    Sovereign citizens and trumpers must have a lot of overlap since they’re both delusional.

      Sovereign citizens always made me laugh, ESPECIALLY when they go quoting the Constitution! I mean, what the actual fuck!?

      The Constitution? You are not a fucking citizen of this country, so it does not apply to you, motherfucker! And none of these jackoffs should even be allowed to use our roads, our postal system, none of it. What are they going to do? Sue? In the courts of a country they are not even a citizen of? Well, fuck you!

        I know someone in England who had a stroke and then got into the sovereign citizen thing, flat earth etc. Sane professional prior to the stroke.

        Another person I knew who was into it was later diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic.

        It’s obvious that these things are at least borderline mental illness, as is trumpism.

          I’ve often wondered the very same thing. You see people when they get into their 60s, 70s, 80s suddenly do this weird turn into Republicanism and I wonder if something happened to their brains. I’m sure other factors may enter into it - they form a nostalgia for an America that never really was, or they are very lonely and the con cult offers a lot of love-bombing at the outset, anyway. Maybe it’s the kayfabe/WWE aspect that Faux was explicitly set up to offer and it appeals to a certain mindset…

          Yes, you are of course correct. I’m being a bit facetious here, obviously.
