I can’t believe that anyone is gullible enough to believe this rubbish. Are half of all Americans that ignorant and gullible?? Does anybody really believe that they are aborting babies ‘after’ they are born?? Do they really think immigrants are eating cats and dogs?? Do they think that Trump rallies are the biggest (despite the photographic evidence?? Are they really so caught up in the Trump cult that they swallow any lie??
This man Trump is a complete NUTCASE!! This is gibberish!!
He’s making the USA a laughing stock!!
Yes.
My entire life, conservatives have been trying to force the definition of “late term abortion” to mean post-birth abortion, when in reality, they are trying to rally people into agreeing with them so they can pass a ban where they literally define it as any point past pre-conception (that’s not possible, but they also aren’t great with the whole science and medicine thing).
People have always believed the worst in groups they’re willing to “other.” Look at Europe pre 1945. They truly believed Jewish people would use the blood of gentile babies to make their sabbath breads. You know — the entire world Jewry does this every single Friday — but no babies are reported missing or harmed, but it’s obviously happening. Same with the dogs and cat nonsense. Chinese food has been accused of having dog and cat in it since before the dawn of creation.
They believe his lies because they WANT TO believe them. They get something out of them.
Watch something with Jordan Klepper interviewing people at MAGA rallies. Then watch another with him. You’ll laugh while your soul cries. Yeah; they really are that dumb.
Hi Marla – yes it is bogglingly unbelievable. If it wasn’t so tragic in terms of the huge effect it has on peoples’ lives it would be hilarious. That level of stupidity and gullibility is almost beyond imagination.
I actually never found it funny precisely because I know how gullible (and cruel) people can be when there’s fear and frustration mixed together in their minds and hearts. Other people did find it hilarious though, and because they thought it was funny, they voted for him the first time AND the second time. I don’t really think they find it so hilarious now. At least, they aren’t talking about it anymore.
While on one level the outrageous conspiracy theories and outpouring from the likes of Taylor Greene and Trump are hilarious in their ridiculousness and sheer ignorance and stupidity the fact that so many people are buying into them is alarming. I find it hard to believe that many people are that uneducated. It has turned into a Nazi take-over. There are very sinister people planning in the background.
Very true, generally. The thing most people forget is that truly, people followed Hitler, not because they agreed with his more insane views, but because they were tired of living in a post WWI world where they couldn’t get ahead. They were financially struggling, they were burned out, and here was a guy with personality and charisma who said outlandish things, but promised a better world. A return to “the golden age” of sort.
They followed because the worst things he said weren’t possible, only the good things. They could “control” the Nazis and the bad stuff because people would never go for it. Except they did. It spread like a hateful virus until it consumed almost everything, and 13 years later, nothing was recognizable.
It’s impossible to control that level of dissatisfaction. You can play to it, sure; but it’s a cannibalistic beast that’s never sated.
The horrible truth is, that same darkness was woken up, here AND across the world. Logic, reason, humanity are consumed and ravaged
The ONLY saving grace was that this particular hydra became increasingly obsessed with crowd sizes and the people started finding their way back to sanity in the interim. People who were swept up had the opportunity to back away, and you could see the beast clearly since all that was left were the crazies.
And they have flipped and switched and turned on each other so often it’s terrifying.
The difference between maga and the Nazis is that the Nazis always tried to make progress for Germany, building roads, schools, enacting family vacations, building affordable vehicles. It didn’t always work, but Germany first was the actual plot and it really was never lost (except when the war turned toward the end). Maga’s vision had become very clearly NOT America first, and the people who thought it was entertaining or thought “well, it can’t hurt” realized it’s not entertaining and yes it really can hurt everyone. What is left are the people who drank the koolaid by the gallon and they can’t see truth or reality because the worst in them has been triggered blinding them. It’s EASIER for them to say women deserve it, immigrants are straight from prisons and asylums, that dogs and cats are being harmed, the dems can control weather, and fill themselves with anger and hatred than it is for them to admit that they were swept up in the one thing they probably always told themselves they were too smart, to rational, too KIND enough to fall for: hate on that level.
And we all know people truly detest admitting they were wrong.
It’s an hysterical cult! It’s built on madness and lies around the narcissistic ramblings of a megalomaniac!
Yes.
The question is ‘how do we get out of this madness?’
First we have to get rid of the megalomaniac butt head. Then we have to spend the next 15 years shoveling the s*t he left behind out. After that, sky is the limit, I’d say.
Good idea!!
😂
So where have you been all this time Marla??
Around. Just getting by, day by day. That’s really it. Nothing particularly interesting, honestly. How have you been?
Writing, writing, writing and dealing with family shit, death of friends and a terrible house move. It’s been a real shit year!
I get all of that. Dealing with death myself, at least peripherally. You’re lucky though, all that writing. I don’t really get to do that so much because the motivation has been zapped for the most part. But it will comeback at some point.
I find it cathartic! It flows out! Get back to it Marla!
It is cathartic. But it doesn’t flow out if I’m not motivated. When I’m motivated, it’s like I’m not even the one writing everything I’m pumping out. I’m just… the medium. So, until I’m motivated, it’s basically just staring at the blinking cursor indefinitely, which is super frustrating.
I can imagine!
