      Andrew Tate is a role model for millions of boys and young men.

      Okay, maybe they don’t have the context needed to understand that he’s just a rapist who is desperately trying to pretend his father’s abuse was love in disguise.

      But the man claimed he was the world’s first trillionaire. That’s the kind of lie a literal toddler would tell, yet grown men believed it.

      Are they the majority? No, probably not.

      But I can’t remember another group of people so deliberately, unapologetically stupid as modern reactionaries, nor a time where they’ve wielded so much power.

          No, hard stop. Not even fucking close.

          Articulate the group of people you’re talking about then so we can actually discuss them, rather than you just insisting they’re everything you pinkie promise they were.

          Because you’re awful confident about who they are, what their numbers are, what they believed and how much power they weilded without actually articulating who “they” are in any meaningful way.

              Okay, so you don’t actually know who you’re talking about, but you’re certain you’re correct.

              I was giving you the benefit of the doubt in case it was a miscommunication and we were talking about entirely different groups of people.

              But nope, you’re just saying any old bullshit with absolute conviction because you want to look like the smartest person in the room.

              Reading back, it’s actually pretty obvious that you didn’t experience Reagan nor the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. You’re just extrapolating your 5 years of adulthood backwards 50 years and assuming you’ve nailed it.

                  Do you not remember the Christian groups of the… 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s? They always have, you just weren’t informed via the internet about it.

                  Oh yeah, you’re clearly talking about Andrew Tate followers and have been this whole time. Good lie you fucking clown. The internet has clearly made you smarter.
