And my adult children don't speak to me.

It's because college made them leftist antifa of course.

Good.

Cruising estranged narcissistic conservative parent Facebook tonight.

I love that they always manage to demonstrate poor reading comprehension so clearly, like the note about private property is clearly in the context of Marxist beliefs not an assumption the world will be Marxist.

Well conservatives are not terribly good readers. That would require education.

Anyone else who was concerned: Sam Elliott’s wife didn’t leave him, and he’s still at least a democrat if not progressive.

(I was wondering if we were referring to the actual actor, a character that he played, or generic old white men who cosplay as if they work strenuous outdoor jobs).

I've usually seen this meme used as the generic old white guy cosplaying as a blue collar worker.

My faithful dog truck died and I buried him with a beer alongside a dirt road that serves as a metaphor for nothing in particular.

Who is this guy and what’s the story?

That's Sam Elliot, makng an appearance in The Big Lebowski. He's a drunk cowboy at a bowling alley bar.

How would he get drunk off sarsaparilla?

TIL - Genuinely never seen it outside of Fallout New Vegas, and I always assumed it was some sort of tequila based beverage.

Wait, is Sam Elliot actually a MAGA chud? That would be sad.

Very much no, but he's been used in conservative memes for some time now.

That's sad to hear. Reminds me of his appearance on Parks and Rec where his character is initially misjudged as a libertarian/conservative due to his cowboy-like demeanor and off-the-grid lifestyle, but turned out to be a left-leaning hippie instead. The basic idea behind that character being that the right does not have a monopoly on a lot of the "values" they claim to uphold.

I don't know, but I honestly think there's an interpretation available here where he's just speaking to his fellow liberals about how his wife left him.
