“That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.”
Nothing tells me someone has a very specific bone to pick more than jumping to blaming the Republicans on Christianity. It's putting the cart before the horse, and taking too much of what they say at face value. Remembering, of course, they're all pathological liars.
It's kind of depressing to know even some people on the left haven't figured out yet who these fuckers actually are. Religion is not at their core, nor is conservativism, not even nationalism. Those are all just addons.
It's pure, uncut selfishness, greed, and hate. All other belief systems are erected on top of that as needed, and often interchangeably.
What it must be like to be a cult leader in broad daylight. All these other cults have to keep shit under wraps. These guys just flaunt their immorality.
What they all believe is so inconsistent across the spectrum of conservatives anyway - it was Antifa! It was the deep state! It was mostly peaceful tourists!
Not sure about the country as a whole, but at least in my experience the republicans I know would never have said they thought he tried to begin with. Usually they see the capital riots as something beyond what Trump was expecting, as untrue as that has come been shown to be.
My father still thinks the insurrection was just a handful of people waving flags outside the Capitol. They never got the story because they are hooked on Fox news
I think jailing the Orange Menace will snap a lot of them out of it. A few will probably be ballsy enough to take some kind of action, but they'll be the minority and look like thugs. It just sucks that people are probably going to get hurt over this. I say just let the justice system do its thing.
Let's hope so. Some are threatening civil war if he's convicted and sent to prison, but then again, we're also talking about Snack Team 6. So I don't assume there's any bite behind that bark. I just know that after January 6th, they're absolutely going to try again.
Meal Team [January] 6, you mean? But going by how the insurrection went, I see an attempt at repeating something like that going over like a lead balloon. On the other hand, I can absolutely see a significant spike in domestic terror happening
This reality is absurd enough that there's a very real possibility he starts claiming the sun isn't real and we'll have actual arguments about whether the sun exists or whether it's Space Jew Democrats that are trying to confuse us...
You're going to have to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one, it's not like most of them had a front row seat to an insurrection or something.
