    For a conspiracy or a cover up to be real in this day and age it needs to be small, otherwise it just involves too many people to stay secret.

    Trump and his “believers” are a different story. They know it’s not real, instead they’ve all silently (and not so silently) agreed to reject reality and substitute in their false god’s reality.

    It seems that the importance of…ahem, “telling it like it is” cannot be overstated. i.e., racism is an extremely powerful effect.

      “telling it like it is” is just coded language to say “he says the shitty things that I think are true, so it makes me feel less shitty and empty inside”

        it is pretty powerful having your beliefs be broadcasted and repeated ad nauseum by a figure you consider of authority. like discovering the idea you thought you had originally being already out there said by someone you hold in respect. for trump followers him just being the nominee of their party of blind choice is already worthy of praise and admiration.

        trump just loves their endless money pit, and will say just about anything to get it. they love that they have a former president with attention from the media to propagate their delusions.

      Absolutely none. These people are rabid in their wrongness, and are incapable of any rational thought. Just a constant drone of “orangemanbad” playing over and over in their heads.

        Right? People just hate on things that are harmful for no reason. “Orangemanbad” “Carbonemmissionsbad” “Snakevenombad” “Christofascistwannabedictatorbad”

        Fukkin snowflakes.

          I get that you’re being sarcastic, but you know what? You’ve changed my mind. Trump was as bad as carbon emissions and snake venom. Did you see his followers walking aimlessly in the capital on January 6th? Thank god that rebellion was quelled and we installed the, “better choice” that tangibly made American lives worse to fund a quagmire war in Ukraine. Then, after a complete lack of pushback, because, “at least he’s not literally Hitler,” he went on to hurt our lives even more to commit ACTUAL genocide in Gaza, using American livelihood to fund it,

          But you know, nobody on his “team” dressed up in a bear skin and larped around a defunct government building. So, you know, he’s the good guy.

    Yeah Trump is all that, but so is everyone else. Everyone lies to convince everyone else their share should be bigger.
