I've got the heavy drawl and I've taken it around the world with me. Depending on who I'm talking to I can crank it up and get by with some shit. I've also got that Texas preacher cadence when I need it. You know the one, you get really excited about something then drop it down to almost a whisper while smiling. It makes people lean in and pay attention. Think Kenneth Copeland but as an actual human instead of a devil in a skin suit and without religion at all. It's definitely a trick for the snake oil salesman but I've seen it so much that I naturally fall into it if I'm presenting. And it fucking works with certain kinds of people. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (1 child) I know exactly what you’re talking about, I absolutely crank it and pull it back in specific scenarios as called for, my lilt is more on the Andy Griffith/Matlock side of thing's but it’s wild how much more seriously folks take you when you really put it on permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I really want to hear a conversation between you two as I can only imagine what it sounds like. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) Imagine Rust Cohle from True Detective and Rylan Givens from Justified and you’d probably be close permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I know both of those, surprisingly; I'll check videos to remind me.

Unfortunately the seeds of the cancer that is the current Republican party has been sown by the Nixon administration before he was elected and had begun to bear fruit when Reagan ran against him. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago (1 child) I like to say he was the best man ever to be President and that he had great policies, but that he was not an effective President. He was too honest to play the game. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (1 child) What does that say about our society? Can you imagine taking the same attitude as a scientist? Nothing would ever work because it relies on foundational truth and integrity. The reason lying in politics is acceptable is because the citizenry is allowing it through the ballot box. These idiots can't do science or politics but they have the same voting rights as everyone else. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago Lying works because our schools don't teach critical thinking anymore. They are so obsessed with rote, bullshit memorization that there isn't any room or time left for critical thinking permalink fedilink source parent [–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago* Oh I fully agree, being a good president can only make you a better citizen. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 years ago Yeah, the Republican party had a strong progressive wing before Nixon. Lincoln, Teddy, and Eisenhower were all progressives by modern standards. permalink fedilink source parent

Unfortunately the seeds of the cancer that is the current Republican party has been sown by the Nixon administration before he was elected and had begun to bear fruit when Reagan ran against him. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago (1 child) I like to say he was the best man ever to be President and that he had great policies, but that he was not an effective President. He was too honest to play the game. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (1 child) What does that say about our society? Can you imagine taking the same attitude as a scientist? Nothing would ever work because it relies on foundational truth and integrity. The reason lying in politics is acceptable is because the citizenry is allowing it through the ballot box. These idiots can't do science or politics but they have the same voting rights as everyone else. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago Lying works because our schools don't teach critical thinking anymore.
