His age really gives it away too. I'm in my 40's and everyone older than me gets their news from the boob tube and everyone younger than me gets their news from social media.
****Edit to Add: Oh Lord, maybe I should have added more detail in my comment but I wasn't saying ALL older people are brainwashed by media. I was talking in generalizations based on everyone I know. Those older than me prefer the tv, still have cable, and watch news networks, those younger than me are obsessed with social media and everything they hear about the world comes from there in some 30 second clip. Both think they are informed and in reality neither of them know squat. Only those people who search for truth know they have to look outside of these two bubbles to find it. So don't get your panties in a wad thinking I was talking about YOU if you are older than me, clearly if you are here then you are not stuck in the media bubble, but you know damn well the majority of your peers are, just like the majority of my peers are too.
I just tell them we need Ron in Florida and that the left would treat Ron the same. Idc what he thinks they will and Ron will cave. Then I list all the ballsy shit Trump did that actually pissed off the left, like telling Germany their retards for buying oil from Russia and ponder if DeSantis would ever do that.
Common folk really underestimate the power of a good Governor. Hence why I doubt someone like Newsome would ever run for president.
Professional politicans know their worth. Republicans are kinda bad at politics and have a hard time uniting under one cause, staying focused, and in place. I so hope DeSantis doesn't run. It would be dumb of him to.
Considering that the Democrats idea of a Florida governor was an unknown black man with a bad cocaine habit who was found with unconscious male prostitutes in his hotel room. Without DeSantis in the office the Democrats would have their type of candidate selected, not elected.
It is already being reported that DeSantis is going to announce a '24 run after the mid-terms.
Those guys might be right. DeSantis may very well be controlled oppo. I am not saying he is, I need more information before I would make such a declaration. We will see how he handles the primaries though assuming the reports are accurate.
"He tells me that even though he likes Trump’s policies, he hates Trump as a person and that he is an egotistical maniac"
This shit is what kills me.
"REEEEEEEE his policies are the best but he's MEAN"
Lmfao being nice is such a worthless non virtue. What an absolutely worthless qualifier to choose the freaking leader of our country over actual capability and leadership.
The most NPC criticism of the man ever. I'm sick of this pussified world where everyone demands everyone else be NICE over things that actually matter like being courageous, just, truthful, incorruptible and strong.
Wrong. Im the same age as this guy and my circle of friends are all around the same age. Not one of us think like this guy. And everyone of us knows how to use a computer and read alternative media. Quit lumping people into groups. Thats what they do.
touche' in my 70s here and the part OP wrote about but glossed over is that coworker WILL VOTE FOR TRUMP. Now let's just get the MidTerms right so TRUMP can make Lasting Change.
Yeah but he still turned against Trump because he was too stupid to see Fox is as bad as CNN. If not worse. Now because this guy is a moron that refuses to turn off the TV all the deep state has to do is run a shiny RINO turd and he'll vote for him instead of Trump. How many morons around the country will fall for that because Fox convinced them Orange man bad? That could lead to splitting the votes of the party and losing an election. All due to idiots like this guy. That's the scenario they are priming and people are dumb enough to fall for it.
Wish I could have replied in time but since george Bush took all or most of my money in 2009 I still have to work. We cannot beat the news as Wilson taught the whole world that the press is controls the World we must live in it. What we can rely on is when EVERY ONE else falls only TRUMP the GEOTUS will remain standing.
Stereotyping people into groups is definitely something that's been indoctrinated into most people, myself and others here included. It's an easy option to group the minority as the whole -- it's also an even easier way to divide us.
Like you said: "Quit lumping people into groups." It's something I think we all need to work on.
Think you will find he is referring to the statement about people over 40 , maybe he is right, i am 58 and have been awake to what is going on for a long time. The first gulf war for me.
Agree that it is mainly older people watching MSM though. Hard habits to break.
Didn't you just lump them into a group by saying that?
I'm not saying you're wrong about them.
I'm just saying if you can't handle a generalization without calling it an offensive stereotype .... which is what you just said ... you're kinda doing EXACTLY what they do when they accuse us of being racist.
You are a small fringe minority in that age group and you know it. You're lumped in that group because almost every boomer I know still gets their news exclusively from Fox and refuses to change. The stereotype is accurate. You and your friends are remote exceptions.
Truth hurts. The fee boomers here, which I am proud of for breaking the mold, are a tiny fringe of their demographic. The overwhelming majority are still asleep watch Fox. OP was correct. It's happening this way because the vast majority are still sheep. Especially the older gen. Trust me I work in service. I run into a hundred new people on average a week. Mostly conservative. Almost all of them watch Fox and only Fox.
"You're lumped into that group because every boomer I know..." That right there is what the other side does. "All blacks are XXX...", "all Latinos do XXX...", "all women...", etc.
Stereotype: an often unfair and untrue belief that many people have about a group of people with a particular characteristic. (Britannica)
I have news for you... Boomer here with boomer friends that are wide awake and are not Faux news devotees. There are more of me and my friends than you realize. Hell, my 84yo mother was more awake than some people here!
Again, you and your friends, which I am very proud of, are the fringe minority. My job puts in contact with a lot of new people every week. Mostly conservative. In your age group, 90+% are Fox sheep. This is about fours of experience too and it hasn't changed much in the last two. I run into very few boomers getting their news outside Fox and even fewer doing their own real research. It's a critical issue and if we act like it's not because you and your friends say it's not, we can't address it properly. Frankly, I'm sick of this group because many of them are dumb enough to turn on Trump because they're too thick to release that narrative is being feed to them by Fox.
Im not a boomer. Im gen x. Born 1965. And I am not a small fringe minority. This is the age group all of my friends are in. Our first Presidential vote was Reagan in 1984. Dont tell me what "I know" because you are freaking clueless about what I know, where I live, who I associate with and our life experiences.
You and your friends do not change the fact that the majority of conservatives in a certain age group overwhelmingly get their news from only one place. There are majorities and there are always exceptions. The existence of exceptions do not discount the majorities existence just as noting the obvious majority does not discount your experience.
I occasionally watch CBS "news" (the only network I can get from my attic antenna :) ) to see what the latest leftist propaganda is, and then see how conservative media reports on the same stories; it's pretty eye-opening and would be great if the Democrat minions tried that (of course, they would just say that the conservative news is "fake news")
Bullshit. I'm 60 and I've been watching this stuff for 30 years. I don't watch any msm.
Everyone older than you? These idiotic assumptions are a problem. I just the other day had a 84 yo man in a restaurant talking about Q to what I think was his brother.
As a generality I am forced to agree, however, I also find that older people can be swayed.
I.e. - A tactic I use goes something like this: "Hey, remember how everyone used to say that ONLY a businessman could solve our debt issues and get the country running in tip-top (yeah I went there) shape? Remember how we all used to say that we've had enough of politicians who don't live in the real world but in a bubble in D.C.? Well, we had that and DAMN he ran this county like a business (add some examples like energy independence and defeating ISIS, etc.). Don't you think it's worth our children's and grandchildren's future to have a businessman like Trump fix our country? We don't have to like his style since the results are FAR more important than the person. Wouldn't you agree? Just look at Xiden, that guy is a multi-decade politician and we've only gone backward and downwards since this politician got in office. Yeah, I love DeSantis too, but we already KNOW that Trump can fix America, he's done it TWICE already and we have NO TIME to waste or second guess. I think we get Trump back, then we can focus on who can maintain our great Republic."
His age really gives it away too. I'm in my 40's and everyone older than me gets their news from the boob tube and everyone younger than me gets their news from social media.
I've noticed that the degree of awakenedness seems to ebb and flow with age as I see a bunch in their 40/50s who are asleep normies then 60/70s more cognizant people until 80s braindead sheep. I think there are generational factors.
Really??? Do you actually know anyone in your 50s because as someone who recently entered theirs, none of us are acting or living as you describe. We don’t watch cable because don’t have fucking cable, we got rid of it years ago. we get our information from the Internet, we have all the latest tacking crap because we can afford it , etc. I started working during the.com boom so was always fully immersed in that culture. in fact I would say Gen Xers are probably the most well-rounded people that I know generally speaking. We’re not retards like boomers or narcissists and retards like their offspring. How’s that for generalizations.
I'm genX too, and good for you and your peers but just look at the statistics. Ratings for tv show the general audience age. My comment was not an insult to you, so get off your high horse please. And yes everyone i know in their 50's watch tv and the only "tech" they know how to use if FB. Maybe because i'm in the undereducated dirty south. Even the 40-something's I know never learned how to use a computer beyond email. Guessing your from somewhere more "refined".
I’m not lol! I’m really surprised to hear you say that about your friends and that age group… It’s just my exact opposite experience. I live in the rural west for what it’s worth, drive a 8 year old bottom of the line car. I am not refined but I am a lady. :)
Hon, I'm in my 60's and it took me 20 gradually unfolding years of reading Internet alt media and swallowing lots of red pills to get unbrainwashed. Without Internet and alternate points of view, I never would have figured anything out. Just having alternatives to official narratives helped me gradually sort things out. Most people, young and old, dismiss things contrary to what they have been taught. It's all just "conspiracy theory" and thus to be dismissed. Frankly I enjoy reading CT for fun. It's better than detective novels.
I'm 65, have an almost lifelong friend of same age, and he is totally brainwashed by MSM. His comment to me, when I bring up anything that counters the MSM narrative, is, "Well, you have your source of news and I have mine". For my 90-yr-old, lifetime Democrat mother, it's similar, but also the fact that she has been a Democrat her whole life makes it even harder for her to see how evil the Democrat party has become.
His age really gives it away too. I'm in my 40's and everyone older than me gets their news from the boob tube and everyone younger than me gets their news from social media.

