    Kissinger (somewhere): laughs as another conservative dies before him and he sucks their soul out to continue to power himself much to C.C's dismay

      It's the year 2622. In a dark gothic tower, overlooking a wasteland where once a great empire stood, Kissinger, unable to find more souls to feed on, draws his last breath. From his grey, molerat-like corpse come the howling of millions upon millions of bangladeshis, vietnamese, cambodians, laotians, martian homesteaders, antimuskites, neo-australians, phobotians, proxima centaurese, gateskippers, edenists and others whose names and languages have been lost to time.

      I hate to say it, but critical support for Kissinger. If this is the kind of people he eats to keep his body barely functioning I hope he lives for another 100 years and eats them all.

    If he wanted to not get terminal lung cancer, he should have thought of that when he decided to smoke cigars.

    /conservative anti-empathy logic.

    EDIT: Exerpt from Rush's show

    CALLER: If we pay for our health care ourselves, would it bring costs down?

    LIMBAUGH: Yeah, it would, if -- with other -- yeah, if you get some other players out of the game, yeah -- of course.

    CALLER: What do you mean by “other players” ? I'm sorry.

    LIMBAUGH: Government -- get the government out of it. Get the government -- their stupid regulations. Get the government out of Medicare. You -- look it, the only way that cost or price ratios make sense is based on the consumer's ability to pay. There has to be a direct relationship between the customer and the business at the surface.

    CALLER: OK. I just broke my wrist and it's costing me $6,000. I can't afford that.

    LIMBAUGH: Well, you shouldn't have broken your wrist.


    Limbaugh: OK. I just terminally fucked my lungs and it's costing me my life. I can't afford that.

    God: Well, you shouldn't have smoke cigars.

    I cannot stand Rush and have long hated him.

    I had family members who were brainwashed by his radio show decades ago who would listen to him religiously. I think about them any time I see this asshole. Conservative radio was a big deal in the 90s.

    In many ways, Trump is a call back to Rush's bigoted ranting from back in the day on the radio. I think part of why Trump had so much success back in 2016 was cause he probably reminded old chuds of the conservatives they listened to ranting and raving on the radio.

      Trump is the logical conclusion of their last 30 years of propaganda strategy: an unironic, true-believer Fox News Grandpa finally ascended to power.

        100% agree with you and that's the best way to sum it up. Seeing so many of my relatives get brainwashed by Fox News over the years was so depressing. It's even happening now with my own parents who aren't that old.
