You need to understand that huge amounts of people don't tune in to anything. And the methods to reach them are well dialed in by whoever reaches them.

    Have you not been around old people in the last 30 years? That’s all they fucking watch. Then they listen to right wingers like Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity on the radio when they get in their car. It never ends. They are constantly bombarded by bullshit 24/7.

    I am an old person. So when you say "they" you are absolutely wrong. Say "a lot" or "some" if you are interested in being closer to the truth at all. We are all bombarded with bullshit and it comes in many different forms from many different people. Maybe even you?

    There is more than one way to read *all of the retired old fucks".

    You seem to have read it as meaning that "all old people watch that crap."

    I read it as, there are old people, look at the subset of them who watch that crap.

    Yeah. I guess I need things carved in stone. I don't like to make mental leaps as I'm usually wrong. I get your point though, even the bible and the constitution come down to interpretation.

    You don’t have to get into semantics about it. To young people like me who see it so often, it feels this way to us. It does not mean every old person does this obviously… I was exaggerating, but it doesn’t come out that way when writing. If I was saying this with my voice and put emphasis on it via cadence then you’d understand where I was coming from.
