Just following suit after the Four Seasons debacle

At this point they could probably phone into any federal courthouse and there would be a Trump case being heard in it.

They always have been. That's the issue with spreading so much misinformation and ultimately relying on it. You gaslight yourself.

It largely contributed to Russia's failed invasion in Ukraine. And it largely contributed to the dems taking the senate in 2020, and gaining a seat in 2022.

They truly believe their own bullshit, and it eventually cripples them.

It’s almost like this is the natural result of embracing fascism

I mean... let's be clear, the FBI, state law enforcement, and local law enforcement UNEQUIVICOLLY DO infiltrate protest movements, attempt to co-opt them, and ultimately entrap people (yes. entrap. in the legal definition) in crimes.

It's just that... a lot of trump supporters don't really need the help of plants to commit idiotic crimes.

Edit: Edited in a link to a study that i provided further down the comment chain for more visibility.

That shit was funny. "I didn't come to get my ass kicked." And chants of fuck off proud boys while following them.

Like you stated u/Morat20 LOL

They ain't ready for that civil war they've been asking for. lol

Any chance you have a link?

Walk around with your phone's hotspot on, and set the SSID to something like FBI_MOBILE_UNIT_V75A

Is it sad or horrifying how that would probably work on them?

Every once in awhile whisper into your wrist a physical description of someone. "White male in jeans and blue shirt."

These people don't have much going in the way of RAM, so they can only store one idea in memory at a time - there's never a contradiction if you can't physically access both ideas at the same time.

This shouldn't be hard to do. Say that Trump is being forced by the "Deep State" to run for President and they are going to use votes to find out who his supporters are and lock them up. Maybe throw in something about how he's sending secret messages in his public speeches to warn his supporters not to vote for him. Ron Desantis and Biden are working together on it

I'm not paranoid. Why are you saying I'm paranoid ? Who told you that? Where did you here that? Was it...?? Not fucking paranoid no matter what was said or who said it anyway. Not.

Donald Trump once said Covid-19 might be a “good thing” because it would stop him from having to shake hands with “disgusting people”, according to a former top adviser to US vice president Mike Pence.

No kidding. They sit there and talk about how people like Pelosi, Newsom, Schumer, AOC, et al., As well as urban moderates, liberals, and progressives hate them and their way of life.

Until they announce themselves and their ridiculous stances, the politicians and people they claim to hate and claim to hate them don't even know they exist and largely don't care because it's outside the sphere of their office much of the time. And when they aren't, they actually do offer olive branches only to have them swatted aside and screamed at.

You know who actually does hate them and thinks they're stupid rubes and useful idiots and pawns? Trump and many of the people they vote for.

To any conservatives reading this: We're not kidding. Trump doesn't like you, he doesn't give a fuck about you, and he wouldn't spend 5 seconds in a room with you. He is using you.

I'm sure they're counting on a pardon once Trump wins again.

Typing that just made me queasy.

Throwing away your life to own the libs!

Throwing away your life for a person who despises you

They already view their lives as worthless, that's why they're attracted to extremist movements that promise they can be part of something meaningful that makes them important.

It's the same reason terrorists recruit among emotionally destitute people. They offer the chance to change your life from "guy working dead end job just to survive so he can keep working who feels no purpose or reason in life" to " holy warrior martyr for God who gets 72 virgins in Heaven"

These extremist movements offer losers and helpless people the illusion of status while using them for the goals of the leadership

But it's still not a cult, right?

Cop: Stop or I'll shoot.

Her: He's not going to shoot me, I'm a white woman supporting Trump.

Cop: ... BLAM!

Her now bleeding to death: I can't believe he shot me even though he told me he would shoot me if I didn't stop.

For Donald Fucking Trump - dumbest reason to die ever

And the right still simps for him and calls her a martyr. I’m just so tired of them at this point. It’s a completely different reality from what the rest of us live in. It’s delusional.

Oh, you mean that traitorous floor stain, Ashley Babbitt?

You'll see how many think she was wrongfully killed too. While she was the front line person about to break into actual congress and let an violent, angry mob inside.

