This is how it works though, right? They keep ostracizing groups until they run out of out-groups to attack and the next round begins. The old inner circle is now the circle and a new inner circle is proclaimed, the new outgroup(s) are revealed, and the feeding frenzy continues.
This is what always baffles me about minorities that are staunchly Republican. They’re actually voting for themselves to be put on the chopping block (just not right away)
They rarely are. Hate is stupid and easy. You don’t need to think in order to hate, you just see someone and decide they’re bad for whatever reason you like. Heck, if you can’t find a reason let Fox and Friends™ find one for ya 😀
Probably the most common right-wing taking point these days. This is the level of discourse the GOP has to offer at this point
Excerpts from the article i found most poignant. This guy just lies and lies and lies:
“You talking about the ballot the lady told me I could take,” Savage said. “I got the paper you’re talking about. I just rolled it up and put it in my pocket. I wasn’t trying to steal from nobody.”
Savage reportedly began blaming other Madison County officials for this becoming a criminal incident, telling officers that “this is all political bulls**t is all it is.”
When told that the security video did not show Savage ever asking permission to take the ballots, Savage reportedly admitted that he did not. He told officers that he thought he could take the ballots because they were marked “sample.”
“If you got to Payless, or go wherever, it says sample and you usually can take a sample,” Savage said. “So that is the way I took it. I thought they were fake f***ing ballots.”
Court documents detail how text messages found on Savage’s phone show he did, in fact, know that the ballots were not just fake. Furthermore, both stolen ballots were clearly marked “IT IS A CRIME TO FALSIFY THIS BALLOT OR VIOLATE INDIANA ELECTION LAWS.”
It should have been funny if it had to do with comedy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If it pushes Harris more decisively into office, all the better 😄
Ever hear of sarcasm? That’s the way it came off to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
🫠 i jumped right into that one 🤣 i lol’d at myself over that one, thank you for the proper bamboozle
Do you understand how to process facts or do you just make it all up as you go along?
Which leads me to think she could actually be a good president if she wins 😅🤞
Have you? I’ve been there numerous times and can’t ever recall the smells to be anything worse than any other public arena
Billionaires own the way most people in the US (the world too) consume their news.
Fox News has been the most-watched news station in the USA for 22 years, trailed distantly by MSNBC and CNN. I very much agree this is the main reason. They’ve been crafting narratives that speak directly to conservatives fears, and keep them in a constant state of panic/hate so that they will vote squarely against their own interests when they elect the guy Fox tells them will solve their problems.
One of his final rallying cries to all the racists, homophobes, and misogynists. Lifting the mask as far as necessary to make sure they know he hates those people just as much as they do, if not somehow more. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel, making sure every delusional shit stain remembers who their guy is. This is the modern GOP
Well it better apologize then!
I’ve been wondering what the endgame is for Russia if they can’t defeat Ukraine. You know they won’t accept defeat without some scorched earth sorta business first…dirtier and dirtier tricks etc. This is gonna get a lot worse before it ends…
This is why i think there’s still such a strong push for AI from the major tech companies–it’s not just about developing a product for consumers to use–it’s a product to use against consumers too
