TLDR 77.
Stuff I saw on Parler --
I opened an account to lurk and amuse myself. This is what I found today:
"Wednesday was a Patriot Inch Erection!!"
I wonder what sort of combat patriot can type this and not feel awkward.....
"The patriots deserve to stage a Cootie Tot because of the Deep State...!!"
It took me a while to realize that this person was so eager to republish what he had viewed on NEWSMAX or OAN that he just went full on phonetic and didn't care. It's Coup d'Etat.
This brings up my larger point. When I grew up in a rather gritty Connecticut factory town, most of the kids graduating from High School marched on graduation day down to the Union Hall and got a job in the same plant their Dad had worked in for decades.
Starting annual pay was a little more than about twice what a nice new Oldsmobile cost. You'd never make a whole lot more than that, but you could then wander over to the local bank and get an FHA loan to buy a house up on Swede Hill and then go find your girlfriend and ask for her hand.
Your income was enough to raise a family and support a hobby and you had a pension so retirement wasn't a problem and your medical and insurance questions were solved and all you had to do is show up unless you were sick or wanted to use your PFT days.
That is gone. The men who had that deal are now dead or elderly, but men my age remember that and blame the government for letting this disappearance happen. And they're right.
Trump promised an ear (just an ear...) for this voter bloc and he straight up failed to follow through. Bernie promises a solution for this voter but he is called Socialist and is rejected by his party.
I understand why these men are pissed. I understand why they want the decades rolled back. I understand why they blame 'politicians and the State".
I just wish they could spell.
