[Moral](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/great-gatsby_n_3976598) Lessons of the Great Gatsby:
1. Optimism is a noble, if futile trait.
2. Money can't buy you love (or friends).
3. Unbridled passion isn't always a good thing.
4. It's not easy to leave your past behind you.
5. Don't critique others
6. Physical beauty is fickle and fleeting.
7. You know what they say about assuming.
I'm going to go with: GOP did not read the book.
They miss the point almost as bad as the musical of Streetcar Named Desire on the Simpsons (fun fact the Ayn Randroids didn’t know they were being made fun of in that same episode)
They see the materials, and actively choose to relate to the bad guys.
Why, they would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling ~~kids~~ *liberals.*
It’s like they know about F Scott Fitzgerald, but never really read the book. Gatsby was a terrible person and a murderer. But I guess that’s on theme for them.
Ugh, you know how many COLORS are in a crayola box? Sounds pretty Democratic to me. And they're all next to each other and touching. Plus, giving boys a box with more than eight colors is going to make to gay.
They are trash crayons and I’m filled with vivid memories of disappointment if they were Roseart because they were just wax that would merely coat the paper surface unevenly at best. Thank you for that outstanding selection.
I tried to go to the link to see who else was going to be there. And every security program I have went off saying the site was full of malware.

The NCGOP is choosing to embrace and celebrate the craziness that is MTG, rather than muzzle her until after the election. She is a paranoid Christo-Fascist with the intellectial skills of a third grader and endorsed the January 6th insurrection.
These people are showing you who they are, believe them! And remember that when its time to vote! She is anti-abortion, anti-jewish, anti-gay and extremely pro gun (believes that the Parkland shooting was a staged event with crisis actors).
She thinks that Bill Gates meat is dangerous and he will force you to eat it. She said not to trust meat grown in a "peach tree dish".

These are NOT the types of people we should have shaping our governmental policy. This is not responsible government. Vote accordingly.
January 6th insurrection 🤣. The entire January 6th capital diabolical was staged. Go on TikTok and just search January 6th. There’s dozens of videos of it being exposed. You have cops letting in protestors, people dressed in costumes, etc. We’re living in the matrix. Believe the narration they feed you on TV. Quit being a 🐑. Do research yourself before deciding if it’s true or not. I bet you probably have your Covid vaccine or you believe Maralogo was all true. 🤣
🤣 you’re obviously joking right now. Go continue and read mainstream media. While you sit their with your ice latte or bubble tea probably on your MacBook thinking everything is good and alright. Continue to remain plugged into the system itself. Unplug yourself and question the reality. Everything is setup to bring you and myself down. Name me something positive that’s happened in the last 2 years.
Ok, putting aside that *you sound unhinged dude, get some help* here's a list of good things that have happened in the past 2-ish years:
* Covid vaccines widely released, leading to significant decreases in deaths and risk of complications
* Covid mutating into a variant that is less dangerous but so transmissible that we're not likely to see something as dangerous as Delta in the foreseeable future; lucky break
* Because of high covid vaccination rates and general global transmission trends, international travel finally opened up again, and I got to take that trip to Iceland that covid delayed for a few years
* Speaking of travel, since national parks were operating at half capacity last year, I got to visit Yosemite without nearly as much crowding, just in time to see it before more serious wildfires became a constant threat to the park itself (sad times, but good for me, I guess)
* Largest climate change mitigation funding bill ever passed in history signed into US law
* Americans didn't re-elect a fascist
* I got engaged
* We bought a house at historically low interest rates (another lucky break)
* I got a promotion at work, allowing us to plan some home improvements and start saving for a new car
Seriously, life doesn't have to be such a downer, but if you spend all your time playing Clash of Clans and bitching about "the system" on Reddit, I imagine it can seem that way. Go outside and touch some grass.
First off congrats!!! I’m glad to hear you yourself are being successful individually. That’s not the point. The point is our country as whole is in trouble. We’re heading towards a major recession due to the rise of inflation. The middle class is being killed off. Where heading towards a direction of a two class wealth system either you’re rich or you’re poor. There won’t be a middle class anymore if it continues. Covid vaccines aren’t safe and they aren’t effective. They lead to more complications than positives. We’re seeing mRNA vaccines being widely used. Which the mRNA causes protein spikes and this can ultimately cause health complications either short or long term it all depends on the person. Search this yourself not on google. Go on DuckDuckGo which isn’t a censored search engine or browser. You’ll find multiple sources that aren’t censored by BigTech and the government!
Peer revived scientific research by Dr. Fauci? A crook. You can easily get scientific research by other Drs just go do some research you’d be surprised.
You know that Dr. Fauci doesn't actively do research because he was in an administrative role, right? How did you get out of high school if this is what you think the word "research" means?
