    Oh my god it took me forever to realize that “Are rights have been taken away” contained a grammar error. I need more sleep.

    Image Transcription:


    [Photo of the back of a white car with a censored Nevada license plate. The phrases “Covet 19”, “Vacations and mandeats are killing us in the Land of Free”, and “Are rights have been taken away” are somewhat crudely written on the back of the car in black marker.]

    Proper translation:

    Covid 19 vaccines and mandates, are killing us in the land of the free. Our rights are being taken away from us.

    I’m not sure about the vaccines as we’re entering Alex Jones territory there that’s not really my place to comment on

    but i can say the potential hillbilly has a point in my opinion the covid 19 mandates were poorly miss-managed almost everywhere across the globe. Lots of mom and pop shops had to close doors even some bigger businesses which created alot of job loses and lots of people were affected financially people whom struggled to put food on the table buy petrol pay for the leccy and keep a roof on there head. All this over poorly managed goverments and bureaucrats across the world and on top of this you got governments telling you what todo and if you didn’t follow through with the governments demands you could land your self a heafty fine and some prison time. I can see why people may be starting to get pissed off

    For those who are wondering if this picture is real or not, I couldn’t say. But I have seen a fair share of misspellings and bad grammar written on trucks about similar sentiments in Nevada (seeing where the license in the picture belongs to). The take away of this is that usually there is a correlation between education and conspiracies (believing in misinformation), and it’s a very real, serious issue in this country.

      More specifically, we don’t really teach source analysis in a lot of schools anymore. I’ve run into college students who have no idea of how to discern that a source is bullshit - especially if the site or source looks well-polished and sounds like it knows what it’s talking about. Even a lot of Q people have figured out that the best way to draw people in is to look and sound professional, not just ranting into a camera in your truck cabin - you need a nice backdrop, and probably a polo shirt at minimum.

        Right!?

        When Republicans were initially investingating the 2020 election in Georgia, they called in a “forensic imaging specialist” who said that they would be able to determine which ballots were fabricated. I got a lot of flack for questioning the guy’s credentials online, but literally his biggest accomplishment in life was inventing a crappy barcode scanner shaped like a cat, and it was a huge flop.

        r/conservative was adamant that this dunce was going to overturn the election in Georgia…

        Somebody should let the GOP know so they stop trying to defund education! Surely they wouldn’t want entire generations of people growing up to be ignorant, conspiracy believing assholes with no critical thinking skills!

    These “people” don’t even understand what they don’t understand and most aren’t capable of doing so. Why do we pander to them?

      Probably because they vote… every damn time.

      These are the exact type of people that sit at home watching Fox News all day, every day. Getting outraged at ridiculous made up controversies and big lies that are designed to convince them that the only way to “save this country” and solve all of their obvious problems is to vote Republican. And when the Republicans get in power of all three branches, like Trump for example, now it’s the “deep state” and the Democrats that are holding him back and the answer is yet again, more Republicans.

      That’s why I personally will never understand the people who intentionally don’t vote. The dumbest, most brainwashed motherfuckers in the entire country are going to show up and help put their corrupt overlords in place, and y’all are just gonna let them pull the rope? That’s something i’ll never understand.

    Not exactly a rave review of the American educational system.

    No wonder European countries don’t accept US high school diplomas as sufficient for acceptance into a college or university.
