      There’s a small craft brewery in small-town Wisconsin that partnered with a coffee roaster to make a canned coffee called “Woke”. The coffee is pretty good, and the beer is damn good.

      They piss off the local right-wing government, so they’re constantly getting shut down, but it usually only lasts a couple weeks.

        A true “Patriot” would follow the trail of the filter. Where did the raw materials come from for the filter? where was it manufactured? how was it shipped to the store? Who put it on the shelf? If a dirty librul ever touched it then it can’t be certified as “non-woke”

      Not sure but the water out of your faucet is much less likely to have something wrong with it and if it is not completely free it is very very close to it.

        I think they do, it’s just not repeated ad-nauseam and attached to everything like the Cons do. Free to be LGBTQ, free to read the books you want, free to organize labor, etc… Real, tangible, life-improving freedoms. Cons? All they want is freedom to take everyone else’s rights away. That’s their “freedom”.

          But that’s the thing. The Dems want to campaign like they have for the past century, going out and making sensible campaign stops every so often. Obama was trying to change this, and honestly had the right of it - you blast your message everywhere, all at once, KEEP REPEATING IT, and shorten the general gist until it can fit in a meme.

    she got the idea for the brand while watching the Republican debates, where she noticed audience members drinking water that had “no connection to the people drinking it.”

    They could have been drinking the same water as the blue team. Disgusting.

      That’s just what I was thinking. It should contain added microplastics and industrial waste. And it should come in bottles made of plastic that cant’ be recycled and never breaks down. That would be the proper way to support right wing environmental policies. It would also be another “don’t get vaccinated” way for them to kill their own supporters.

      I jokingly asked my wife recently if I could quit my job and become a right wing YouTuber. I have worked in video and audio production for over a decade, I would have an operation up and running in probably a week if I really wanted to do it. We laughed and sighed…And then realized that unfortunately, I would probably be at least modestly successful.

        I think the way you need to do it is The Onion style of journalism, with a wink and a nod. BUT when your crazy ass right wing theories get shared as “FACTS” on other social media sites you don’t dispute it. I kinda think that is how most right wing YouTubers do it.

      I liked it better when W.C. Fields was attributed to have said it (although it isn’t definite that he did).

      He did say some fun things in about booze in films though:

      I was in love with a beautiful blonde once, dear. She drove me to drink. That’s the one thing I’m indebted to her for.

      I exercise extreme self-control. I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast.

      Whilst traveling through Afghanistan, we lost our corkscrew. Had to live on food and water for several days.

      He also once said something serious which is also my own policy:

      Hell, I never vote for anybody. I always vote against.