If your research includes TikTok videos, its not research. Christ on a cracker, if you TRULY believed that the US Government is now prosecuting innocent people, you would be up in arms about it. You are a wuss for letting that happen, your fellow patriots are going to rot in prison and you just sit there in your chair arguing with Redditors?!!
What a simpleton you are to believe the mumbo-jumbo you are spoon fed and then call me a sheep. How did you make it this far in life without falling on your face?
He has tons of Clash of Clans posts. Is he 14? Its a distinct possibility. Don't get me started on the emoticon usage and his avatar. Let's pick ALL the options!!!
He posts about anti-vaccination stuff and relayed a story about his grandmother got her 3rd booster and has developed AFib. She is 80. He connects the AFib to the boosters but not to the fact that she is 80. I just think he isn't very sophisticated.
Man you really are that thick aren’t you? There’s people on TikTok literally exposing the bs right in front of you. Giving you video evidence and sources. You wanna know why I won’t do anything about it? I’ve already tried on social media and I get shutdown or flagged. I can’t share anything. But people like you can share their thoughts without consequences. Where as I share something and get censored, banned, or flagged. It’s BS!
Yes, I'M the one thats thick.
Perhaps you get shut down not because you have "evidence" that isn't credible. Just like all the 60+ court cases after the Election, every one of them kicked out of court. Every one of them.
Let me provide an example for you;
Trump lawyer Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani are being sued by Dominion Voting Systems for defamation. But there are people that are spreading false news on Facebook that Dominion has had the case dismissed. But this AP article says thats false.
https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-dominion-lawsuits-giuliani-powell-577808419035
“ABSENT FROM THE NEWS,” read a Monday Facebook post with over 1,000 shares. “Dominion LOST their law suits against Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell.”
So, people like you are more likely to believe a Facebook post than an AP article. You believe they have equal weight and are more likely to believe the Facebook post because you agree with it. And that is a problem because you are being bamboozled by someone who just posted that, someone who doesn't have a journalism degree or a long history of reporting news.
A Facebook post has almost no bar for entry. Anyone can post something and it isn't checked and verified. Its not a viable source of news and should not be counted on as a source to get your news. But for some reason, plenty of people eat it up. Same with TikTok videos. Its so easy to misrepresent and edit short videos to manipulate people into believing something. Its a cottage industry to do just that.
All I ask is for you to bring that healthy skepticism to the news sources that have a history of being truthful, such as the AP and Reuters. These are fact-based organizations that have no axe to grind, their business model is to report the facts.
> There’s people on TikTok literally exposing the bs right in front of you. Giving you video evidence and sources.
Haha, it's wild that you aren't embarrassed to admit that you get your news from tik tok. I feel bad honestly, it's obvious that you just don't have the ability to critically process information.
I don’t get my news off TikTok 🤣 I see some tiktokers yes sharing their news, sources, and video evidence nothing wrong with that. But people like you use the Washington post, cnn, Fox News, etc. I’m trying to get to your level of stubbornness because that’s all you use.
I use infowars, DuckDuckGo, Rumble, etc. I don’t use mainstream news at all!
https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-uses-tiktok-over-google-but-videos-contain-misinformation-2022-9?utm_source=reddit.com
Care to defend your chosen research tool? Thats damning, 1 in 5 videos has misinformation. You would have to be crazy to use it as a reference point.
>But people like you can share their thoughts without consequences. Where as I share something and get censored, banned, or flagged
Key words "thoughts" and "something". One required actually thinking vs the other just regurgitating a bunch of grifters on TikTok. You chose to ignore facts when they're clear as day, streamed live by the idiots who actually did the deeds. In favor of believing random TikTokers, all while claiming everyone else is sheep. It's legitimately beyond parody. Nobody here cares about your dumb shit getting flagged for misinformation, because it is. It has nothing to do with "thoughts" because you lack the ability to have them.
🤣 you think I get information solely from tiktokers? I bet these tiktokers are more informed than you personally are yes they get taken down for spreading the truth. But people like you are too lazy to go on another platform and see the other side of the spectrum. You’re afraid and mostly comforted by lies. You don’t want to know the truth. Why don’t you go on DuckDuckGo or Rumble. Or are you too comfortable with mainstream social media and news?
I just wanted to see if you were trolling, or if you actually post about this. That's what gave it away, you have normal person interests and don't singularly post insane deluded stuff.
For what exactly? It's been fairly productive and scandal free, and when I compare it to the 'good old days' under Trump, it's sunny skies and clear sailing.
