re: #179 Targetpractice

You could Mad-Libs this shit, because it’s always pretty much a cookie-cutter rant. Like Jacob Wohl always stumbling across a “hipster coffee shop” where the liberals are secretly Trump lovers, these wingnuts always have a “vet I helped out” story.

But it’s never simply “a veteran,” it’s always “a homeless veteran” or “a disabled veteran” or “an elderly veteran.” They always have to have a qualifier because that just makes the act of “charity” much more meaningful than if it were simply a vet.

And in place of the “illegals,” you could substitute the stereotypical “young buck” who sidled up to the register with a fresh lobster and case of beer or the “welfare queen” with a mess of ill-behaved kids who look like they all have different daddies.

About the only thing missing from this tweet (but, of course, in the replies) is the bit about how, after paying with food stamps, the “other” then took their groceries out to a brand-new vehicle (generally whatever is priciest at the time). And always flaunting something that shows they’re secretly bilking the welfare system, with jewelry or flashy clothes being the sign of yesteryear and “new” electronic devices being the sign these days.

New generation, same old shit.

I still think my favorite wingnut story was our old pal CCJ’s conversation with a black woman.
