And then at one point he screams out that he has a five year old and a six year old or something like that, then back to the usual. He probably screams it twenty times at least, yelling about as hard as physically possible. You can hear his vocal chords giving out near the end. I hope he lost his damn voice.

I'm sure this guy thinks all the benefits he gets at work are just provided to him because of the benevolence of his employer. The vitriol towards "Democrats" like the party is filled with raging leftists is astounding. He should check the voting on the last 20 plus years of military appropriations.

This asshole has let Rush Limbaugh and Fox news shit in his skull for a long, long time. He thought he understood the world. Unfortunately, you can't escape reality. And reality and his fantasy worldview are coming together headon like a couple steam locomotives.

His white male ego won't allow him to admit he was wrong. Therefore, he's completely threatened by the reality that's crashing down around his ears. Introspection is obviously not this mans strong suit so he lashes out. And if he was 5 years old, that might be acceptable.


And so I say....

Milwaukee, as you know, is a blue collar city and that means a lot of factory and mill jobs along with truck drivers, rail workers and longshoremen. They probably didn't go to college and their primary group of people exist at work and the bar or some sports activity. There's not a lot of interest in expanding their views because anything outside their little groupthink situation is too much for them ...because they don't understand the rest of the world. Spent some time there as a blue collar worker myself back in the day.

I might pity them. For those of us with an actual intellect you take the facts given and change your worldview. Obviously, this asshole has no intellect. His deepest thoughts consist of "hmm. Burgers or pizza for lunch." And because he's a white male, he gets to enjoy all the priveledge that that entails. He's never had to think deeply. He gets to go through life worrying about whether or not the fucking Brewers are going to do well this season. Whether or not his local liquor store will have his favorite microbrew in stock. America has always had his back. So FOX news makes sense. Rush Limbaugh makes sense.

Critical thinking has never been a strong suit for him, because it wasn't necessary. He's had the luxury of coasting through life never worrying about the police gunning him down. Whether he could land a job. Rape. Sexual harassment. These things don't occur to him. That's the way it is. I'm a white male. I know. I don't have to worry about that shit either. But, I was taught empathy from a young age thank Christ. Obviously this guy wasn't. Now, he's feeling the competition that he never thought he'd have to worry about. And it scares him. And the lies he's been told aren't holding up to the real world. It's terrifying. I get it. But rather than accepting the world for what it is and changing his worldview. He doubles down on fantasy and lashes out at reality.

Unfortunately, we're going to be seeing this for 10 or 15 years as white male Amerikkka goes through it's death throes. And, people are going to get hurt. People are going to die. There's no escaping that fact. But it's my belief, that we come out stronger on the other side.

going through grief. As in all matters when life shatters your comfortable worldview people go through the grieving process. Anger is among the first steps. Eventually it should lead to accepting things as they are, but unfortunately too many men can’t get past their anger.

They have everything they've ever wanted.

Hate crimes are on the rise.

Civil rights are being threatened at every turn.

The world is lurching dangerously to the right.

Old alliances are dying.

Old enmities are reviving.

They have everything they want.

They have the President they've always wanted.





Why are they so ANGRY???

"Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."

They've already passed the fear phase and they're well into the anger phase and starting the hate phase. Then they will enter a long suffering phase. What comes after that?

50. Cognitive dissonance
Wed Feb 13, 2019, 05:57 AM
Feb 2019

Cognitive dissonance refers to a situation involving conflicting attitudes, beliefs or behaviors. This produces a feeling of mental discomfort leading to an alteration in one of the attitudes, beliefs or behaviors to reduce the discomfort and restore balance.

If this is you, please take 3 Chuck it in the Fuck it Bucket Pills and call your shrink in the morning.