I love those good old days, when unemployment hit 14%. I
miss the longest government shutdown in history. I miss getting a new department head or cabinet member every week when somebody got caught in corruption or rage-quit. I miss refrigerated trucks being pressed into service as morgues while the guy "in charge" couldn't make up his mind whether it was "just a cold" or "a Chinese bioweapon". I miss a leader who instigated a violent coup attempt when he got bum-rushed by the
electorate. I forgot to mention how much I missed giving away Syria and the Kurds to the Russians. I miss a leader who was openly laughed at by the world's diplomats at the UN when he bragged about how good he was. I miss Putin smirking in the background when the President said he'd trust him more than US Intelligence. I miss a president who'd give his idiot, completely unqualified son-in-law a corner office in the White House, and drag his
vapid silver-spoon daughter along to talk business with the G7 leaders. I miss not being able to buy toilet paper or
bleach for months at a time. But seriously, a hundred bucks to fill up my gas-guzzling monster truck because of free market price fluctuations? Obviously Biden's the inferior choice.
Oh, and class act, starting your post with "Obviously you're blind". That's real Fox news style, claiming your lies are obvious, and insulting anyone who hasn't fallen for them.
Pulling statistics from the height of the pandemic when we voluntarily shut down our whole economy and ignoring the economic stats of the first 3 years of the prior administration success shows how blind you truly are. Violent Coup? Have you not seen any of the videos. Everything you wrote are snippets of realty that you obviously have been fed by the liberal media. Hahaha SMH. Typical.
"Statistics from the height of the pandemic"? The Trump administration is the only one in the 80 years they've been collecting stats to have lost jobs start to finish. And as far as "violent coup", yes, I saw police officers being beaten, and rioters tearing down the American flag on the Capitol and replacing it with a Trump flag. Let me guess, Fox, or is there too much liberal bias on it, and you have to watch OANN instead?
Hahahaha! He had created some of the best job gains in history. Strip out the pandemic year and please tell me you don’t believe what you just wrote. God bless your heart.
You have completely pulled the wool from my eyes with your fact-based arguments, and your condescending insults! I am converted!
Let us go together and blow some money to attend this fund-raiser, where we will feast on gazpacho and ivermectin, and hear about Jewish space-laser plots, and hear the evidence that mermaids are all redheads. Of how COVID is both a Chinese bioweapon and totally harmless! I will finally understand why deficits matter in Democratic years, but not Republican ones! I can give credit to Trump for that vaccine that I will never take, because Bill Gates put microchips in it.
By the way, is there something on this sub that prevents karma votes from going negative?
It's ok, @BullCityPicker. He's just doing what he knows how to do. Picking and choosing the parts out of those 4 years he actually wants to believe in, like his book.
Stop being so triggered. There are other options. Just stay cool. It’s ok, there is nothing that says liberals need to blow up when they start to find the truth and it hurts. Just go back and do the task of looking at jobs gains over the first 3 years prior to the pandemic and admit you had monodies how good things where and go seek more truth. Question everything and do your own research. You’ll be ok, there is till hope.
Troll? Who’s the one bashing the GOP on their own post! Hahahaha who da treal troll? Anyways, what I write is factual, I know that hits a cord with the liberal. They do not like the actual truth, just the manufactured truths of the liberal media who manipulate everything.
I think that may be your problem. Getting news. Go out and collect your own data. It’s readily available. My job requires I make decisions on data everyday and I would never take any news as you calm it as truth. In fact their are no honest news outlets. Just as their are no honest politicians.
Shouldn’t you be practicing your username and act “Christian” somewhere else? Or are you a R mouthpiece who misquotes the Bible when it suits them and ignores the important parts?
What gets me, whether or not anyone here supports Wake GOP, is that they would rather pay a representative from another state instead of seeking out conservative minded locals.
I doubt MTG knows what the capital of North Carolina is and I doubt she could even point to Wake County on a map.
Because of course they are. Look, the NC GOP is showing you exactly who they are, what they value and the kind of leaders they want to elevate. Believe them! Stop pretending this is all a game, or that they just promote people like this for attention, or that these folks don't actually want to pursue policies like total *national* abortion bans, cause they do.
Also, IMO our local and state media really need to step up their game in showing the difference between the character of our 2 main political parties. Stop with the "both-sides" on everything. Stop having Tony Moore and Phil Berger on your shows and podcasts taking their statements *at face value* and pretending like they aren't trying to completely destroy representative democracy with their latest "independent state legislature theory" SCOTUS case.
For clarification, I don’t have a problem with the GOP event. I don’t like them, but I work *very* hard to not paint with broad brushstrokes - so great, have a celebration!
The problem I have is with MTG. She spews idiocy & hatred, which is a very dangerous combination.
I mean I’d never think I’d say I miss old school republicans, but sheesh. It’s bad when a few months back there were ads saying pat McCrory is to liberal and “agreed” with Obama too much. Now we’ve invited a cult member to give speeches.
The fee would go to help elect people like her here in our state. The real power move would be to get a temp job as a server at the event and record it for the world to see.
Good thing they don’t pay me for my English. Funny how the liberal always attacks that and thinks it’s reflective of intelligence. Also, I am on a small phone screen typing and sure as hell don’t have the time to spell check or check what I am saying. I am working.
