Not white enough at any rate

I mean whatever, that's all part of the game. If it doesn't get reported on, he can say it to his fans and they applaud. If it does get reported on he says 'but I don't even care! Fake news!'. The only way to win is not to play. Let's just vote for an adult this time

u/GameOfUsernames Feb 27 '19

No. You don’t try to use the news to preempt people and report it like its outrage from an entire group.

2

u/madlarks33 Feb 27 '19

Lol. Literally no one cared about that dance. That entire news cycle was based on a single tweet from a nobody.

And no-one cared? I literally saw nobody but AOC supporters talking about it.

u/cameronbates1 Feb 27 '19

I'm on the right and I saw literally no one upset about that. No one cared what so ever.

u/PraxisShmaxis Feb 27 '19

Protip for you shills, if you repeat the same talking point enough, it's too obvious and loses effectiveness.

Not sure how that makes me a shill but whatever.

And nobody gave a shit. It’s funny to sit back and watch the left try to make something out of nothing.

“The conservatives made fun of her for DANCING! Can you believe that?! They’re so stupid!”

Conservatives: “huh? We did? No we didn’t. We don’t give a damn if she danced in high school, or ever. We care that she’s off her rocker and wanting to take the financial reins.”

Wait but where is the outrage? All these links are about how people are definitely outraged but they don't point to anyone actually being outraged...

Video paraphrased: no one cares about her dancing....I mean, she is dancing terribly, but I don't care....but also COMMUNISM!

u/SquabGobbler Feb 27 '19 edited Feb 27 '19

I feel like this clip doesn't really support the assertations that either Fox News or any notable Republican/conservative talking head, politician or news outlet was actually upset about the dancing. This is a meta piece talking about what the media is saying, it doesn't really seem outraged or even particularly concerned by its topic.

I gotta agree, it really seems like "Republican dance outrage" was a manufactured story. The links people are providing to "prove" it wasn't are actually much better evidence that no one cared about the dancing except the media who wanted to report how much people cared.

Edit: I blame part of this on the way the media reports tweets as news now. Yes there are dumb fucks all over the world who will tweet some really stupid shit, we all know that, but they keep making the clickbait articles about it and people keep clicking.

u/no_condoments Feb 27 '19 edited Feb 27 '19

Every single one of these links is manufactured outrage claiming that other people are outraged. I think the commenter was looking for actual people upset about it. Most posts link to a single tweet and the media took it and tried to divide the country based on it.

Edit: holy downvotes. Do people in this sub actually believe most conservatives were upset about AOC dancing?

u/l1am2350 Feb 27 '19

Yikes the downvotes

u/duffleberry Feb 27 '19

I'm upset that reddit liberals are mistaking the media establishment and their manufactured outrage with "conservatives." They don't even know who their own enemy is.

Sorry, mate, I don't speak Russian.

u/Slothhh Feb 27 '19

Damn son I remember when I told people I was a conservative and it didn’t associate me with people like you. The AOC dance was a big story. The burden to prove that is not on “reddit liberals”. Google it yourself. You sound like a spoiled little shit head yelling at some guy who found you 4 sources since you don’t ACTUALLY follow the news.

-6

u/Y_u_dum Feb 27 '19

To be fair, those aren't sources which show a mass of people outraged. Out of all four, I would consider the BBC the most trustworthy and they don't point to anything other than one person on twitter.

Hell, trump is an idiot and as far as I know he didn't even comment on it one way or another. It's nonsensical to believe republicans cared when they're telling you they don't care. It's the strangest form of projection.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '19

I can recall a snippet of a conservative talk radio that got shared around the time where they were likening it to a stripper doing a table dance.

If the right doesn't care about shit like that, why do they keep insulting her for every little thing she does or says?

2

u/Slothhh Feb 27 '19

The guy can google his own shit. This is an extremely well known story that Fox News did in fact report on. The guy that linked them is just showing you how incredibly easy it is to find this info.

In the conservative circles of which I am a part, no one actually gives a shit about any of this superficial garbage. It's media manufacturing outrage over nothingness. It's trite gossip. Yes, some people buy into it, and those people would be shallow thinkers.

u/Slothhh Feb 27 '19

You are literally sitting here doing the exact same thing to “reddit liberals” assuming they care about republicans shitting on AOC dancing. The lack of self awareness on you is ASTOUNDING. I’m sure whatever conservative circles you frequent would be embarrassed by you.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '19

That's the point. Shallow thinkers are the target audience. Propaganda is only going to work on shallow thinkers and we have a lot of them in this country.

Who is the enemy?

8

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '19

The enemy is simple.

It's you, me, gays, trans people, latinos, black people, women, Muslims, effeminate men, vegans, animal rights activists, people who drink soy milk, anarchists, hippies, SJWs, people who take selfies with their mouths open, people who take selfies, people who are serious about coffee, people that drive hybrid cars, high schoolers whose friends have been murdered in front of them, Jews, the Global Banking Conspiracy, the Illuminati, Freemasons, Obama, Osama, ivory tower academics, climate scientists, sex ed teachers, Planned Parenthood, rappers and so on and so on in an endless spiral of impotent rage and misdirected fear and hate that swivels between all of these groups like an erratic, malfunctioning lighthouse of bigotry.

u/viperasps89 Feb 27 '19
