“The problem is, if you look at their next playbook, and the next card in their playbook, their next move, it will be false flag terror attacks blamed on Trump supporters angry about the verdict,” Jones said

You heard it hear first, Trump supporters. If you become violent and perform terrorist acts in response to Trump's 34 felony convictions, you're a liberal playing out the liberal playbook. What you should really do is defy those liberals and stay home peacefully. Imagine the liberal tears with zero terrorist acts! Just stay home.

This is exactly what antifa has planned! It worked on Jan 6th so why not do it again! Don't take the bait!

It worked on Jan 6th so why not do it again! Don’t take the bait!

Trump supporters must be so happy that all those Antifa "false flag" insurrectionists are locked up in prison right now, right?

I would be appalled. Tears streaming down in rivers off my cheeks if nothing happens. To shreds!

[–] billiam0202 7 points 3 weeks ago

Which is what he says after every right-wing terrorist act. It's almost as if the logical result of his and the other right-wing media's terrorist edging is violence...

The deep state are all looking at each other and saying, "WTF, it had nothing to do with drag queens. We just didn't want this idiot destroying our investments".

Wait until she hears about the Jewish gay lasers.

She would definitely retweet a random internet post about that unironically.

"Deep State" must be the most watched porn title by republicans.

[–] Diplomjodler3 11 points 3 weeks ago

They're constantly in a deep state of denial.

Most Trans people I know don't give a fuck about politics, and just want live their life with those they love. Can we please stop bringing them into the political sphere as some wacked out agenda trying to overthrow the government?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, because conservatives need an enemy they can all hate. And it needs to be an enemy who is at the same time vastly powerful and hiding everywhere, but also weak and easily defeated. And now that they lost the fight on gay marriage, they need an even more marginalized group.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I feel like of all the ubiquitous, ultra powerful groups in the world, trans folks are like, close to the bottom of the list due to them being vastly outnumbered and not at all militaristic. I think puppies would be a better bogeyman.

Kristi Noem has entered the chat.....

[–] cynar 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ah, but ARE they a tiny minority? They could be anyone, ANYONE, and you would never know, until it was too late!

[–] shalafi 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Anyone else notice how much less attention MTG and Boebert are getting? Their playbook seems played out.

[–] CharlesDarwin 3 points 3 weeks ago

TBH, they are probably aging out. The RWNJs will go crazy for someone even younger and willing to spout all the things that tickle them in their naughty bits - basically spouting the kind of things their father/grandfather/great grandfather might have said during Klan rallies or Bircher meetings.

You'll notice that you hear even less from Failin' Palin and Michele Bachmann, but they are even older.

This is the wildest heading I have seen today.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Shit. She's slowly unravelling how I got my Jew-laser into space. This lady is a goddamn genius and needs to be stopped!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

She WISHES she was in any way associated with drag queens.

" John Brandon is a DEI WOKE CRT!!!!!!!!!!"

[–] CharlesDarwin 2 points 3 weeks ago

It's too bad Marge could not be relegated, like the days of yore, to some nut carrying a sign and some literature on a corner somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Deep State ? Hah!, they don't even know that below the Deep State, far beyond anybody's reach, lies the Abyss State. Now those are the real string-pullers, working in the shadows, puppeting even the Deep State agents. And have I told you about the Earth's Mantle State...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nobody appreciated your joke, but just know i blew some air out of my nose.

You may now ascend into super-heaven

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

That means a lot, thanks. I put some effort into it. Here's to hoping the Earth's Iron Core State takes notice

[–] CharlesDarwin 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Also, obligatory video for any reference to the actor Alex Jones...

I wonder if this guy believes even 5% of the nonsense he spews?

[–] mPony 2 points 3 weeks ago

Him? I have my doubts. Her? Quite possibly.

You have to check this one out, you'll love it: https://inv.tux.pizza/watch?v=KGAAhzreGWw

I'm all for anything that helps persecuted-by-the-Right drag-queens. Will it help them if I call her an asshole?

[–] elfin8er 1 points 3 weeks ago

And then Jesus showed up and everyone clapped.