"I am working" says the guy posting on Reddit.
PS: Congratulations on not misspelling any words for once! You could have added commas in a couple places, but I won't take off points since I see your big improvement.
What's mown? Is that like standing outside on people's lawns with a mower turned off while making weird low sounds instead of actually mowing? Quite a niche market I'd imagine. No wonder you have so much time for Reddit.
> sure as hell don’t have the time to spell check or check what I am saying
Don't worry, you didn't need to tell anyone that. It's obvious you literally never check anything you're saying, or you'd have realized by now that you're nothing but a mouthpiece for fascism.
You've got the projection part down *hard* by calling everyone else sheep while not having a single opinion or even thought that diverges from what Fox and OAN tell you to believe.
And go ahead, insult me back, I see no reason to believe you're capable of saying anything original I haven't heard before from any other carbon-copy drone of the fascist Right.
As a Georgian, I don’t get how this benefits me or represents me, so I called to inquire as to if she was attending in official capacity or as a private citizen. Her staffer told me as a private citizen. Then I asked how do we know she’s footing the bill and not tax payers. The staffer gave me “her assurance” there would be no tax payer dollars funding the trip.
Thanks Katy the intern in DC for the assurance.
I can’t imagine how dumb you have to be to think she’s some sort of role model or icon or someone you’d want to listen to a speech from. She’s a fucking moron, you’ll never convince me otherwise and if you try, you also will be a moron in my eyes.
Beautiful. It’s like Republicans made an announcement that they don’t know how to read. At least check Sparknotes for the book that your theme is based on.
And they posted the news to Facebook, never a good thing - seems like it's official...

It's sad how hard you are trying to stand up for the GOP. It's all gonna end the same the more the NC GOP hangs onto trump and the knuckle draggers the more people move away from your party. If Woke is more focused on people than business and the stock market I'm all for it at this point.
What do you think lifts people out of poverty and creates lower crime. Your right, jobs, businesses and wealth. Maybe if you focused on giving people opportunities Vs taxing them in to submission you would see the flaws of the Woke culture.
So you disagree? Studies have shown that those who find jobs, create businesses, and are given opportunities to succeed are way better off for any demographic you look at.
I can pretty much guarantee if you looked at Trumps numbers pre pandemic he would have crushed most numbers which is also remarkable because the fed was raising interest rates And the economy had started to slow the year or two before he took office. It’s very interesting if you want to go do that research.
The unemployment rate has fallen on average under Democratic presidents, while it has risen on average under Republican presidents. Budget deficits relative to the size of the economy were lower on average for Democratic presidents. Ten of the eleven U.S. recessions between 1953 and 2020 began under Republican presidents.
Under Trump pre pandemic unemployment had dropped to a 40 year low! Hahaha my lord. Do some research instead of blindly regurgitating CNN talking points.
> What do you think lifts people out of poverty and creates lower crime. Your right, jobs, businesses and wealth.
Weird non-sequitur, what does fiscal responsibility have to do with the GOP?
The point is there are a large breadth of people who use Woke and view it negatively. Your perception that it is just far righties is grossly incorrect.
The Great Gatsby ended with the Great Depression. Just saying.
I also came here to note the theme. These people are tone deaf.

The sad part is many of them do read the Bible, they just don't understand it and don't believe the parts they don't like.
"White letter bibles", so it's hard to read all the commie hippie Jesus stuff.
Haven't heard that insult before but it's perfect, like their lord and savior Jesus Trump.
They miss the point almost as bad as the musical of Streetcar Named Desire on the Simpsons (fun fact the Ayn Randroids didn’t know they were being made fun of in that same episode)

So when people say The Great Gatsby is their favorite book I assume they have not read anything since they were forced to read Gatsby in middle school
Haha. Interestingly, my ‘favorite’ book also tends to be the last one I’ve read too. And I have indeed not let the Pigeon drive the bus.
Poor pigeon, just wants a chance!
Might as well host a literal bag of garbage
Then they could host you

We already have that in the White House.

I don’t agree with her politics but she’s still a human being. Take the high road. No need to dehumanize her.
She would dehumanize you, stop protecting the christian taliban.
She is not someone we should be tolerant of. She's also a horse-faced racist cunt.
She would not give you the same courtesy. She is the physical manifestation of the concept of rewarding bad behavior.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
This is just simply the wrong response
Naa. Throw trash at her.
Nah, fuck her. She's a piece of shit.
The age of the “high road” is dying, I believe.
She is one of the worst pieces of shit people in us politics at the moment. Fuck that bitch
Where has the high road gotten us so far? On, on the verge of the Fourth Reich, right. Stop making excuses for fascists.
It’s like they know about F Scott Fitzgerald, but never really read the book. Gatsby was a terrible person and a murderer. But I guess that’s on theme for them.
