 

Maybe Harris is a genious and she is the one diverting attention away from problems her administration is responsible for.

“Giebbels” - aka Goebbels - was the chief propagandist of Hitler’s Nazi party, so you might begin with blond blue-eyed men as ubermenschen destined to rule the world, but only by refusing to let the Jews (among other  inferior races) replace them. Then there were the ubermenschen baby mills - aka blonde blue-eyed women - whose sole purpose was to breed more Aryans.

You mean you haven’t heard Alex Jones et. al. whine about falling fertility/birth rates among whites? Then there’s the tiki brigade chanting “Jews will not replace us”.

I didn't ask who Giebbels was.  Subee said the poorly educated were sending money to "him".  Who is "him"?

And, she said "they" were taking lessons from Giebbels.  Who is "they"?

Nope, not wrong.  The whole thing is dumb.  As well as the satirical article.

Well, thanks.  I guess that could be an explanation.  Maybe the poster is a better one to say what she meant, however.

No, don't recall hearing Alex Jones say that.  But, maybe I did at some point and that's a reason I pay no attention to him.  

I have no idea what the "tiki brigade" is.

But you quoted mine. And, yes, you do know what the tiki brigade is … disingenuousness will only take you so far. Charlottesville wasn’t that long ago.

You are the only member expressing confusion about the post.  

You could have used Google search and learned what she was referencing with "tiki brigade".

I personally do not state my pronouns, but I have no issue with those who do. And I will use those pronouns. Doesn’t harm me or the country and shows respect to others wishes, which again, causes me no harm. 

And how is it dumb? Just because you don’t agree with it? Plus, that satire is very clever and scathing. I understand that it stings when your views are skewered.

Maybe not. The grapevine says that Google uses search history skews results towards what a user wants to hear. It’s likely that the very same search terms will produce very different results for MAGA than for me.

It would fun to compare them among AN users. Use identical search terms, users would do the search  on the same search engine and share the results in a thread here. Screenshot of the first page maybe? Just a thought …
