Surging protest is a sign of hope and change.
For the second straight week, chants of “Fuck Joe Biden!” have broken out at college football games across the country. North of the border in Ontario, protesters chant “Fuck Trudeau!” who called for an election for September 20. As this signifies, youth rebellion is back, and willing to deploy the full English language in a just cause.
Back in the 1960s, when the government was conscripting young Americans to fight in Vietnam, Americans would chant: “One-two-three-four, we don’t want your fucking war!” as they burned their draft cards. Protesters would also show up en masse chanting, “Hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?” and “hell no, we won’t go!” Given the shameful way the government failed to back up the troops, you can’t blame them.
For reference, check out the more than 58,000 names on the Vietnam war memorial. And as the vets who survived like to say: “Vietnam, if you weren’t there, shut the fuck up!” Those guys are particularly resentful of politicians who claim they served in Vietnam but didn’t. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) is one of those and it amazes me that some vet hasn’t thrown down with him in public.
Joetato claimed he’d be a unifying person. From the looks, sounds and rapid spread of the FJB movement he might have stumbled (tripped, gone horizontal) on something we can all agree on. FJB!
