"... yeah that's not the left you know the US republicans ended slavery not the democrats..."

I was driving a scissor lift and don't know anyone involved in the conversation or I'd likely have asked.

Someone tell me this is a quote from the hot new TV show pluribus or something because that small set of words had me off my game all day.

Like what could he have been saying 'thats not the left' about? America didn't end slavery? We don't even live there?

Probably something stupid and boring like "Democrats are the real fascists" or whatever.

I'm surprised anyone bothers with this horseshit anymore. It's very 00s.

Yeah that's partly why iwas confused. Did he get transported here from 20 years ago

It always astounded me how some of my coworkers would act like they stepped out of a time machine from 10-20 years ago. I remember them sharing memes that were stale when I was in highschool, or talking about a movie that released a decade ago as if it had just come out, it really feels like some people think that if they just found out about something, it must be new for everyone and never look into the history of anything.
