I never seen to be able to get them on board. It's not like I do it often, but the few times I've tried recently they just don't get it

    Also throw in some Smedley Butler in there, teach them how war is a racket and how at least one highly decorated marine had all this shit sussed out decades before Eisenhower spoke about the MIC.

      I dunno, he had some wacky conspiracy theories like the real reason America entered WWI was to ensure that France would pay back its bank loans it had taken out during the war. Not gonna fly with libs, it's more Alex Jones material.

        Well for this lib, it's been the first I've heard of this theory. How many libs are going to dig this deep on Smedley Butler, or care so long as it doesn't point to the illuminati/elders of zion?

          I'm just saying the man was into weird conspiracy theories. He did this thing where supposedly the (((bankers))) tried to overthrow America in a fascist plot and he was the lone American hero who exposed it all. The more you look into him the more off he gets.
