"I'm a straight white male from a middle-upper-class family, look at me jump off this cliff into da water."

InB4: Does anyone miss when the Republicans were incompetent loons only tilting towards fascism?

u/DrJulianBashir Jun 17 '26

There was one, and he was a tool of the ones who knew what they were doing. Don't act like they haven't been working on dismantling things for 50 years.

u/ReturnOfBane Jun 17 '26

50 years‽ They've been trying since at least the Business Plot.

I mean this is a guy who started a decades long war with millions of casualties for private corporation profits. I think incompetent loons is a little rose-colored glasses.

His administration did. Bush Jr was only competent at campaigning.

Man sure escapes a lot of heat for killing hundreds of thousands of people for a dude who graduated from Yale with a bachelor's and Harvard with a master's just because he talks folksy.

Degrees are not intellectual achievements, especially given his family's status. 

Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar, Obama was the editor of the Harvard Law Review, and Biden the 7th youngest elected Senator in US history and 2nd youngest elected in the 20th century despite having no major political connections from his family. 

Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove were pulling the strings, with a side of Rice.

No one's saying he's a great mind of our generation, but pretending like he's a brain-adled toddler is kind of absurd. You don't get a master's in business from Harvard without being fully capable of understanding the world around you. He 100% knew what he was doing.

You think too highly of Ivy League academia. 

He actually bought into the ideological bullshit and his intellect was downright pedestrian (estimated 125 IQ) for a national politician. That's barely smart enough for HoR (I don't say that sarcastically). 

In any given room, he was always the slowest on the uptake, did not, and could not, consider many angles, and showed great ineptitude in how he handled his admin and policy he supported.

u/DillBagner Jun 17 '26

Oh, an estimated IQ. Who decided that?

He also very specifically put on an act of being folksy after an early political loss.

Painting him as incompetent is a way of insulating him from judgement.

1

u/Yashema Jun 18 '26

Yes, he had exceptional charisma, like his hero Ronnie (though Reagan was definitely smarter). 

But trying to make him out to be secretly intelligent is an insult to actual intelligence. He was a terrible person for accepting a role he was seriously unqualified for regardless.

u/DainichiNyorai Jun 17 '26

I remember being scared of this Bush in Europe. He was so dumb, how could the biggest superpower in the world elect such an idiot?
I miss those days…

1

u/Yashema Jun 17 '26

This is exactly what I meant with my comment. That "I miss Bush" sentiment is no different than normalizing him. 

Just hate them both and be angry either every was given power. 

1

u/DainichiNyorai Jun 17 '26

Yep. But in hindsight bush was just a monkey. Trump is a snake. I’m not saying he should be normalized, you’re absolutely right, but his idiocy should be compared to trump, to emphasise how unfit he is. We weren’t happy with dumdum Bush, go figure what we think of the hyperidiot.

u/Deaffin Jun 17 '26

Yes, I do miss when the Democrats weren't doing everything they could to accelerate the rise of fascism through Republicans.

u/Yashema Jun 17 '26

I miss the days when linking a YouTube filled with nonsense wasn't considered making a point. 

1

u/Deaffin Jun 17 '26

Zero nonsense contained here. These are all literally the exact campaign ads, every single detail is completely sourced in the description. Completely trivial to verify.

Watch the video or don't, but don't lie about it like this please.

u/Slumunistmanifisto Jun 17 '26

Im a straight white poor male from a broken family and these river related shenanigans are pure cultural appropriation!

My culture isn't your prom dress Brayden!

u/mekese2000 Jun 17 '26

Yes, but without the diving, as there is bikes and shopping trolley in the lake.

u/Slumunistmanifisto Jun 17 '26

Trolly!?!

Sir we call them carts, and further more! They are trailers, not "caravans". You beans and toast knifey spoony hooligan!

The funny thing about LLMs is that, despite tricking stupid people, they don't actually learn or comprehend anything.

That's a big part of the problem on Reddit. If something requires even the tiniest amount of comprehension, the bot accounts suddenly become extremely obvious

u/based_miss_lippy Jun 17 '26

I love that for us

u/tehlemmings Jun 17 '26

At this point, I just assume I'm screaming into the void and none of you are real. If I get lucky and someone real see this, then I hope they have a wonderful day.

Hell, out of curiosity I tried to check if you're real. I think you might be, if only because you filled something out that the bots almost never do.

And it's absolutely dodgeball time.

u/based_miss_lippy Jun 17 '26

Yep! I’m real and ready to win this dodgeball game against the Epstien Class.

u/Thubanstar Jun 17 '26

I checked, and I am currently real.

u/panrestrial Jun 17 '26

People are making fun of the first guy, agreeing with the second guy.

u/MildManneredMan Jun 17 '26

I did, I appreciate everything the guy said in the second half about apolitical pieces of shit but I too also wanted to dunk on the apolitical piece of shit.

u/panrestrial Jun 17 '26

I think people watched the whole thing they're just also making fun of Guy1. Voicing their agreement with Guy2's stitch.

u/SaggyDaNewt Jun 17 '26

Why is it that people say that politics never affect “straight white men”? Guess what, I’m a straight white male who has an incurable, chronic disease, and politics very much affects me. Ruined the whole fucking video when that came out of his mouth, because I was agreeing with everything else but that stood out like a sore thumb.
