Every liberal, they are reborn anew each day with no memories whatsoever of the past

    The weird thing is I was also in my young teens, but seeing the libs dunking on Bush like they did Trump - with the same ineffectualness - plus things like protest music and Michael Moore, actually helped prime me for being a communist later in life.

    I remember questioning everything, never trusting the news, and now to see people fall for this shit again and again since 2014ish is fucking maddening.

      When the war was in full swing, I used to go to all the rallies. After I realized nobody was there to actually do anything effective, I knew these weren’t my people. 15 year old me was smoking pot and reading Abbie Hoffman. I fancied myself as an old school 60’s leftist, still kinda do. I would come into the protests all full of piss and vinegar, and I would get told by the old folks there I was doing it wrong. Fuck them. Fuck them so hard!
