      DEI PURPLE HAIRED LESBIAN FIRE MARSHALL!!!

      That’s what my dad told me.

      She does not have purple hair and she’s been there for 20+ years, previously holding the position of fire chief. She is well-respected by her peers.

            It’s the new term for woke. Just a general purpose catch all term for anything marginally progressive they don’t like.

          Nope, but close. He’s a Drudge Report reader and a secret Fox watcher (he’ll never admit it but it’s always the last channel on their TV)

              [edit] sorry if you got multiple notifications. My app was being weird and replying to the wrong comments

              Because my mom has a brain and hated Trump before he ran for office. She wasn’t quiet about her opinion and she’d tell at him for watching it.

              A lack of tech literacy. It’s not bookmarked (therefore it doesn’t exist to him) and he stopped listening to the radio after Rush Limbaugh went off the air.

              If it was obvious he watched Fox even though he “tried” to hide it, why do you think he could keep it secret?

              He will defend anyone he likes if I say something shitty about them but he’s never once defended Alex Jones. He never really bought into the extreme conspiracies like false flags or pizza gate, either.

              He’s a conflicted man.

      Yeah their strategy seems to be sniping out folks at the top (politically speaking) by singling them out & turning the State propaganda machine on full blast, alienating them & forcing them to defend themselves when no one else has the time or energy because, you know, everything is literally on fire.

      Pretty gross & probably a preview of the next (at least) 4 years. I hope it fails.

      “DEI MADE THE WATER SYSTEM UNABLE KEEP UP” is such an obviously stupid take. There’s not enough water to put the fires out
