If Trump were the Pied Piper himself, I’m sure these covidiots would happily jump off the cliff themselves.

This about sums up our country right now:

At midday, along the east end of Freedom Plaza, a lone counterprotester stood on the sidewalk holding a sign that read “Trump is the fraud.” He wore a gray cloth mask.

A succession of Trump supporters approached the curb, unmasked, to offer their opinions of his solitary demonstration.

“Why didn’t your mother abort you?” one screamed. “You’re mentally disturbed, and you’re a coward, and you’re a f-----. I hope you get AIDS."

“I just feel strongly about the disinformation that’s being peddled on the Internet about fraud in this election,” said the counterprotester, a 40-year-old D.C. man who declined to give his name because he is a federal employee and feared repercussions at work. As a thin film of sweat formed on his face, an elderly woman in red MAGA gear paused and stared at him, sadly.

“We feel bad for you that you can’t see the truth,” she said.

“I feel the same way about you,” he replied.

Will Trump's last fight be against Howard Zinn -- and America's history teachers? - Alternet.org

Zinn’s book was one of the best sourced history books I’ve seen. Just look at the extensive bibliography in the rear. I’d challenge any author of right wing history texts to back their narratives with half as many first and second hand sources.

Wow, I just watched all the recent videos on Trump's Twitter page and the American people are really being deliberately manipulated towards violence towards each other. It is scary.

Before the protests/riots (both happened), I was getting a lot of propaganda on my FB phone app showing POC misbehaving in stores. I also got videos of Black celebrities saying there is no longer racism. I could tell I was being propagandized, and didn't know why and then a month later George Floyd was killed and violence broke out. The violence part was fueled by a combination of the militias (mostly Right-wing) and likely the local gangs and crime rings. This was blamed on "Antifa" and the Left (most of whom do not own guns). By correlating the protests which involved a lot of people on the Left wearing masks, marching in an orderly manner with the militias and local crime rings doing most of the rioting and violence, it deliberately was constructed to make the Left appear violent (reminder again that most do not believe in owning guns). This is now providing an enemy for the radicalized Right, so Trump is actively propagandizing the legitimizing of violence. He is deliberately making his followers feel afraid and in need to defend themselves.

I understand why people are expressing anger and mockery towards Trump followers, but I think it is extremely important to take the high road. I've made a couple of jokes, but will go back to not doing it. Trump behaves in a way to deserve what he personally dishes out (and his followers when they behave that way as well), but they are using any negative response from the Left to justify feeling threatened and persecuted. It is important to provide no ammunition for this goal.

^I moved that post from the Trump vs. Biden thread because it more aligned with this thread.

This is the video on Trump's page called "Meet Joe Biden's Supporters" complete with music from the Terminator. The video shows scary violence, but if people step back for a moment won't they realize how comical it is to say this is what "sleepy Joe's" supporters are like complete with double Y chromosomes and shrunken amygdalae? They also eat soya, Nutella, and veggie dogs, and refuse to own guns.

I'm tempted to make a spoof video called "Meet Sleepy Joe's Supporters". People are taking it seriously, though.

LEST WE FORGET THE HORRORS: A CATALOG OF TRUMP’S WORST CRUELTIES, COLLUSIONS, CORRUPTIONS, AND CRIMES

McSweeneys has been compiling a handy shit-list for the past several years. I'm not even halfway through, but everything I read so far is documented/verifiable. It's a handy list to have for when anyone says he isn't/wasn't bad enough to merit the animosity people feel towards him.

Ga. secretary of state says fellow Republicans are pressuring him to find ways to exclude ballots

I'm having trouble linking Washington Post stories, so I don't know if that link works. But it's a WaPo story.

In addition to getting death threats (for not being willing to tamper with the election, presumably), Raffensperger has said that Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton have been pressuring him to figure out some way to discard legal votes.

Since we're looking at a new attorney general in a few months, I'm wondering if this could be trouble for Graham. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed, and he's probably one of the last to put together that Trump's "it's only illegal if the other side is (allegedly) doing it" brand of LAW AND ORDER comes to a screeching halt once Trump's loyal minions have been removed from the highest offices. The law is going to start applying to everyone again, right? So I wonder if Graham's actions are as illegal as the twitterverse is saying they are.

Trump Fires CISA Director Chris Krebs, Who Corrected Voter Fraud Disinformation

More empty PR theater, like the lawsuits.

I don't think we need to be concerned about Trump being legally allowed to stay in office, but I have seen more than a few instances on Twitter of parents getting angry because their kid's teachers are telling them that Trump actually won. Can you imagine what that does for his ego? To see that teachers are passing his completely unsubstantiated version of reality on to kids - without needing any evidence at all, and in fact *in spite* of all intelligence agencies emphasing there's no evidence of tampering and all the frivolous lawsuits he's filed for PR theater to support his narrative being dropped because there were never any legs for any of them to walk on in the first place - to have people out there still 100% believing his delusional version of reality enough to feel righteous about passing it on to other people's children. Simply because he said it, without needing to provide a shred of proof. People like this - who protest his losing the election, who try to use their position as grade school teachers to teach other's kids these delusions, who paint pictures of Jesus hovering above him - are feeding an addiction that'll only get worse so long as his PR theater keeps effectively distilling the worship his ego needs.

He will leave the WH, but he's not going away. He's going to keep saying whatever it takes - with no self-awareness to keep his PR theater in check - to keep that influence over people, no matter how much damage it does to the country and the fabric of civil society.

Donald Trump is never going away. That's the most 2020 thing to happen yet.

Donald Trump is never going away. That's the most 2020 thing to happen yet.

He's what, 76? He's got to die someday. But until then he's got legions of narcissistic supply that treat every word he says like it's the word of God, and we have to live with them.

 

[Totenkindly]

74, I think.

This video is important enough to post a second time. This is Miles Taylor former Department of Homeland Security Chief of Staff and "lifelong Republican" speaking out against Trump. I wish he would be nominated as a Republican presidential candidate. I don't know his policies, but would make a guess that he would be reasoned, level-headed, a person of character, and capable of objectivity.

Who could have ever predicted Donald Trump's political strategy?...

I know this is a repeated joke, but it is hilarity.

 

[Kingu Kurimuzon]

send him on a rocket to the moon, tell him he gets to be president of the moon and his first order of business is to build the best, most phenomenal golf course, casino and theme park ever. I think he'd take the deal.
