    I swear this is part of a wider ongoing experiment. “What’s the most comically ridiculous, most bullshit conspiracy we can come up with that the maga cult will believe”.

    Whoever is behind it: please stop. We’ve known for a long time now that there’s is no bottom to that well.

      Good. Trump needs a lot more than the MAGA cult to win an election (I wish I didn’t have to keep saying this). If we can convince them to start spreading the rumor about bigfoot in Ohio to the point that Vance and/or Trump starts talking about it, plenty of people leaning right will say, “this dude is nuts. No way am I voting for him.” They might not vote for Harris, but they also might not vote at all.

        Trump needs a lot more than the MAGA cult to win an election (I wish I didn’t have to keep saying this).

        But he doesn’t in order to seize power undemocratically, which is his real game plan here. Remember, the NAZIs never had more than 30-something percent support in 1930s Germany, either.

          Okay, but that’s a totally different issue from what we’re discussing.

          Also, he doesn’t have the concentration of people to do it. January 6th happened because he was able to concentrate people in D.C. and was president at the time.

        Ideology for many of the conservative mindset is more important that principles. The Democratic leaning voters are the ones that can be fickle enough to stay home but the Republicans would still vote

              If he wins that will end the careers of those coming out against him. There is no reason for them to do so if they are going to vote for him.

            I don’t hear any of that outside the prominent ones. The smaller local ones are dead set on voting for Trump in my neck of the woods. But we have the nutters like Matt Shea constantly siring the pot and North Idaho seems like a powder keg waiting to go off. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone doesn’t try another Ruby Ridge type standoff in the next 5 years.

              Okay? You were claiming all Republicans will still vote for him. That’s demonstrably not true. If big name Republicans aren’t going to vote for him, why are you assuming all other Republicans will?

                Because I talk to Republicans, like with my mouth and listen with my ears. I see the roadside Trump support. I see people hanging banners on freeway overpasses. I’m just being realistic because I don’t think conservative voters really care about what the Republican Elites are doing if those people aren’t MAGA morons.

                If I may project a little, I think the commenter is pointing to language that’s been cropping up essentially calling big name republicans traitors for endorsing Kamala. While you’re more than allowed to interpret what they said literally, I read it has intentionally a bit hyperbolic to make the point that a huge portion of the Republican Party will literally blindly follow him, even if the party leaders are starting to flake.

                Just remember, rewording this statement:

                If big name Republicans aren’t going to vote for him, why are you assuming all other Republicans will?

                To the version that would exemplify your interpretation:

                If big name Republicans are going to vote for him, why are you assuming all other Republicans will?

                Still creates an equally bold, and hyperbolic claim. Sometimes people use words like “all” and don’t really mean every last person. I blame the English language, not the people taking words literally, for misunderstandings like this.

                Just remember, especially with politics, people often hype up language a bit, it makes statements carry more oomph, and can help keep supporters excited for whatever movement they are supporting.

Depending on your standards, they might be weird, but I’ll take harmless weirdness over harmful normalcy any day, let alone harmful weirdness.

      I admit, I have tried to figure out hypothetically how someone could get away with murder, and I thought going to another state, or even going to Mexico or Canada and then killing a random person would be part of it, but even then, you would have to do it from a distance because you might leave DNA on the body (they might fight back for example, get a bit of your skin under their nails or something). That would probably involve shooting a gun. Which is loud.

      Maybe if you found a way to poison someone without anyone seeing the both of you together…