Fucking smacked the Kool Aid right out of his mouth! LOL
Oooh YEEEEEEAAHHH !!!
Seems like he's one of those people who mistake arrogance with wisdom.
Dude u are way switched on compared to him
wisdom comes with age but also the older you are the harder it is to except that beliefs formed before the wisdom of age came can be verry flawed.
At one time I was a bush apologizer...I had to realize over the last 10 years how wrong I was about a lot of stuff.
This came because of the wisdom of age but a lot of the stuff that I had wrong was hard to admit.
Pride comes before the fall and arrogance is the bad friend that we all at some point embrace.
Perfect reply.
hahaha
I just tell them we need Ron in Florida and that the left would treat Ron the same. Idc what he thinks they will and Ron will cave. Then I list all the ballsy shit Trump did that actually pissed off the left, like telling Germany their retards for buying oil from Russia and ponder if DeSantis would ever do that.
I have an older friend that says the same..
Common folk really underestimate the power of a good Governor. Hence why I doubt someone like Newsome would ever run for president.
Professional politicans know their worth. Republicans are kinda bad at politics and have a hard time uniting under one cause, staying focused, and in place. I so hope DeSantis doesn't run. It would be dumb of him to.
DeSantis needs to be gov of FL under another Trump term or two. THEN he can run for prez.
Considering that the Democrats idea of a Florida governor was an unknown black man with a bad cocaine habit who was found with unconscious male prostitutes in his hotel room. Without DeSantis in the office the Democrats would have their type of candidate selected, not elected.
It is already being reported that DeSantis is going to announce a '24 run after the mid-terms.

