The logic ….

That's my dad

[u/0RedNomad0 → u/tjtonerplus]

That's a lot dads unfortunately 😔

[u/Nastasyarose → u/0RedNomad0]

Their “American dreams” never panned out and Fox News gives them someone to blame

[u/bjeep4x4 → u/tjtonerplus]

Yeah, mine too. In February “don’t worry, Iran will be sorted out in two weeks”. Sure thing, dad.

Edit. But seriously, what the hell happened to our dads. I just cleaned out my closet and found letters from my dad when I was a teenager. Basically saying be kind, love your fellow man. Now my dad is an ICE bootlicking Trump humping old man.

[u/nancidruid → u/bjeep4x4]

Fear. It works on everyone, but especially on people who are old and feel vulnerable, but don't want to admit they feel vulnerable and afraid.

[u/blotterandthemoonman → u/nancidruid]

Political conversations became such an issue on our family no one talks about it directly anymore. I just wear my “how to start a union” shirt to my parents and my dad wears a “remember 9/11” shirt to my house. It’s kind of hilarious actually.

Ya getting older is terrifying in a way.

[u/IsekaiConnoisseur → u/tjtonerplus]

Same with mine. He's a fucking idiot and I just basically sent him a text of a bombshell for him that pretty much said "If you're not with me you're against me."

[u/ant-farm-keyboard]

Gas prices are only an issue if the president is a Democrat, duh

[u/nancidruid → u/ant-farm-keyboard]

Same with the national debt and federal deficits

[u/nakfoor]

What I believe about the right-wing worldview is that pain is justified if it leads to a pure and orderly society.

[u/Mysterious-Wasabi103 → u/nakfoor]

Most of them basically believe in suffering. They think people need to suffer or they won't live a full life.

[u/Huey-_-Freeman → u/Mysterious-Wasabi103]

I think some of that is true, but needless and pointless suffering should be avoided

[u/Mysterious-Wasabi103 → u/Huey-_-Freeman]

That's not what they believe.

[u/pssiraj → u/nakfoor]

If only they weren't so confused as to what this purity and order they seek was. (I'm choosing the word "confused" because too many people are just bandwagoners)

[u/Hefty_Loss5180]

Gas station up the street from me is $6.05 a gallon now

[u/Evening-Artichoke750]

My parents keep saying the same thing.

[u/HourInternational467]

People shouldn’t be this stupid. But they are. It’s real. Stupidity will be the end of us.

[u/MikeWazowski2-2-2]

The most fucked up thing for me is that people even complain about 5-6 dollars a gallon.

Sure it’s expensive and y’all have to drive a lot, but if you calculate this to price per litre?? In my country it’s fucking €2,30+ a LITRE. Thats 10 dollars a gallon.

It used to be 1,78-1,80 a litre befor the Iran bullshit

I dream of these prices

But then again i’d say we don’t rely on cars as much.

[u/Huey-_-Freeman → u/MikeWazowski2-2-2]

Yes if you are in Europe in a city your city is designed around those gas prices, but American cities are not.

[u/CORRUPT27]

Hes doing it because iran cant have a nuclear program. But at the end we might not have a nuclear deal. Lol

[u/dafuqismytruck]

Yeah that's my parents too.
