I went to that city council meeting and I noticed something interesting. When people had the opportunity to speak their minds to the council, the people that said "no" were the white and Hispanic people, but the people that said "yes" were old Vietnamese people who either spoke broken English or no English at all (there were no young Vietnamese people that spoke on this issue).

It then hit me, none of the people that liked Charlie Kirk could actually understand him. Charlie Kirk only spoke English, these people mostly only understand Vietnamese. These were people that secluded themselves in their bubbles of only Vietnamese speaking people and Vietnamese American media. I don't watch/listen to Vietnamese American media, but I can totally imagine it being a right-wing bubble, like a Vietnamese version of Fox News. These elderly Vietnamese people are being brainwashed into voting for the same people actively working to undermine them.

If these people could actually understand the words that came out of Kirk's mouth, and get exposed to more than just cherry-picked translations and a white-washed revision of his history, then they would utterly despise him the way us English-speaking people do.

You are exactly right about the brainwashing machine. What’s fascinating is how local Vietnamese newspapers are actually fairly factual, but Facebook posts and Youtube political commentators are absolutely off the rails. These online grifters could say absolutely anything and old people are going to believe it because they’re none the wiser. It looks exactly like 1984.

iPad seniors are a genuine problem that’s arguably more dangerous than iPad kids.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, half the damn people who mourned Charlie Kirk didn’t watch or listen to any of his debates beyond a handful of edited clips on social media

And this certainly applies to these old Vietnamese people who wanted this to pass
