    The victim complex is strong with these ones.

    I feel like I know him without ever having met him.

    Guessing he uses “the liberals” as a hand-wavey catch all for anyone and everyone that’s ever done anything he’s ever disagreed with or sees as wrong in the country?

    Also assumes that there’s a “war on” anything he likes, orchestrated by the aforementioned liberals?

    Doesn’t actively take part in local politics but sees himself as some sort of ideological warrior, keeping the faith and “fighting the good fight” day in and day out?

    Hasn’t been in a city with a six figure population in 25 years except (maybe) for concerts and sporting events, yet seems to think he knows, in detail, how horrible they are?

    Thinks driving a manual transmission vehicle is a personality trait?

    Regularly rails against “cancel culture”…but proudly brags about how he hasn’t set foot in a Dick’s sporting goods since they quit selling guns, and hasn’t drank a bud light since that whole fiasco…but that’s not canceling, that’s different?

      Hey, my wife and I both drive a manual. But that’s not our personality, we just kept getting burned by automatics when buying crappy used cars.

      The rest of it does sound very familiar, to this red-state resident. It’s wild how empty some people are, and how desperate they are to fill their heads with something.
