Every time one of us posts, Can you believe what (Trump, MTG, Boebert, Comer, McCarthy) said??? it’s a reminder that we do not understand the enemy.
I can hardly be the first to point out this dynamic but if today or tomorrow, one of us says, Did you hear the racist shit coming from Tuberville’s piehole?? it means WE ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
Let’s keep it short.
The fake electors. Why tf would otherwise intelligent people, many of whom are lawyers or well-educated, sign their legal names to an obviously fraudulent document?
The idiots with Trump flags waving from their pickups? The 1/6 rioters? What motivates them? Is it racism? Is it the deification of Trump? Do they think there’s profit in it? The answer is:
No,
no,
no, and,
no. It’s a distraction, but it’s not what’s going on between their collective ears.
They are sacrificing themselves, committing crimes, going to jail, sending money, and engaging in obviously anti-constitutional activities, for one reason: To save America from communism.
That. Is. It.
Some guy in a thread called me a limp-wristed liberal instead of answering a simple question: As a libertarian, how do you reconcile government control over morality, abortion, and history?
This went on for a while, using the same phrase over and over: limp-wristed liberal, as though he was entirely out of colorful adjectives (or it was the last thing he read in a Newsmax thread) After a dozen tries to get him to spit it out, he and others like him never do.
Why? Because they know a secret that we’re too foolish to understand: “Communism will take over the country if I (they) don’t personally stop it.”
It’s communism! CRT=communism. BLM=Communism. Hell, even MLK was a commie until they tried to twist his words to fit their narrative...for about 30 seconds. It’s all communism, all the time with us!
Under this scenario, Trump is 100% justified in stealing the 2020 election and Pence is 100% justified in sending electors back to the states. Rioters are 100% justified in destroying our Capitol. Fake electors weren’t doing this as a prank, and they sure as hell knew it wasn’t legal, but they engraved their names on a document intended to disrupt a democratic election because it was their duty to save the country by any means necessary.
All that outrage bullshit? It’s measured, analyzed, and sold by Facebook and other social media companies to both increase outrage by progressives and fine-tune messaging to Republican voters. I know we gotta vent but just know that that presser with McCarthy and Stefanik yesterday was pre-written to hit every talking point — like the one where she said there’s one set of rules for the Bidens and another for “Law abiding citizens.” She didn’t make that up on the spot. It was packaged specifically to piss us off.
Neither McCarthy nor Stefanik believes communism is a threatening scourge. But it puts money in the bank and MAGAs in the streets so it’s not going to stop. We will not win an argument with these guys — we can only vote them into oblivion.
