Republicans: Keep political statements that challenge my beliefs and make me uncomfortable out of my sports/TV/video games/etc!
Fixed that for you.
Woke water, anti-woke water; all bottled by Nestle!
We're almost at the "Brawndo" level of Idiocracy.
anti-woke water is what i call my nighttime melatonin drink
I liked it better when W.C. Fields was attributed to have said it (although it isn't definite that he did).
He did say some fun things in about booze in films though:
I was in love with a beautiful blonde once, dear. She drove me to drink. That's the one thing I'm indebted to her for.
I exercise extreme self-control. I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast.
Whilst traveling through Afghanistan, we lost our corkscrew. Had to live on food and water for several days.
He also once said something serious which is also my own policy:
Hell, I never vote for anybody. I always vote against.
Snowflakes. Incredibly infantile in their "freedom fries" kind of way.
Anti-woke fries.
Black Rifle Coffee, so anti-woke, you'll go back to bed.
I hate to say it, but Dems should be trying to reclaim the word "freedom". It makes absolutely no sense for Cons to be attached to it so strongly. We need more freedom fries and liberty toast.
I think they do, it's just not repeated ad-nauseam and attached to everything like the Cons do. Free to be LGBTQ, free to read the books you want, free to organize labor, etc... Real, tangible, life-improving freedoms. Cons? All they want is freedom to take everyone else's rights away. That's their "freedom".
But that's the thing. The Dems want to campaign like they have for the past century, going out and making sensible campaign stops every so often. Obama was trying to change this, and honestly had the right of it - you blast your message everywhere, all at once, KEEP REPEATING IT, and shorten the general gist until it can fit in a meme.
Now with extra lead!
That's just what I was thinking. It should contain added microplastics and industrial waste. And it should come in bottles made of plastic that cant' be recycled and never breaks down. That would be the proper way to support right wing environmental policies. It would also be another "don't get vaccinated" way for them to kill their own supporters.
