This is one of those situations where “ok boomer” is an acceptable response.
Buzz-word salad. His constituents are like, “That’s right! Got 'em!”
“Boy I bet those leftist, communist, socialist, liberals are triggered.”
I love how they assume that we’re all a bunch of young kids, I’m in my 40’s and I remember doing nuke drills in elementary school and getting shown where the fallout shelters were, my stepdad is just as Left as I am and is twenty years older and his schools also had fallout shelters and nuke drills.
I’d say they need to stop generalizing people, but if they understood nuance and context they probably wouldn’t be republicans, however there are plenty of Republicans that do know the differences but just aren’t arguing in good faith, now I’m definitely also generalizing them as well by saying that. The people who aren’t aware of their generalizations need to realize that old people can be lefties, and young people can be righties, there is no age limit for becoming a fascist asshole and there’s no age limit for realizing that capitalism only benefits the wealthy.
Or how about the last few years? Iran threatening nukes, North Korea with ballistic missile threats, Russia threatening to nuke everyone every other day, china building relations with Cuba, drills happening off of Alaska.
I mean, do we face these threats today, no? No idea what that tweet is saying.
Good points, and don’t bother trying to decipher it, at best Clay is just being an ornery old cuntnugget, at worst he’s purposely saying this for political clout, I just ignore him, he’s not saying anything smarter than any other Republican right now.
Children today do active shooter drills. I would argue that’s more stressful than nuclear drills as a concept.
Higher up Republicans are also known to fake their opinions for clout/money. Just look at the Tucker Carlson court reveals. Or Trump vastly changing his views to meet what the base wants.
Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are notorious for that garbage too.
“I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.” - John Adams, the 2nd President of the United States
Sounds like Clay Higgins doesn’t believe in making the world better for his children.
Does Clay Higgings believe in improving the world for anyone who isn’t a rich, straight, white, able bodied, “Christian”, republican man?
The threat of nuclear war has never gone away
Kids do active shooter drills today
Children crave the bomb not the bullet.
GOP just needs to play word Bingo. As long as they say those buzz words their base eats it up
Up yours woke moralists- here is my word salad!
uh if you’re a millennial you have ALWAYS lived under the nuclear threat dude
all nuclear weapons were famously disarmed and destroyed once the Cold War ended right?
…right?
Only in Ukraine.
anyone who spent any time at all alive in the last 78 years in fact
Millennials were born after nukes were invented and while the cold war ended (supposedly), nukes weren’t exactly removed from existence.
I feel like he asked an intern to come up with a tweet, who then just made a chat bot vomit out some word salad and they posted it without reading it or anything.
I’m a millennial and we had bomb drills in my school growing up, so this guy is not only an idiot, but he’s completely full of shit.
Now reflect upon your woke sky
It sounds like something a MGS villain would say
9/11 brain there: “WE ARE AT WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR EVERYTHING WE HOGS WANT IS JUSTIFIEEEEEEEEEEEEEED”
“Sir, this is a dictionary.”
Any other millennials here vividly remember the nuclear duck-and-cover drills? Because I do. This boomer clown is so out of touch that he doesn’t realize that millennials are in their 40s and grew up during the end of the cold war.
Yup. I remember that there was definitely the fear of the USSR losing control of nukes during it’s dissolution in the early 90s.
It means Rep. Clay Higgins took money from Putin’s lackeys.
