Out of all the posts in this thread, THIS is the thing that infuriated me the most.
Someone posted this non-ironically on GAF. I need to find that thread.

Umm yeah this seems like it was posted at the wrong demographic. Unless I'm missing something.From a page called "Right Wing News"
Uhh...if that's the case, shouldn't you want to raise taxes on the rich?
That, and its completely false.
LOL, god damn.

This is my most disliked. Oblivious that they're supporting soldiers being paid shit.
I just mentally threw up. This is the kind of mentality that is fucking over soldiers when they're out. All the veteran affairs bureaucreatic nightmare (AHLTA VistA) is fucked up enough as it is, and now you have to paint soldiers being satisfied with low wages. That's just presumptous and insulting.

So everyone complaining about the Confederate flag are the ones on government assistance? Not the ones who are actually FLYING it on their trailer?
Also, this girl is from fucking Minnesota. She has never left the state.
Don't underestimate the Northwestern Minnesota population of rednecks.

Oh god, more of that shit.
Seriously, right wing, the left wing people protesting are usually rich trust fund kids and middle aged working people who actually represent the demographic.
The "welfare thieves" you are suggesting are protesting are in actuality probably home playing with their Obama phone and trying to fix their Obama care.
She spent 95% of her life in suburban St. Paul and in St. Cloud in an upper-middle class household! She married a god damn upper-middle class hispanic guy and they only listen to pop and hip-hop! She has no connection to redneck culture, country culture, or the South except that her dad hunts and is from a rural area and that her cousin lives in the South (ME!).
It's literally a "I'm right wing, so I need to be upset about this" situation.
I mean, if she was from Wisconsin I'd get it...

Coming into this thread genuinely makes me feel depressed.
But then I read GAFers replies and feel like some humanity is restored <3

There has always been this kind of intellectual divide in society, it's just far more obvious thanks to the Internet.
Society isn't getting dumber, but the dumb sure did get a much bigger megaphone.
I only have one guy on Facebook who posts this kind of crap, but it is SUPER over the top racist. I haven't removed him yet because he's fairly new, and I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Edit: Ok, I had to go get a screen grab of one of the videos posted. I didn't want to use the link for click through for obvious reasons. This made me chuckle because of how over the top it is.

If it only were 64k in the whole of USA, that would be a good ratio, actually
How many people like an average post about the flag being put down?

Have a relative (sort of, the sister of my aunt) who posts this stuff but I guy I watch soccer with posts a lot of the "Conservative ___" posts -- not necessarily images, often videos and the like. Here are a few recent gems from him:
One minute on snopes shows me Jeff Foxworthy never said any of that, which is usually the same case with most of the stuff that has been posted.

I think the bigger question here is who taught these fools how to Photoshop?
Wait...does Tylenol even have cotton packed in anymore?
Jesus. It's like conservatives don't know how taxation works.
You know I may be missing something but "pay tax only on what you spend" seems like a very quick trip to economic stagnation.
I too can't wait for 37% sales tax.

I mean sales tax is around 10% in my area. It would easily be 30-40% minimum if they wanted to get rid of income tax. Probably way higher honestly. All it benefits is the super rich who of course is paying for these candidates who support this

Anytime I see stuff like this I just go on snopes. Great website.
Whoa whoa whoa, why are we dragging Lou Holtz into this
"Act like you've been there before" is hilarious considering that for most of the people in that crowd, this is the very first day in their lifetimes that the Confederate flag isn't flying at the State House
Conservatives really really seem to have a problem understanding the first amendment.
This aunt in particular a few weeks ago shared a link to the story of the Oklahoma having to take the 10 commandments down from the courthouse and her take on it was "What about our first amendment!?"
It's really not that hard of a thing to grasp, but alas...
Oh boy, I've been pondering this for awhile now. I have a friend who lives in the south. She's a dear friend and the only way we keep in contact is fb, as we are over 2000 miles apart. But I'm growing tired of the political shit she's posting. She claims she isn't racist. But she's real darn ignorant. I don't want to unfollow her. I like seeing her baby grow up and how she's doing. And I've never commented on any of her ignorant posts. All I can do is ignore it. I hope she wises up some day.

So many holes in this one. Like, do you not see the TSA stations at airports to prevent that sort of thing from happening again? Do you not realize that there are practical uses for that object that has nothing to do with killing anything?

My brain just atrophied trying to understand their reasoningJust saw this bad boy.
Just saw this bad boy.
They're so bad at these image macros. Like, if you do the two separated lines thing typically the bottom line is like a joke or refutation of the top one. These just seem unrelated. They involve flags and that's about it.
It really seems common with a lot of these. They try to use meme images and ideas just totally misunderstand what made them a meme in the first place.
You'd think conservatives of all people would understand the difference between private and public property/actions, too.
Just saw this bad boy.
Any Germans here? Are their groups in Germany that have this same argument with the Nazi flag? "It's celebrating our German cultural heritage, it's not racist!"
Liberal propaganda.
Jesus was a private charity, which is the only place we should receive a handout.
rofl wutthis is not the way to do it tho
lmao
Lol I don't understand why they used that picture
They're not pro-life. They will gladly kill you in a war.
