I support Trump not because his political opponents have attacked him since he emerged as the leader of a populist movement in 2016, but because all of that tacks are lies. They knew Trump didn’t collude with Russia. They knew That Trump’s conversation with Zelensky was only a problem because it threatened to expose Biden’s corruption. They knew Hunter Biden’s laptop was real. They know the election was stolen and they know January 6 was a setup. Furthermore, they are willing to use the massive power of the federal government to crush ordinary people for supporting Trump. Trump hasn’t committed any crimes other than standing up for himself and his supporters. It’s the efforts to remove Trump from the playing field that is criminal.
🗨 Progressivism is an ideology of anti-reality. Its claims, its goals, its methodologies are all contrary to the way the world and human society actually works. [...S]ooner or later their virtual reality simulation is going to run out of batteries.
Oh but President Trump DID commit the worst crimes possible against the borg: he refused to start any wars, he supported a brief window of energy development and energy independence, he improved the small business environment BIGLY (especially for minorities which is AWFL since it liberates Vote Farmed Folks from control - a huge sin) plus unemployment went to a 70 year low, he put policies in action to return supply chains to domestic sources, and before the pandemic trap was sprung - the GDP hit the hightet growth rate ever recorded. That’s anathema to leftist orcs who don’t want young people to even get a tast of how a healthier economy function. Verboten!
Wholly consistent with autopilot mimetic mo: going through dictated motions without losing dumb enthusiasm on the way to eternal bliss fervidly preached by deranged progressivism. Which awaits just around the corner, this fated bliss, reachable as soon as stubborn hicks from flyover are escorted to re-education dachas.

