Boebert's hypocritical "family values" family is the least surprising thing in this article. I'm more surprised that Colorado has a town called Rifle.
I'm more surprised he wasn't shot while breaking into cars in a town called rifle. I'm sure she'd be totally fine with it if he was, right? Or is that only minorities that deserve death for theft?
It won't be long before whites are a minority in this country. So I guess then he would deserve death for even the smallest of infractions.
Did I really need to add /s?
Yes. Right wingers say that kind of thing earnestly all the time. Don’t expect people to give you the benefit of the doubt when you start in with ‘white replacement’ rhetoric.
I get where you are coming from. I was speaking of demographic shifts that have been projected for years.
Oh and just like reddit, anyone who wants to use a little brain power could take 2 seconds and peruse my comment history. Nothing I've ever said would have me confused with a maggat.
Ah yes. Downvote legit conversation. This is how lemmy ends up looking like reddit or twitter. Lots of people will just stop contributing to the convo if this community as a whole isn't capable of adult discourse.
Oh and unlike reddit, we can see who downvotes what on lemmy. Maybe I'll start calling out the assholes as a way to kill time when I am bored.
No one is taking the time to peruse your comment history lol... Just add the /s if you want to make a sarcastic joke 🙄
Oh my God this nonce again.
They have such a victim complex.
You aren't contributing to the conversation my dude. You are making the conversation about you.
Are you done?
You seem like an alright person. Just a recommendation, now is a pretty good time for self reflection. Your comment didn't sound at all sarcastic and there's no reason for anyone to check your history. Just mark it with /s next time so we know.
There seem to be a lot of geographic locations named Rifle around there, but it looks like the name originated at Rifle Creek which got its name from someone finding a rifle along its banks in the 19th century. If Wikipedia can be believed, that is.
I trust Wikipedia more than the news now.
Like Pueblo, which is basically just a town called Town.
Less to do with the mid west, and more to do with the Wild West. It’s an old ranching town.
I think people often misunderstand "family values" from redneck trash families. They're not hypocrites, generally, in this. Teenagers being trashy happens regardless of parents political leanings, the real hypocrisy would be if they went to the abortion clinic. They usually don't. It'd be a lot smarter, but then they'd have to change their views when confronted with the consequences, and that's horribly hypocritical. Person should maybe really think things through before it's convenenient.
