This is one of those situations where "ok boomer" is an acceptable response.

Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Buzz-word salad. His constituents are like, "That's right! Got 'em!"
"Boy I bet those leftist, communist, socialist, liberals are triggered."
"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?
"Sir, this is a dictionary."
uh if you're a millennial you have ALWAYS lived under the nuclear threat dude
all nuclear weapons were famously disarmed and destroyed once the Cold War ended right?
...right? 
Only in Ukraine.
The threat of nuclear war has never gone away
Kids do active shooter drills today
Children crave the bomb not the bullet.
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.
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.
somebody admit this man to a mental hospital
Stupid fucker would drive the hospital staff crazy
It means Rep. Clay Higgins took money from Putin's lackeys.
Millennials were born after nukes were invented and while the cold war ended (supposedly), nukes weren't exactly removed from existence.
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 
I thought the post was funny
I love how they assume that we're all a bunch of young kids, I'm in my 40's and I remember doing nuke drills in elementary school and getting shown where the fallout shelters were, my stepdad is just as Left as I am and is twenty years older and his schools also had fallout shelters and nuke drills.
I'd say they need to stop generalizing people, but if they understood nuance and context they probably wouldn't be republicans, however there are plenty of Republicans that do know the differences but just aren't arguing in good faith, now I'm definitely also generalizing them as well by saying that. The people who aren't aware of their generalizations need to realize that old people can be lefties, and young people can be righties, there is no age limit for becoming a fascist asshole and there's no age limit for realizing that capitalism only benefits the wealthy.
Or how about the last few years? Iran threatening nukes, North Korea with ballistic missile threats, Russia threatening to nuke everyone every other day, china building relations with Cuba, drills happening off of Alaska.
I mean, do we face these threats today, no? No idea what that tweet is saying.
Please tell me someone actually tweeted it
Hahha what a BS dictonary is