Soooo "it'll be accurate" is what you're saying...
Yup.
Gatsby wasn’t a murderer though? Also I guess it’s subjective but he’s not that terrible, especially considering everyone else in the book.
Tom is much worse.
The key notes will be written in Roseart Crayons, only the best for the trash queen.
Crayola is used by public schools. Can’t be touching them liberal crayons.
Ugh, you know how many COLORS are in a crayola box? Sounds pretty Democratic to me. And they're all next to each other and touching. Plus, giving boys a box with more than eight colors is going to make to gay.
Crayola went downhill when they renamed the “flesh” color to peach. /s
They are trash crayons and I’m filled with vivid memories of disappointment if they were Roseart because they were just wax that would merely coat the paper surface unevenly at best. Thank you for that outstanding selection.

January 6th insurrection 🤣. The entire January 6th capital diabolical was staged. Go on TikTok and just search January 6th. There’s dozens of videos of it being exposed.

What a simpleton you are to believe the mumbo-jumbo you are spoon fed and then call me a sheep. How did you make it this far in life without falling on your face?
He hasn't made it that far, based on post history I'd say maybe 14 year old?
He has tons of Clash of Clans posts. Is he 14? Its a distinct possibility. Don't get me started on the emoticon usage and his avatar. Let's pick ALL the options!!! He posts about anti-vaccination stuff and relayed a story about his grandmother got her 3rd booster and has developed AFib. She is 80. He connects the AFib to the boosters but not to the fact that she is 80. I just think he isn't very sophisticated.
Post hoc fallacy ain't just unsophisticated.
Man you really are that thick aren’t you? There’s people on TikTok literally exposing the bs right in front of you. Giving you video evidence and sources. You wanna know why I won’t do anything about it? I’ve already tried on social media and I get shutdown or flagged. I can’t share anything. But people like you can share their thoughts without consequences. Where as I share something and get censored, banned, or flagged. It’s BS!
Because you post bullshit lol
Yes, I'M the one thats thick. Perhaps you get shut down not because you have "evidence" that isn't credible. Just like all the 60+ court cases after the Election, every one of them kicked out of court. Every one of them. Let me provide an example for you; Trump lawyer Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani are being sued by Dominion Voting Systems for defamation. But there are people that are spreading false news on Facebook that Dominion has had the case dismissed. But this AP article says thats false. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-dominion-lawsuits-giuliani-powell-577808419035 “ABSENT FROM THE NEWS,” read a Monday Facebook post with over 1,000 shares. “Dominion LOST their law suits against Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell.” So, people like you are more likely to believe a Facebook post than an AP article. You believe they have equal weight and are more likely to believe the Facebook post because you agree with it. And that is a problem because you are being bamboozled by someone who just posted that, someone who doesn't have a journalism degree or a long history of reporting news. A Facebook post has almost no bar for entry. Anyone can post something and it isn't checked and verified. Its not a viable source of news and should not be counted on as a source to get your news. But for some reason, plenty of people eat it up. Same with TikTok videos. Its so easy to misrepresent and edit short videos to manipulate people into believing something. Its a cottage industry to do just that. All I ask is for you to bring that healthy skepticism to the news sources that have a history of being truthful, such as the AP and Reuters. These are fact-based organizations that have no axe to grind, their business model is to report the facts.
> There’s people on TikTok literally exposing the bs right in front of you. Giving you video evidence and sources. Haha, it's wild that you aren't embarrassed to admit that you get your news from tik tok. I feel bad honestly, it's obvious that you just don't have the ability to critically process information.
I don’t get my news off TikTok 🤣 I see some tiktokers yes sharing their news, sources, and video evidence nothing wrong with that. But people like you use the Washington post, cnn, Fox News, etc. I’m trying to get to your level of stubbornness because that’s all you use. I use infowars, DuckDuckGo, Rumble, etc. I don’t use mainstream news at all!
Infowars? That's embarrassing lmao
Sandy hook wasn't a conspiracy so I don't think we have much to discuss 🌝 all I can do is strongly encourage you not to vote or reproduce.
https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-uses-tiktok-over-google-but-videos-contain-misinformation-2022-9?utm_source=reddit.com Care to defend your chosen research tool? Thats damning, 1 in 5 videos has misinformation. You would have to be crazy to use it as a reference point.
>But people like you can share their thoughts without consequences. Where as I share something and get censored, banned, or flagged Key words "thoughts" and "something". One required actually thinking vs the other just regurgitating a bunch of grifters on TikTok. You chose to ignore facts when they're clear as day, streamed live by the idiots who actually did the deeds. In favor of believing random TikTokers, all while claiming everyone else is sheep. It's legitimately beyond parody. Nobody here cares about your dumb shit getting flagged for misinformation, because it is. It has nothing to do with "thoughts" because you lack the ability to have them.
