This is one of those situations where “ok boomer” is an acceptable response.
Buzz-word salad. His constituents are like, “That’s right! Got 'em!”
uh if you’re a millennial you have ALWAYS lived under the nuclear threat dude
all nuclear weapons were famously disarmed and destroyed once the Cold War ended right?
…right?
“Sir, this is a dictionary.”
The threat of nuclear war has never gone away
Kids do active shooter drills today
Children crave the bomb not the bullet.
I love how they assume that we’re all a bunch of young kids, I’m in my 40’s and I remember doing nuke drills in elementary school and getting shown where the fallout shelters were, my stepdad is just as Left as I am and is twenty years older and his schools also had fallout shelters and nuke drills.
I’d say they need to stop generalizing people, but if they understood nuance and context they probably wouldn’t be republicans, however there are plenty of Republicans that do know the differences but just aren’t arguing in good faith, now I’m definitely also generalizing them as well by saying that. The people who aren’t aware of their generalizations need to realize that old people can be lefties, and young people can be righties, there is no age limit for becoming a fascist asshole and there’s no age limit for realizing that capitalism only benefits the wealthy.
Or how about the last few years? Iran threatening nukes, North Korea with ballistic missile threats, Russia threatening to nuke everyone every other day, china building relations with Cuba, drills happening off of Alaska.
I mean, do we face these threats today, no? No idea what that tweet is saying.