things the left seems unable to understand which are universal human truths:
1) many men wear red ties. in fact, i saw one in a season 3 episode of Mad Men just last night, without thinking for a second that the costume designer and/or the character were fascists
2) the concept of Forbidden Fruit is basic (it's in the bible) and every parent knows that if you make something off limits to your children while providing no reason for the ban that they can understand, they will want it desperately. this has been true from the beginning of human history
3) all victors have made slaves out of their captives; nasty white people in 17th century american colonies didn't invent slavery.
4) if you keep telling someone that they are bad (those nasty white people again) they will hate you and revolt against your ideology
5) if the vaccine was any good, you wouldn't have needed a multi billion dollar propaganda campaign to sell it. or mandates
6) sometimes it takes awhile, but the truth always surfaces
7) the people who drape ukranian and rainbow flags on their houses don't really give a shit about ukranian homosexuals
8) people want to own and accumulate things- houses, cars, fancy gas stoves, more than 3 items of clothing a year. if you make ownership illegal, people will go underground
9) censoring mis, dis or mal information only makes us know that what is being censored is the actual truth and that what you are telling us as truth is, in fact, a big lie.
10) we don't need to be protected from misinformation. people recognize bullshit when they see it which is why no one ever answers those e-mails from the widows of african potentates offering to split the imaginary fortune.
9) i will not be wearing a mask, even if you ask me nicely
10) i have only voted once in a presidential election (i'm 70) so i can't really say i supported anyone but i sure am gonna vote this time
To me, NOT a PhD or political scientist or commentator.....I wonder WHY these nitwits can't see what's happening.
Trump got 62 million votes in 16, then 74 million in 20.....and the 'experts' told us he 'lost' because his base deserted him....those that voted for him before, left him....then how in HELL did he get 12 million MORE votes???? I know a lot of Trump voters...NONE of the ones I know forsake him in 20. All of us believe that Biden's total was inaccurate. ALL of us.
Now we have supposedly Republican pundits telling us we don't see what we see or feel what we feel. It's bad enough that the Dems tell us this all the time...now we have a chorus of Fox idiots telling us Trump doesn't have a chance and that NO ONE will vote for him....meanwhile, we ALL still support him. Am I to believe that myself and those I know, who all live not too far from Fulton County Georgia are unique in this country? We're just regular schmucks.....
Americans love an underdog...always have, always will. We work hardest when someone tells us we can't do things......you'd think these 'experts' would know that. It's why movies like Rudy and Seabiscuit and Mystery, Alaska were so popular.....Even if it's not our team.....we like it when the underdogs win.
First half: it's like an addiction, and as with all addictions the addict will throw up rationalisations: "It's not like that", "I can quit whenever I like", "Who are you to judge me?", "X is more dangerous!", and the most important one - blaming the addiction on everything but their own self.
Second half: It's also a case of "If I don't look I can't see it, and if I don't see it I don'tneed to (re)act to/on it, and since only WrongBadEvil people go looking for it and I'm one of the Good, I don't need to look anyway."
Combined and reinforced by group, it's almost impossible to help such a person get a grip on themselves. (That doesn't mean they have to change opinion on any specific issue, the mode and patern is a universal constant for humans; the goal should always be to simply enable meta-cognition.)
You come from a point of view of trying to understand people. Those such as the good professor (are we absolutely sure she’s real, cuz damn) are not interested in understanding people. Controlling people? Yes. Casting themselves as superior to most people? Definitely. But understanding? Wouldn’t want to waste of their precious intellect.
Then its a question of how real is the Whip? Or the arm wielding it?
This isn’t Heydrich or Beria , it’s just mean girls.
Mostly they can threaten social media likes.
Outside of Progressive dominated career fields where they might get you in trouble or fired - what?
Their greatest harm is within their own fields if they are in media or academia. Especially Media.
The extreme tail cases like Trump or J6, or the RTL arrests- most are out fast but they are only indicting and prosecuting very few, convicting fewer. This isn’t just incompetent repression, its sporadic and erratic repression.
Normally incompetent and ineffective repression is the worst choice, they have found worse yet; Erratic and Eccentric Repression.
They need to be arresting millions and imprisoning hundreds of thousands at least, they aren’t and probably can’t.
The sporadic and rare arrests compared to the defiant are the prosecutors they can scrape up and whatever dumb or compromised FBI dupes ...
It isn’t enough.
Ineffective Repression is just filling people with rage and contempt.
If you want to be Stalin be Stalin.
But to reach for Tyrant and fail to grasp Tyranny...
They want to arrest millions. They need another excuse. They want the indictments and arrests to be as infuriating as possible. That’s why they were so gleeful about the mugshot and so disappointed that Trump used it to his advantage. They are hoping ti trigger a violent response or a response that they can manipulate into violence. Then, there will be more propaganda and arrests.
Bill Clinton in 1998, and the way feminists were perhaps his biggest defenders in that impeachment, is out of these people's memory--or they're younger, and haven't bothered to read about it.
Amen. That was a huge turning point for me in my youth. Seeing the NOW turn on a woman accusing a man in a position of power of rape and sexual harassment is when it really clicked: it isn’t about principles, it is about power.
Because feminists and left wing women are simply incapable of thinking things through rationally and are incapable of seeing hypocrisy or the consequences of their actions.
If it affirms them and validates their feelings, it's correct, it's science, and the person saying it is good. If it hurts their feelings, it's incorrect, it's anti-science, and the person saying it is bad. They're children.
This is right up there with “why won’t the basket of deplorable trashfire slack jawed scum vote for us? Don’t they see we are on their pathetic wormy scrofulous cretinfaced side?”
Don’t we all crave loyalty? We have to be our own tribe. And we have to put our petty differences aside. And this is specifically what the power class fears. Loyalty to Trump and a certain set of values( like not being a total shit) means you can’t be loyal to them. How could you be loyal to a Joe Biden Nancy Pelosi, or Mitch McConnell , except as a prerequisite to climbing the power ladder in DC? They don’t inspire trust or admiration. They’re vultures. Loyalty comes from sharing something important. The Left is making Trump into an iconic figure. I just hope they don’t try to take him out.
Obama's inner circle says; "Watch Biden collect the hate while I prepare our selected candidate for a dramatic introduction in the Spring." Thus Biden gets the hook and most all of the pent up anger is gone. Add this to rigged elections and ; vola!
Sure Chris , a Mongolian marmot’s your loyal wingman for life if you keep him off the menu when the local eagle hunters have a hankering for a nice hot plate of boodog.
But never rely upon a Pygmy marmoset to have your 6 in a curare blow dart skirmish with the Matis people of the Amazonian rainforest. Those little hairy monkey bastards would sell their own mothers for a gulp or two of tree sap or a fat grub. Plus they can give you herpes, but I don’t want to go there right now.
But it's also very funny. Give the folks some credit for the extraordinary lengths to which they resort in order to make Trump the bad guy and all of us cultists. If this was a Twister game, the American Left would be in one gigantic knot.

(h/t @Theophilus Chilton)
It’s rooted in half truths and outright lies that pull on peoples heart strings. Once people look at the fine print, they reject it enmasse.
Nobody reads fine print, let alone en masse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Though random wishful thoughts are sure immensely comforting 🤸
Amen, brother.
Something I tell my Trump hating friends (during all of the impeachments) is that:
The heinousness of the charges, multiplied by the efficacy of the evidence= 0
Oh but President Trump DID commit the worst crimes possible against the borg: he refused to start any wars, he supported a brief window of energy development and energy independence, he improved the small business environment BIGLY (especially for minorities which is AWFL since it liberates Vote Farmed Folks from control - a huge sin) plus unemployment went to a 70 year low, he put policies in action to return supply chains to domestic sources, and before the pandemic trap was sprung - the GDP hit the hightet growth rate ever recorded.

Tru dat. Plus they never stray outside of the bubble. A good dose of Hoffer would probably kill them outright.
Cluster B Ruth is no different from 60s cult leaders: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-become-a-cult-leader
What’s cluster B? And AWfL
Cluster B = Borderline, anti-social, narcissistic, and histrionic personality disorders. AWFL = affluent white female liberal

It's not even theoretical. I'm old enough to remember Clinton being impeached, and his supporters still being his supporters.

3. Marmoset Pox (see 1.,2)
4. Marmoset vaccines
5. Marmoset lockdowns