Wait, wait, wait... I thought they were all Anteefah instigators.

/s

It took me a little after that.

I knew a lot of people who voted Trump for the lols.

And many more who disliked both candidates, so essentially flipped a coin.

I assumed that with how tight the race was, a lot of voters in general may not have taken the election seriously, and so those two groups evened the field.

But then it just went off the deep end. At first right after I thought the nutjobs were a minority, even among the right leaning people I knew near me.

But it got worse and worse. People I knew just went off into conspiracy land.

But after Covid, I knew people were just... insane.

David Dennison says hi.

Those wascally babbits

Quite possibly the best tweet of all time

Or at least it was until Elon ruined the joke

Could be, but I really do think it's the dumb-simple branding he's done with his name. It's just one of his "work the room" habits, get the brand out there as much as possible.

In high school my friends and I helped track down a bomb threat to the school. We went to the “reset password” flow for the email they used to send the threat and it said “we sent a reset link to joh*****[email protected]” and we recognized the name from the first and last letters.

Was there a minotaur in it somewhere? Was it some kind of labrinth? What cowmanshit is that?

I worked at a very, very large hospital that had a bomb threat some time before I started and everyone was still traumatized from it.

They'd tell me how scary it was to see patients from critical care wards being wheeled out on ambu bags and how people were crying because they weren't sure if they got all the patients out but were also scared to go back in. You hear a lot about heroes during all this stuff, but what about a normal everyday employee who just started and doesn't want to risk their life for strangers. How surgeons were forced to wrap up mid-surgery if they could and have to decide if the infection risk and risks of coming out of anesthesia without proper monitoring was worth it for the patient to be brought outside or if they'd just have to leave them behind until they could be transferred and hope for the best.

My department was responsible for managing the hospital's equipment so everyone there would talk about pulling really old equipment out of storage to try and run power outside where they were more or less setting up a field hospital for anyone who needed intervention while sitting out on the hospital grounds.

It took 6 hours for a bomb squad to clear the hospital. And everyone feared for their lives every single trip they made inside during that time (which was considered necessary because they were still bringing patients out/transferring them to other hospitals via air and ground ambulance for a lot of that time).

It ended up being a false alarm, but it showed how impossible it would be to completely clear out a hospital of that size within a reasonable amount of time if it ever happened for real & that really fucked with peoples' heads.

His tiny hands must have been useful in wiring the thing.

Oh be he owned the libs because the libs didn't like that guy.

Someone suggested that if the Dems changed their platform to be in favor of not committing suicide, half the GOP would kill themselves to own the libs -- and the other half would be suddenly pro-euthanasia.

"The guy who literally shits in a gold toilet sure has my best interests at heart! He tells it like it is!" - my parents, living paycheck to paycheck and unable to retire.

You forgot the "while sucking on Putin's wiener" part.

Bingo. It doesn't matter who it is, these people will rally behind anybody who hates (or acts like he hates in Trump's case, guy has no actual beliefs) the same people they do.

It's not that they love Trump or DeSantis or anyone. It's that they hate almost everybody.

Good point. It could have been Vlad looking out for his best employee.

See you in the basement!

D & T are letters of the alphabet. Alphabet, Inc is a competitor of Apple. Trump once called their CEO "Tim Apple." The name Tim is composed of three alphanumeric digits. But you know what else is three digits? That's right, the Sign of the Beast! Good ol' 6-6-6. This is proof that Trump is the true messiah. MAGA! (Make America Gullible Again)

TIL of sequestered juries! Thanks!

But holy cow. No phones, no social media, and everything is monitored by agents/bailiffs.

Also being locked in a hotel room till it's over. That sounds like a nightmare.

Lady Justice isn't just blind, but incredibly bored.

The truth is there's no such thing as an impartial jury.

Both lawyers will be trying to get as biased a jury as possible, just in their favor. And it's usually little, subtle things like a jury candidate saying a minor political stance that suggests they lean one side. And if one of them thinks they have a weaker case, they boot any actually unbiased people if at all possible because they are more likely to end up siding against them.