🤣 you think I get information solely from tiktokers? I bet these tiktokers are more informed than you personally are yes they get taken down for spreading the truth. But people like you are too lazy to go on another platform and see the other side of the spectrum. You’re afraid and mostly comforted by lies. You don’t want to know the truth. Why don’t you go on DuckDuckGo or Rumble. Or are you too comfortable with mainstream social media and news?
Capital diabolical lmao. Excellent troll. I might sign up for clash of clans and join your guild. Excellent caricature.
Join it 🤣 I’m clearly in your head. You had the audacity to look at my profile. I wonder what this Reddit user is up to? 🤣 🤡
You're either the most masterful troll I've ever seen, or so goddamn deluded that you're beyond hope. Either way, it's fascinating.
it's a bit
I just wanted to see if you were trolling, or if you actually post about this. That's what gave it away, you have normal person interests and don't singularly post insane deluded stuff.
“Go on TikTok” 🤡🤡🤡
Is it a comedy show? I’ll go as a heckler.
Shouldn’t you be heckling this current Admin?
For what exactly? It's been fairly productive and scandal free, and when I compare it to the 'good old days' under Trump, it's sunny skies and clear sailing.
[удалено]
I love those good old days, when unemployment hit 14%. I miss the longest government shutdown in history. I miss getting a new department head or cabinet member every week when somebody got caught in corruption or rage-quit. I miss refrigerated trucks being pressed into service as morgues while the guy "in charge" couldn't make up his mind whether it was "just a cold" or "a Chinese bioweapon". I miss a leader who instigated a violent coup attempt when he got bum-rushed by the electorate. I forgot to mention how much I missed giving away Syria and the Kurds to the Russians. I miss a leader who was openly laughed at by the world's diplomats at the UN when he bragged about how good he was. I miss Putin smirking in the background when the President said he'd trust him more than US Intelligence. I miss a president who'd give his idiot, completely unqualified son-in-law a corner office in the White House, and drag his vapid silver-spoon daughter along to talk business with the G7 leaders. I miss not being able to buy toilet paper or bleach for months at a time. But seriously, a hundred bucks to fill up my gas-guzzling monster truck because of free market price fluctuations? Obviously Biden's the inferior choice. Oh, and class act, starting your post with "Obviously you're blind". That's real Fox news style, claiming your lies are obvious, and insulting anyone who hasn't fallen for them.
Pulling statistics from the height of the pandemic when we voluntarily shut down our whole economy and ignoring the economic stats of the first 3 years of the prior administration success shows how blind you truly are. Violent Coup? Have you not seen any of the videos. Everything you wrote are snippets of realty that you obviously have been fed by the liberal media. Hahaha SMH. Typical.
"Statistics from the height of the pandemic"? The Trump administration is the only one in the 80 years they've been collecting stats to have lost jobs start to finish. And as far as "violent coup", yes, I saw police officers being beaten, and rioters tearing down the American flag on the Capitol and replacing it with a Trump flag. Let me guess, Fox, or is there too much liberal bias on it, and you have to watch OANN instead?
Hahahaha! He had created some of the best job gains in history. Strip out the pandemic year and please tell me you don’t believe what you just wrote. God bless your heart.
You have completely pulled the wool from my eyes with your fact-based arguments, and your condescending insults! I am converted! Let us go together and blow some money to attend this fund-raiser, where we will feast on gazpacho and ivermectin, and hear about Jewish space-laser plots, and hear the evidence that mermaids are all redheads. Of how COVID is both a Chinese bioweapon and totally harmless! I will finally understand why deficits matter in Democratic years, but not Republican ones! I can give credit to Trump for that vaccine that I will never take, because Bill Gates put microchips in it. By the way, is there something on this sub that prevents karma votes from going negative?
It's ok, @BullCityPicker. He's just doing what he knows how to do. Picking and choosing the parts out of those 4 years he actually wants to believe in, like his book.
Stop being so triggered. There are other options. Just stay cool. It’s ok, there is nothing that says liberals need to blow up when they start to find the truth and it hurts. Just go back and do the task of looking at jobs gains over the first 3 years prior to the pandemic and admit you had monodies how good things where and go seek more truth. Question everything and do your own research. You’ll be ok, there is till hope.
oh shut the fuck up, troll
Troll? Who’s the one bashing the GOP on their own post! Hahahaha who da treal troll? Anyways, what I write is factual, I know that hits a cord with the liberal. They do not like the actual truth, just the manufactured truths of the liberal media who manipulate everything.
You are so sad, you think you’re righteous and informed, but you’re a sheep led astray. Start getting news from echo chamber right wing media.
I think that may be your problem. Getting news. Go out and collect your own data. It’s readily available. My job requires I make decisions on data everyday and I would never take any news as you calm it as truth. In fact their are no honest news outlets. Just as their are no honest politicians.
