Seriously, WHAT is THE DEAL with conservative disinformationists scattering ALL-CAPS WORDS throughout EVERYTHING they WRITE?

My THEORY is that it's MEANT as a SUBSTITUTE for LOGIC and REASON - that in LIEU of saying things that are ACTUALLY logical, reasonable or true, they JUST say things really LOUDLY.

It MUST be TRUE because it's so EMPHATIC, right?

And it PROBABLY triggers a PAVLOVIAN response in the DUNDERHEADS who READ it. "LOOK at all the CAPS! This is MY kind of TRUTHINESS!"

It's just... WEIRD. And sort of PATHETIC.

If you Want to be REALLY TRUMPIAN you need to also Sprinkle in a Bunch of words that are Merely Capitalized rather than Always using ALL CAPS!!!!!!!!1

[–] homesweethomeMrL 23 points 2 months ago

Ow. I think I pulled a reading muscle.

Wouldn't that just make it more German than anything else?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nah, in German they capitalize all nouns, but Trump does it at random.

It's because instead of using logic to reason, they use emotion: usually outrage, fear, uncertainty, anger, distrust. All while of course projecting the 'overly emotional and illogical' stamp onto "bleeding heart liberals".

Caps conveys what their audience pays attention to.

This is actually from a mad-libs book she did

When your chosen communication style is "begging letters from a faith healer"

It's a form of poetry that appeals to skimmers who want the tone and feeling with the fewest possible nouns to remember.

I read this in Seinfeld's voice

New typing quirk just dropped

[–] dynamojoe 115 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I absolutely support her going to jail for Trump.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Agreed. And I also support Trump going to jail for Trump

[–] ValorieAF 20 points 2 months ago

Put em both in jail. Please.

I'm saving this when she inevitably cuts a deal to throw Trump under the bus for leniency

Dear Laura,

Fame and fortune awaits!

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She only lasted two hours at Xitter.

[–] Iheartcheese 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Why did she lock herself up there?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think she got banned from them, back when they were a normal social media platform. And she locked herself to one door, so everyone going in used the other door and didn't care. Someone else posted a link about it.

[–] Iheartcheese 16 points 2 months ago

she did it over getting banned? Hilarious

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Fuck knows what the crazy person thinks.

Ahem:

Thank you for your time.

This girl must really love pegging Donnie on the daily

[–] slickgoat 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I must say that I am willing for him to go to jail with Trump.

[–] bitchkat 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)
[–] slickgoat 11 points 2 months ago

Of course. Apologies

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Don't talk about jigsaw like that

[–] 800XL 18 points 2 months ago

Sombwody's in wuuuuuvvvv.

She won't go to jail for him though. This is just a preliminary call for all the fascists to get ready to incite violence if he loses the election.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Threatening us with a good time, I see.

[–] sartalon 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Two crazies locked up with one sentencing?

Ok then.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

This sounds like a real win-win. Looks like the swamp is trying to drain itself

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

They can grow old in prison together. Just remember to not let her out once Trump is gone.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I wonder where they'll find handcuff keys at Riker's Island.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Find someone that looks at you the way this lunatic looks at Trump.

[–] Noodle07 1 points 2 months ago

She crzay af, make me jealous :(

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Not enough exclamation marks. I can't take it seriously.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Huh, guess I'll go to jail then

[–] BeatTakeshi 2 points 2 months ago

He'll feel like home because he grew up 3 miles away
