I do remember hearing a lot about the Hong Kong protests right before COVID hit and the way they suddenly died has always made me wonder if China released it early and that's why the Dems seemed so disorganized for the first couple months of 2020.
I'm sure some of them do think that they're actually elected and are unaware of the fraud that their party runs to keep them in as long as they're useful, but there also have to be a lot of them like Pelosi who know damn well how they stay in power.
Seriously, who the hell do they think this actually appeals to?
One of the things that caused me to look into what Trump was actually saying was just how cartoonish their BS headlines were where they'd simultaneously paint Trump as a moron but also a genius supervillain in the same breath.
"I thought it'd be fun to own a newspaper."
Biden shuffled into the voting booth to cast his ballot after he showed the election worker his ID.
Wait, so Biden's home state requires ID?
I certainly had not had "Dr. Phil Speaking At A Trump Rally" on my bingo card.
It started at least a few months before the election.
Yep and I also remember that Project Veritas undercover video of the CNN Director admitting they had to ditch "Stop Asian Hate" because it was only making BLM look bad.
Back in 2020 they were even calling Asians and Indians "white-adjacent" when they refused to adopt wokeness.
Yeah that was a stunt that only worked once.
I had no idea until the last minute that Trump's entrance song was being sung live just out of frame.
Looks more like a cockatiel I had who would not leave me alone when I had popcorn, he'd perch on the edge of the bowl and eat from it.
Right after he did it at the RNC "you would have been disappointed if I hadn't done it."
Well I did not have Dr Phil on my bingo card.
He's probably just sad that the change of batter turned out to be Kommiela rather than Big Mike like him and others kept predicting.
Though I wouldn't be surprised if some of them really are just moronic "true believers" who live in a bubble and don't comprehend what regular people have been going through.
Also people are already forgetting how in the lead-up in 2020 Trump kept telling us that they'll steal it and he'll have to go away for a while. There's none of that talk this time, it's "we'll win it" and "they're try to steal it but it won't work". Maybe because this is the first time I've paid attention to multiple election cycles in a row but it has made me realize just how short the memories of most people are.
I keep telling my dad that the push for early voting is likely to have Trump so far ahead before election day that any steal attempt is going to be so absurd that even my dumb democrat uncle will have to question when stuff happens like there being more ballots that the entire adult population of the USA. He however keeps worrying that we're giving them too much data for how many fake ballots they need and just doesn't get what "too big to rig" means.
Few leftards are willing to riot in the cold weather anyway. That's a big reason why the Floyd riots were scheduled at the start of summer.
I don't see the point of burning stuff that you already own, they already have your money anyway. When I ditched Metallica back in the day I sold my CDs used to someone else, at least I got some money back and it meant a few less royalties to the band than if the dude had bought his own new copies.
Makes one wonder how much of Kommiela's visible frustration in even friendly interviews is due to her wondering if a big joke is being played on her by her handlers.
I just hate the people it tends to attract, like certain genres of music where I might like the band but won't go to a concert because I don't want to deal with their other typical fans. I think the saying goes "love X, but hate the scene."
Reminds me of someone's story of working for a company where a hippy guy who had been there for some time one day asked what the stuff he had been working on was used for. After he was told they were targeting system components for B-52 bombers he pretty much just went catatonic and silently walked out of the factory never to be seen again.
I got real sick for a couple weeks right after Thanksgiving in 2019 after having a plumber over who had just gotten over the flu he had said. I also recall stories of the virus being found in wastewater samples from as far back as October 2019 in some cities so the actual release was probably back in September and it had already spread to the US midwest at well before the news ever mentioned something going on.