A-MAZING!

With Fox and the other mainstream media, a good saying is "with friends like that, who needs enemies?"

Amen.
This.
Same
I wasn't saying ALL, it was a generalization based on people I know.
Didn't you just lump them into a group by saying that?
I'm not saying you're wrong about them.
I'm just saying if you can't handle a generalization without calling it an offensive stereotype .... which is what you just said ... you're kinda doing EXACTLY what they do when they accuse us of being racist.

Do you even hear yourself? Ffs I thought we were learning to actually think in here. Catch up pup or be left behind.

Updoot!!
God bless you! I can't get my dad to remember how to turn on a computer.
Best I can do is his cell phone and he figured out how to send emoticons. Still has a problem sending a picture one in a while but making progress.
That's the other side of it. Most people I hang with are younger than me. I can keep up neither most people 30 yos
I occasionally watch CBS "news" (the only network I can get from my attic antenna :) ) to see what the latest leftist propaganda is, and then see how conservative media reports on the same stories; it's pretty eye-opening and would be great if the Democrat minions tried that (of course, they would just say that the conservative news is "fake news")
Many people older than you get their news online, especially those who realize how corrupt the media is.
People older than 40 only get their news from TV. Kids say the darndest things.😂😂😂😂
That's OK. They'll grow up someday v
Bullshit. I'm 60 and I've been watching this stuff for 30 years. I don't watch any msm.

Don't say Everyone 😁 57 and I see.
I'm eighty and have been "red pilled" all my life.
I haven't owned a tv for twenty years.
Adios escape. The world doesn't need your very dumb prejudice.
My "peers" are not identified as peers by age. It's just a little more complex than that.
You need to look at yourself more accurately. Find out what you yourself are and you will know others better than you do.
Often, but not always, this knowledge comes with age. Occasionally it is found in youth.
I've noticed that the degree of awakenedness seems to ebb and flow with age as I see a bunch in their 40/50s who are asleep normies then 60/70s more cognizant people until 80s braindead sheep. I think there are generational factors.
Hey..I’m 67 and I’ve been pretty much up to speed since November e, 2020. I HOPE I’m not the exception!
I like boobs though...
Really??? Do you actually know anyone in your 50s because as someone who recently entered theirs, none of us are acting or living as you describe.

Well I live in the worst educated and heaviest incarcerated area. Lots of people just care about food and entertainment and that's all.