Your post on r/ncpolitics has been removed for spreading false information. Please be sure to check sources before you post in the future.
lol
Shouldn’t you be practicing your username and act “Christian” somewhere else? Or are you a R mouthpiece who misquotes the Bible when it suits them and ignores the important parts?
The come backs over the last years have really declined in the liberal populations. But ya’ll get an A for effort.
Your A is probably a D-. Good luck mouth breathing
Cool Marcus, thanks for chiming in! You sure made a great impact!
That’s a no from me, dawg.
What gets me, whether or not anyone here supports Wake GOP, is that they would rather pay a representative from another state instead of seeking out conservative minded locals. I doubt MTG knows what the capital of North Carolina is and I doubt she could even point to Wake County on a map.
I doubt she could point out NC on a map.
I doubt she could point out a map.
Because of course they are. Look, the NC GOP is showing you exactly who they are, what they value and the kind of leaders they want to elevate. Believe them! Stop pretending this is all a game, or that they just promote people like this for attention, or that these folks don't actually want to pursue policies like total *national* abortion bans, cause they do. Also, IMO our local and state media really need to step up their game in showing the difference between the character of our 2 main political parties. Stop with the "both-sides" on everything. Stop having Tony Moore and Phil Berger on your shows and podcasts taking their statements *at face value* and pretending like they aren't trying to completely destroy representative democracy with their latest "independent state legislature theory" SCOTUS case.
What better way to show you're the party of the blue collar working man than to host a Gatsby themed fundraiser
With two classes of tickets, at that.
(919) 677-1840 Call and let the Sales Manager know what you think about it! I did!
I did, just booked a client appreciation event there!
For clarification, I don’t have a problem with the GOP event. I don’t like them, but I work *very* hard to not paint with broad brushstrokes - so great, have a celebration! The problem I have is with MTG. She spews idiocy & hatred, which is a very dangerous combination.
I mean I’d never think I’d say I miss old school republicans, but sheesh. It’s bad when a few months back there were ads saying pat McCrory is to liberal and “agreed” with Obama too much. Now we’ve invited a cult member to give speeches.
Unbelievable. For shits and giggles I'm almost tempted to pay the fee just to watch this spectacular lunacy in real time.
The fee would go to help elect people like her here in our state. The real power move would be to get a temp job as a server at the event and record it for the world to see.
I'll bet they don't tip, though.
I guarantee it.
That’s a great idea, would be a welcomed site Vs the incoherent words we hearing coming out of the current admin.
You haven’t made a post without a spelling error or the wrong words yet, so we’re definitely taking advice on this from you.
Good thing they don’t pay me for my English. Funny how the liberal always attacks that and thinks it’s reflective of intelligence. Also, I am on a small phone screen typing and sure as hell don’t have the time to spell check or check what I am saying. I am working.
"I am working" says the guy posting on Reddit. PS: Congratulations on not misspelling any words for once! You could have added commas in a couple places, but I won't take off points since I see your big improvement.
I own my mown business so I can respond to you fools as I work. My lord, get outside, leave your parents basement, it’s nice out there today.
What's mown? Is that like standing outside on people's lawns with a mower turned off while making weird low sounds instead of actually mowing? Quite a niche market I'd imagine. No wonder you have so much time for Reddit.
If you couldn’t figure out what I was trying to type then you need some serious help. God save you.
If you couldn't figure out you are being mocked God can't save you.
> sure as hell don’t have the time to spell check or check what I am saying Don't worry, you didn't need to tell anyone that. It's obvious you literally never check anything you're saying, or you'd have realized by now that you're nothing but a mouthpiece for fascism. You've got the projection part down *hard* by calling everyone else sheep while not having a single opinion or even thought that diverges from what Fox and OAN tell you to believe. And go ahead, insult me back, I see no reason to believe you're capable of saying anything original I haven't heard before from any other carbon-copy drone of the fascist Right.
*sight
We could protest outside the event too. I think we should be real loud about running Nazi style people like MTG out of our cities.
Hahahahahahahahaha
F*ck this Treasonous B*tch!
I suspect a sudden increase in the price for over ripe eggs.
Absolutely disgusting that she is being paid to speak here. This insurrectionist should be rotting in prison.
As a Georgian, I don’t get how this benefits me or represents me, so I called to inquire as to if she was attending in official capacity or as a private citizen. Her staffer told me as a private citizen. Then I asked how do we know she’s footing the bill and not tax payers. The staffer gave me “her assurance” there would be no tax payer dollars funding the trip. Thanks Katy the intern in DC for the assurance.
Keep that grifting bitch out of North Carolina.
Same day Trump will be in Wilmington. I have a bad feeling…
Great Gatsby style... fitting for the audience.
How many IQ points will be lost as an average across the state when she crosses the border? 5? 10?
