I remember when my kids were small and I would make them come inside when it would get dark and a fit would be thrown as if I controlled the sun and this was an injustice I was creating. IDK why that popped into my head.

This is kind of what happens when you have a group that is explicitly anti-education. I don't want to come off as elitist, but when there's a vacuum in your brain, it's surprisingly easy for it to get filled with nonsense. Small children believe everything you tell them.

It's scarier than that. I saw some of the comments, and they said he couldn't have chosen the next president, but he could've held off while some states did more to investigate the votes that were supposedly stolen. They make it sound so plausible to each other, and it just makes them even scarier because more people say "Oh that sounds reasonable" when it's completely nuts. The state of Georgia and counties in Wisconsin, Arizona, and Texas already had vote recounts by Jan. 6th. What the hell did they expect to find??

100% ageee. I however, living in Indiana for the past 30 years, would like him to drop dead for completely different reasons.

How many of these people will, in January of 2025, insist that Kamala Harris can't just wave her hands and appoint Biden as President regardless of the votes?

To be clear: She can't and I don't think she would, but according to their Mike Pence theories, she could just do that.

Many Americans have no idea how things work. Think about how many times people talk about how this POTUS or that POTUS increased taxes when it is Congress that enacts taxes.

Severe lack of education. The Republican Party is truly becoming the party of the uneducated.

isn't this happening right now with Judge Cannon? She was a Trump appointee, has already made an outrageous decision relating to Trump, and now she's presiding over his classified documents case, Trumpers are sending her death threats because they think she has the power to toss the case out at this point. It's like they don't even know when they are winning!

I wonder if Russian propaganda isn't also trying to kick it into overdrive. Getting Trump back into the White House would likely give them a HUGE boost if the US were to suddenly stop supplying weapons and aid to the Ukrainians, the Russians are likely desperately holding out hope for a Trump rebound and trying to push the idea that he can take back the White House.

There is a weekly Q/MAGA/Stop The Steal/Unmask our Children/Stop Groomers demonstration on a street corner near me and it's insane. They recently put up a BAN PORN sign. These freaks want to take away my JO material. I thought this was America.

I feel like so many people need mental health holds if they've gone this insane. It's just not normal.

Funny you should mention them.

They don't care, they'll always be useful idiots.

I read the long threat of this. They were debating if a person that was quoting the bible was actually Christian... I shit you not. These folks were accusing a person quoting the bible as wrong and not what it meant. It takes 10 seconds to Google the quote for fuck sakes.

Doesn't that bring to mind a good Christian man!

Because they, like Trump, don’t use the meanings of words to communicate what they’re saying. They use the force behind the words, the feeling.

“Would be a real shame if this guy died” might be literally expressing concern, but all the underlings know what that means.

“You’re too honest” means “you’re TOO honest [for your own good]”.
