That’s a well radicalised obedient party soldier who will stop at nothing once you point at an inconvenient target and say the right buzzwords. Real Jan6 material, just as planned and executed for decades.
I mean, it’s a Reddit story, so grain of salt.
But it is a very funny story
Yeah this is peak reddit story telling. I can even see the top comment: this is MORE than mildly infuriating. That’s why it’s posted there, engagement farming
So is this bit about some delinquent fascist with dementia who was already president once up for bid again. Also, that when he don’t win, there will be a coup like when JFK was assassinated by the corporations that successfully sold it as being conducted by anyone else.
…and “bid” because let’s be real. The whole shebang is a fucking auction that has sold the fucking business of “Government” to the corporations respected by allowing them to STOP PAYING %78 IN TAXES.
Also, that when he don’t win, there will be a coup like when JFK was assassinated
JFK very explicitly pissed off the CIA when he fired a bunch of the Bay of Pigs hawks and failed to escalate with Cuba after the missile crisis.
Harris isn’t doing anything like that. She’s fully endorsed our militarism abroad and our police state at home.
If she catches a bullet, it’ll be for the same reason Trump nearly did - because he was sloppy with his security detail and they were phoning in their end of the job.
CIA is just as up for bid as the president. This is Capitalizm!
Left or right is irrelevant this is a person who follows propaganda without question. Both sides do exactly the same, and have fools who follow blindly.
I wish, with every fiber of my being, that this is not real
Sadly, if my abusive step dad were still alive I absolutely can see him doing this
That guy is voting. Probably for the Nazi.
Probably? Probably at least twice.
Seems like everything is a pronoun these days. Anything can be a pronoun too. Could I even be one?
Mr. Rogers says you can do anything you want if you use your imagination.

theseand one in that context.Edit: these is functioning as an adjective there
I was going to make a joke anti-pronoun sub where we just talk about whatever while refusing to use pronouns until I looked up the list of pronouns and saw how painful that would be.
That’s far more than mildly infuriating. I’d consider this child abuse.
I hope this kid escapes this clearly toxic situation.
The mother has some question to answer when it comes to her BF choices.
There are pronouns in the fucking bible
I wonder how he feels about you saying that.
that doesn’t count though. the bible got grandfathered in
There are actually people out there arguing that pronouns are evil because they “aren’t in the bible”
Even though Jesus literally said “I am he”
It’s even more surprising that there are pronoun in the regular “non-fucking” Bible
Pronouns are a basic part of language. Getting rid of them makes communication way harder. Unless you speak Spanish, I guess.
Do you think we don’t use pronouns in Spanish? Because we absolutely do.
I know they exist, it’s simply the fact that they’re not usually required in daily speech, since verb conjugation gives the context of the pronoun anyway.
For subject pronouns, object pronouns are obligatory
Don’t objectify pronouns, weirdo.
The pronouns were asking for it, wearing that skirt!
Even subject pronouns are certainly used in everyday speech, even if less often compared to English.
Yes, they are required and used. First, verb conjugation has nothing to do with object pronouns. You always need those. Second, subject pronouns may not always be required but are used much more often than they are omitted.
It’s not good practice to comment with such confidence when you’re so wrong.
I guess I learned something.

Don’t loop me into this!
Spanish pronouns are used mainly in the plain.
(Side note: I thought the original quote was something like “the rain in Spain falls mostly on the Spaniards,” but I can’t find anything to support that. Only today did I even learn that it was from a song.)
What song exactly?
Apparently, “The Rain in Spain.” (To be clear, I would not have known that before looking it up to verify the quote.)
The original lyric I was parodying was “the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.” (Which, again, I would have gotten wrong if I hadn’t researched it.)
edit: After a few minutes reviewing YouTube videos, apparently it was prose recited by the protagonist of “My Fair Lady,” the movie from which that song came. Eventually she gained confidence via that song.
I don’t know, I previously lacked context for the quote, but after watching a relevant video I realize I’ve seen a parody of it in Family Guy.
And My Fair Lady is a remake based on the 1938 Pygmalion. I actually like the 1938 version better. All and all, Pygmalion is a play written by George Bernard Shaw back in 1912/1913.
And then, in 2000, the culmination of all that effort and culture: Pygmoelion.
Time to check it out.
I added more context to my original response. Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks.
Pretty sure pronouns didnt exist for him in school because he dropped out before they taught it to him
That guy failed English literacy. Though… Honestly… Not surprising for a right wing American.
I fully expect JD Vance to use an elementary school pronoun worksheet to suggest drag queens are grooming children.
Literacy is bad mmmm’kay?
/s (obviously)
Wound’t going entirely gender neutral be progressive?
That’s what THEY want you to think.
Lol, wow. Sorry you had to deal with that.
Best troll: buy him a 5th grade grammar book for his bday/Xmas.
Better yet, a grammar book from 20+ years ago.
I don’t know, have you seen how they are teaching math these days?
This liberal agenda is getting out of hand!! /s
They even use Arabic numerals! Shariah state!
We’d been using Arabic numerals forever. Pretty sure your parent is complaining (tongue in cheek) about New Math, because us millennial parents learned multiplication by memorizing a times table and we think that’s the only way to do it.
It makes sense, in terms of a long term education approach, because it teaches the other properties of arithmetic (like distributive or associative or cumulative) much earlier on, which IMO makes more difficult arithmetic far more approachable later on.
But it is weird as hell if you aren’t primed on it. They really should make a ditto for parents when they start doing it.
No, I was just making a joke about MAGAs knee jerk ignorance
Fucking pronouns!!! 😲
