    “I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.” - John Adams, the 2nd President of the United States

    Sounds like Clay Higgins doesn’t believe in making the world better for his children.

      Does Clay Higgings believe in improving the world for anyone who isn’t a rich, straight, white, able bodied, “Christian”, republican man?

    Millennials were born after nukes were invented and while the cold war ended (supposedly), nukes weren’t exactly removed from existence.

    I feel like he asked an intern to come up with a tweet, who then just made a chat bot vomit out some word salad and they posted it without reading it or anything.

    I’m a millennial and we had bomb drills in my school growing up, so this guy is not only an idiot, but he’s completely full of shit.

    Putin constantly threatening the use of nuclear weaponry in Ukraine and he’s saying millenials never lived under nuclear threat. We’re all living it right now!

    Any other millennials here vividly remember the nuclear duck-and-cover drills? Because I do. This boomer clown is so out of touch that he doesn’t realize that millennials are in their 40s and grew up during the end of the cold war.

      Yup. I remember that there was definitely the fear of the USSR losing control of nukes during it’s dissolution in the early 90s.

    im pretty sure living in a nato country next to russia with them giving actual nuclear threats like every other week could be considered living under nuclear threat

    Have we not got to the point where we all agree this kind of owning of the right is a pointless distraction that redirects energy away from countering power?

      This is a humorous community based on savage comebacks. While you’re welcome to discuss any topic in the comments, the majority of us are here for a chuckle, not political discourse. Plus we’re not all American. In the UK our “right wing” government is arguably* closer to your democrats than republicans.

      *not my argument. And I’m not interested in arguing about any topic, particularly politics.

        Just so you know, republicans and democrats and tories are all far more similar to each other than they are to the political views of even a moderate hexbear user.

        We’ve got widely varied opinions on the best ways to dunk on people though. We tend to just bring them all and see what happens sicko-crowd

        I thought the post was funny
