I feel the need to drop a little truth on y'all. So buckle upâŚIâm about to be politically incorrect.
We donât need to take America back. No one stole it. Itâs right hereâŚyouâre sitting in it. Chillax.
Mexico isnât going to pay for the wall and weâre not going to deport millions of people and break up families. If you think either one is a good idea, youâre not smart and probably not a person I want to hang out with.
We donât live in a democracy. Technically we are a Federal Republic. But in reality we are ruled by an oligarchy. If you donât know what that is, look it up. Reading will do you good. You probably need to do more of it.
FoxNews, CNN, and MSNBC have an agenda and are not âfair and balancedâ or in any way unbiased. Iâll reiterateâŚread more. Read newspapers (even online ones). Read lots of opinions and sources and then (stay with me here), THINK! Form your own opinion based on as many facts as your can brain can tolerate.
Speaking of factsâŚthere actually is a difference between facts, opinions, and propaganda. You should learn the difference. (Another opportunity to show off your mad reading skills.)
Science is real. We know things because of science. Donât be afraid of it. You have an iPhone and Facebook because of science. Itâs your friend.
Global warming or âclimate changeâ as the cool kids call it IS REAL. Anyone who tells you itâs not real is not a smart person and probably should not be dressing themselves or caring for children.
Racism exists. And you are probably a little racist and should work on that. Seriously.
American Christians are not under attack. We are not being persecuted. We wield so much power in this country that politicians pretend to be Christian just so we will vote for them. No one is trying to take your bible away from you. The gay people are not destroying our familiesâwe donât need any help from them, thank you. We do a fine job of that by ourselves. So stop saying we are persecuted. You sound stupid.
Poor people need help. If youâre not helping them but complaining about how the government helps them with your money you are not a nice person.
Be nice to the people who teach your children. Donât send them nasty emails or yell at them. Their job is 10,000 times harder than your stupid job. You are not a professional educator so just shut your mouth and be thankful someone is willing to teach your offspring.
You donât know what Common Core is. You think you do, but you donât unless youâre a teacher. So stop complaining about math problem memes on Facebook. You canât do the math anyway.
ISIS is not an existential threat to the United States. We do not need to rebuild our military. Our military is the strongest, scariest, most badass killing machine the world has ever seen. So stop being afraid and stop letting politicians and pundits scare you.
Guns do in fact kill people. Thatâs what they are designed to do. If you feel you need a gun to protect yourself in America, you are probably living in the wrong neighborhood and should move before you go out and buy a gun. There are like a billion places to live where you wonât need a gun, or even need to lock your front door.
If you do own a gun, then make sure you know how to use it really, really, really well. SeriouslyâŚget some training because you still donât know how to record stuff with your DVR. Go to the gun range and shoot the thing a lot. Learn how to clean it properly and be able to disassemble it and reassemble it with your eyes closed. Itâs a freaking gun and it deserves that level of care, proficiency and respect. And for Godâs sake, keep it locked up and away from your kids.
If you are even a little bit crazy, sad, or pissed offâŚyou shouldnât have a gun. And the Founding Fathers would totally agree with me.
Stop being suspicious of American Muslims. I guarantee the guy sitting next to you in the cubicle at work is probably more of a threat to you than any Muslim. He has to listen to your uninformed ranting day after day and has probably already imagined very colorful and creative ways to end you.
Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and all the rest are ENTERTAINERS! Stop getting your opinions from them. (Hereâs where that reading thing can really be an advantage.)
Stop sharing Facebook memes that tell me to share or else Jesus wonât bless me with a laundry basket full of cash. Thatâs not how prayer works. And I donât want money delivered (even from God) in a laundry basket. Nobody ever washes those things out and they just keep putting nasty dirty clothes in them. Yuck!
We are the United States of America and we can afford to house every homeless veteran, feed every child, and take in every refugee and still have money left over for Starbucks and a bucket of KFC.
Unless you can trace your family line back to someone who made deerskin pants look stylish and could field dress a buffalo, you are a descendent of an immigrant. Please stop saying that immigrants are ruining our country. Such comments are like a giant verbal burrito stuffed with historical ignorance, latent racism, and xenophobia all wrapped in a fascist tortilla.
Thatâs all for now. I feel better.