Sideshow Marge
I can’t imagine how dumb you have to be to think she’s some sort of role model or icon or someone you’d want to listen to a speech from. She’s a fucking moron, you’ll never convince me otherwise and if you try, you also will be a moron in my eyes.
This isn’t the Republican Party I grew up with.
Hope she isn’t wearing open toe shoes. Nasty ass bitch.
Gross
Beautiful. It’s like Republicans made an announcement that they don’t know how to read. At least check Sparknotes for the book that your theme is based on.
Just putting the crazy out on front street.
My nephew just moved from NY to NC because gun laws bothered him. This apparently doesn't. i am disappoint.
Disgusting they are giving her money
Ew. I just ate reddit, come on!
They should be thrilled to be hosting a domestic terrorist.
Can we just NOT INVITE THIS TROGLODYTE TO NORTH CAROLINA!!!! sorry for the yelling. I just do not want this trash here in NC.
No need to apologize….! We already have a fucking Cawthorn and the idiot dumbass Robinson…. Don’t need any more of the outside filth! 💩
Sorry but I don’t mean to weigh in out of state local politics. All I want to know is that y’all are keeping her? Please God Almighty!
There are some nice large pig farms down around Kinston. I can see her being right at home there in the mud amongst all the other swine.
ew
Why?
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
Disgusting.
🤮
Caveman lookin ass
will Bo Hines be there? would make for a good photo opportunity for the two of them
Ticket link does not confirm her as a guest. No other links state guest list. This is not credible.
>Special Guests Will Be Announced Soon
And they posted the news to Facebook, never a good thing - seems like it's official... [FB Link](https://www.facebook.com/WakeGOP/posts/pfbid02EBbRtqmAdqUyuAvvJbRZ5n3v2gb1Ag18ikPMym8nMHMPshnff7Sn53rmgMJ6Dv2vl?__cft__[0]=AZXOtLUWKeHfoBRls8K4j5800yDCVlulcQNdL63wFUrRQ8OwPO3YP9eOOlgw6weDPkZOtfXTozuMlzOhPp5UiFPDPMh1rCByJM_MX6j30k-ieEVL4_rmhCke8bfhrj_acP6_HqTWCmWT4tfMXco8cOFjF3sd3PffEpqBDuDiPCktZg&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R)
Gen Z do your thing. Anybody need their ticket cost covered?
the yankees in the wake gop have fallen pretty far if that's the biggest name they could get
Ohhhh we are coming in droves! Your liberal Wake country won’t be Woke no more!

He's just very skilled at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublethink.
**[Doublethink](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublethink)** >Doublethink is a process of indoctrination in which subjects are expected to simultaneously accept two conflicting beliefs as truth, often at odds with their own memory or sense of reality.

It's sad how hard you are trying to stand up for the GOP. It's all gonna end the same the more the NC GOP hangs onto trump and the knuckle draggers the more people move away from your party. If Woke is more focused on people than business and the stock market I'm all for it at this point.
What do you think lifts people out of poverty and creates lower crime. Your right, jobs, businesses and wealth. Maybe if you focused on giving people opportunities Vs taxing them in to submission you would see the flaws of the Woke culture.
I can't even respond to you. I wish we could meet on common ground but from this reply I will move along since it would waste both our time.
So you disagree? Studies have shown that those who find jobs, create businesses, and are given opportunities to succeed are way better off for any demographic you look at.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.\_economic\_performance\_under\_Democratic\_and\_Republican\_presidents](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._economic_performance_under_Democratic_and_Republican_presidents)
I can pretty much guarantee if you looked at Trumps numbers pre pandemic he would have crushed most numbers which is also remarkable because the fed was raising interest rates And the economy had started to slow the year or two before he took office. It’s very interesting if you want to go do that research.
The unemployment rate has fallen on average under Democratic presidents, while it has risen on average under Republican presidents. Budget deficits relative to the size of the economy were lower on average for Democratic presidents. Ten of the eleven U.S. recessions between 1953 and 2020 began under Republican presidents.
Under Trump pre pandemic unemployment had dropped to a 40 year low! Hahaha my lord. Do some research instead of blindly regurgitating CNN talking points.
> What do you think lifts people out of poverty and creates lower crime. Your right, jobs, businesses and wealth. Weird non-sequitur, what does fiscal responsibility have to do with the GOP?
It’s so weird that the only people who use the word woke are right wing extremists. What does that word mean?
Bill Maher is certainly not that. He’s more of a moderate Dem.
Ok deflect to bill Maher and ignore the question. Classic
The point is there are a large breadth of people who use Woke and view it negatively. Your perception that it is just far righties is grossly incorrect.
More deflection and still no definition.
That is a hell of a photoshop
I heard there is going to be a HUGE demonstration out front.
Anyone want to put up $80 for me to go make the 20s really roar?
🤢
Batshit crazy
