On the bright side, at least their not being called crazy extremists as much as gen x was for pointing this out...
It's insane we lived through Al Gore and all the boomers from both parties saying he was crazy.
We could have avoided 20 years of war, and started fighting climate change before shit got close to this bad.
Yup. I wasn't old enough to vote, but I remember him being mocked for it. There's even a South Park episode about him.
I still think Jr. stole the 2000 election. There's just too many coincidences. He just happened to win a tight recount in the state controlled by his brother? Yea, sure... ๐
Not to mention the Brooks Brothers riot that has paralles to the current wave of people trying to stop vote counts when they start losing.
The 'what-if's?' are endless.
South Park tried to backcycle on it by having an episode where manbearpig is real, albeit many years later, but the damage was already done. Fuck south Park for using their massive platform to propegate dangerous misinformation
Admittedly, to South Park's credit, there's a 2 or 3 parter that is in part about how wrong they were.
But yeah, a history where Gore wins is so tantalizing. Hell, maybe we have a carbon tax!
Sure, but that was more than a decade later. People had time to grow up from pre-teens to voting adults during that time.
Why should I do anything about manbearpig if China isn't doing anything about manbearpig?
That was the peak line from the episode. They just nailed that conservabro character.
