Yeah, thatās the weirdest. For me itās one more dumb thing to throw on a pile of dumb things. I donāt have to change my worldview in the slightest whether itās true or not. For people who like Trump itās another bit a mental gymnastics to put in itās own compartment (completely separate from the compartment where Trump won because Trump is the greatest of all time and no one could ever beat Trump). It seems like a lot of work.
Wonāt somebody think of the breadsticks!
No. I donāt think most actually think that. I think they feel the wording helps play/appeal to the right wing religious of the party.
Itās about rhetoric not actual belief/ideology.
This is not The Onion.
I think this is why I never really got into conspiracies. Theyāre interesting, but not in a hyperfocus way to my ADHD brain. Therefore, itās too much work to keep up. Reality is exhausting enough without having to try to come up with and keep track of even more convoluted explanations and alternative āevidenceā.
Trump said a recently deceased member of congress might be in hell at a rally. Apparently this is not a big deal.
Having once been āa true believer,ā I seriously doubt that many of the ones who are actually sane genuinely believe that; for many, I think thatās just an excuse to āspeed upā armageddon, because theyāre tired of waiting in vain.
Not after he said his bragging about sexually assaulting women (āgrabbing them by the pussies,ā no less) was just ālocker roomā talk.
āI was just kidding,ā āPeople are misinterpreting what I meant,ā etc. are a standard alt-right tactic. Trumpās got it down pat, to the point where itās basically a reflex.
Nice Happy Holidays gift for the rest of us!
John Dingell was my Congressman, and ten times (minimum) the human.
45 is a ginormous POS.
I enjoy them the same way some enjoy a good sci fi / ARG.
Great fun if you suspend disbelief a little bit like you would any other fiction.
Best reply on that whole thread:
Far Left??
Itās just so fucking awful. And the whole context is just fucked up. The comment was made in the context of talking about John Dingellās wifeās response to Dingellās funeral. Normally if someone made a comment like that Iād want to say, āYou know they have surviving family members who are still mourning them, right? Thatās just shitty.ā But the comment was made in the same breath as invoking how well Trump treated surviving family members.
And I know itās Trump, but Iām not normalizing this shit.
Commie Christians! (His followers will totally lap this up. Watch for subscriptions to drop significantly along with references to "backing socialism, like, you know, ālove your neighborā and leftist ideas like that.)
Ah yes, the T.I. defence

Debbie Dingell is my Congressperson. I feel like my whole community has been insulted.
