Not really...
This isn't something Billy Bob decided on his own.
He's being told not to fly because the conservative talking heads don't want him to leave his flyover state and see what the rest of the country is like
They want him isolated and scared, because those people keep voting Republican without questioning what they're told.
If he visited a "blue state" or any average sized city, he might realize he's being lied to about what they're like.
They want them stuck in their red state where they'll keep their two senators and House reps
This is why they hate college. Isolated students who were sheltered by their conservative parents are forced to mix with people who are different from them… and the students realize the differences that they were taught to be afraid of don’t really matter. They start to think for themselves.
Independent thought is what scares conservatives the most.
It's hard now, though, because they're saying the military is too "woke" now, too! But without a steady influx of Good Ol' Boys how do we continue to justify our defense budget?
You can't be pro military and anti-woke, a lot of the aforementioned Good Ol' Boys have the same experience as the ones who go to college: they're exposed to minorities and realize the lies aren't true. How do you keep bodies going in while telling them not to go in because it's too "woke"?
I can’t even pretend to try to shed a fake tear.
This is also why they hate Tiktok. Too easy to see what everyone else in the normal world is doing.
Yep, it's easy to be mad at them because they're hateful people
But we'll never out hate conservatives. If we try we're doing exactly what the people telling them what to think want.
It's like with prisoners, we focus on punishment rather than rehabilitation. And it works out horribly.
If we actually want to fix America (and it sure as shit looks like we're running out of time) we need to focus on what works best, not what feels best.
Like that Black dude who's gotten over 100 KKK members to renounce their racist ways. He doesn't yell at them, he talks to them and wears them down.
It's not easy, and it's more than they deserve, but it works.
And if something works, than that's what we should be doing.
The first step is getting them out of their bubble.
eh, there's pretty of reasons to hate TikTok.
False. Reds have already decided what the experience is like before visiting large cities and as we all know there is no changing how they feel because it isnt based on logic.
I hear all the time about them needing to carry guns go visit the nearby city because it's so dangerous.
