lmao fucking 2009 is now the mythical conservative golden age? I wonder what conservatives in 2009 had to say about the year 2009. I’m sure they weren’t saying anything about ‘Murican society being the deepest in the shitter it’s ever been because of gay people and Mexicans and satanic Obama socialism or anything.
Is this dipshit 12 fucking years old or is chud memory worse than an Alzheimer’s ridden Boe Jiden? A 2009 chud would have used the left image as an example of how the gay satanist cabal had destroyed america
When I was a teenager, I had several frustrating conversations with chuds twice my age who went along with the pivot from "we have to invade Iraq because it has weapons of mass destruction" to "we're here to free the Iraqi people" as though the invasion had never been justified on any grounds except the latter. I was legitimately baffled that anyone could be that stupid (this was before Roderic Day's "Masses, Elites, And Rebels" or Fred Clark's "False Witnesses").
And then by the time Trump came round in 2016 and said "we never should have been in Iraq" all those same idiots agreed.
Even if you're a reactionary fuckhead, it's much easier to believe we can go back to 2009 than 1949 (or whatever other year). And considering capitalisms has not stopped for a single second in it's quest to vaporize everything that is, I'd mich prefer to live in 2009 too compared to today.
