Distant Doonhamer Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Many people would still vote Tory if a blow up doll was leader.Agreed. Not sure that’s uniquely a Tory trait mind you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was speaking to a mate last week who seemed to have genuinely completely forgotten that the last general election had ever taken place. Wondered if this was another example of the same. Thanks for clarifying. hairy muff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 If Trump had even secured $2000 checks for everyone then he potentially staggers over the line. If they’re eventually approved under Biden then that has to be seen as a masterstroke from the Dems and the Republicans that wanted rid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonapersona Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 All of Trump's inner circle really thought that *somehow* he was still going to take the presidency. Because Trump. Reality is now setting in for them. Talk about rats leaving the sinking ship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I find it hard to understand if Trump supporters really believe their own rhetoric regarding stolen elections and all the QAnon stuff. Are the conspiracy theories just intellectual laziness or is there an element of genuine belief? It’s like these Evangelical preachers; they either know what they’re doing is simply a scam, in which case it’s criminal, or they genuinely believe they are communicating with/speaking for a divine being, in which case they’re nuts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The initial Q proponents are pretty much confirmed as at it but plenty of supporters are full believers. Will Sommer was talking about his correspondence with supporters on Chapo and was mentioning that he’s spoken to supporters who have traumatic experiences like being diagnosed with cancer or having children with severe disabilities coinciding with America’s dreadful healthcare system and concluding thanks to conspiracies like Q that the problem is that the deep state is deliberately withholding their cures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aDONisSheep Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 The problem is that we're all prone to bias. All these sub-cultures are inclusive and supportive (if you buy into them). They are self perpetuating, people want to believe, what they want to believe and in a world of 8bn people if you go looking others with similar views, you can find it. They confirm your bias and you go again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Trump tweeted this when it was all kicking off, since deleted. Quote “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!” Funny thing to say to the people he later called defilers who carried out a heinous attack and will be punished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Heid Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Watching Trump deny a democratic result, has a striking resemblance to Scotland and denial of both the 2014 Independence Referendum and the 2016 EU Referendum results.Thankfully the denial remains largely peaceful protest. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you genuinely believe that an election has been stolen from you and that democracy is under attack by someone, and that all peaceful avenues have been exhausted, then armed resistance to that seems a fair enough response to me. It’s almost as if he doesn’t believe a fucking word of it, or it’s an arse covering exercise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare what he did to what Nixon was forced to resign for and needed a pardon to avoid getting banged up.

Forest_Fifer Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Finally a lie that's going to come back and bite him. When they have the inevitable enquiry with sworn testimony they'll find out he was watching it unfold with a huge bowl of popcorn, refusing to take calls, cheering them on and laughing at Pelosi and Pence having to hide. I immediately deployed the National Guard and Federal law enforcement to secure the building and expel the intruders. Yeah, that was the first thing I picked up on. They basically stated at the time that the DoD refused permission to call out the DC NG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Trump just tweeted that he will not be going to the inauguration [emoji38] He needs to be out of the country when he stops being President. Preferably somewhere without an extradition treaty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
