Yes, and this is just one example of their way of thinking. It's like yes, the principle isn't wrong, but it relies on a different context than the actual reality. Tariffs is another - yeah they are not pure capitalism, but until other countries don't do them either....

We wouldn't be in this situation without rampant government interference in all areas of the economy including the money.

"Capitalism would work way better if we didn't have subsidies."

->

"Capitalism would work way better if we had capitalism instead of fascism."

Another angle - bear in mind lots of people on ZH and similar sites tend to be libertarians. And libertarians as a general rule view Principle as their guide but drop context in the process. Example: Trump wants closed/regulated borders. Principle: Everyone should be free to go wherever they want, borders are bad. Conclusion: Trump is bad. Context dropped: But not everyone is benevolent nor crossing borders with good intent.

They do this about all kinds of stuff and end up screwing themselves in the process.

The thing is this - "it is obvious" - exactly/indeed - the world/situation looks VERY different if you don't know about Q enough to a) be aware of the general Plan and b) believe it (because you've seen enough Proof(s)).

"Awful vax" is a good example. To anyone that does not understand exactly what warp speed did, why it was necessary even if DJT knew it was going to be Bad in terms of vax effects etc, he is very bad for this point alone.

So all these commenters are basically operating from what evidence they know of, can see and believe, etc. And I don't think Q awareness (beyond "it's a conspiracy"/Operation Trust etc, see first paragraph) is nearly as widespread as it may seem like it should be by now.

This site likes to think it's the Public Face of Q but I don't think anyone I've referred here grokked it enough to settle in and get it. I think this is where X comes in, where normies can get exposed to small bites at a time (e.g. Maher video on Hollywood pedos now circulating). Most people probably don't need full Q awareness level, just awake enough about certain things that they get the direness of the overall situation. Then when this does get all wrapped up they will learn they didn't understand Trump or what all was really going on.

I never ate there, but holy cow in high school and even into college Olive Garden was the bomb. Eventually I learned about real food and decades later dated a girl who was still in that food mode. Well of course us dating improved her food taste but she still had that memory of how great OG was.

We were on a trip one time and the small town we stopped in had like fast food or Olive Garden. I relented and said fine, it can't be THAT bad, not as bad as McDonalds or Del Taco or whatever other dumb choices we had (e.g. no Carl's and this was when they were still good).

OMG. It was worse than I expected, by a lot. [Edit: And she agreed, profusely. She couldn't believe it.] She apologized for doubting me and a few times well after too LOL.

These national chain places, I just don't get AT ALL. Yet they are still going strong because Americans apparently wouldn't know decent food if it fed itself to them, overall.

I see a few obvious bots or whatever but a couple legit accounts...what does the blank mean exactly?

Exactly - now we have to wait. Any celebration is premature. ESPECIALLY as it was ONE holdout - I assumed it would be the opposite but only one juror did not agree with NOT GUILTY. So it's more like he almost made but now, arrrrgh.

That quote was BEFORE the mistrial. A mistrial can be retried (double jeopardy does not apply). We need to wait and see where this goes from here.

Are you kidding? This stuff has been going on a lot longer than that. Yes, generally skepticism is warranted when rape claims etc are eons ago, but in the context of the blackmail stuff coming out now etc it at least warrants "wait and see" vs "out of hand dismissal."

I wasn't aware "we" are.... Many of "we" understand the whole thing has to come down and the quicker/cleaner the better. A long drawn-out depression has very real chance of civil war, for example.

The influencers you cite are to awaken those paying attention at that level.

Edit: Trump didn't exactly tighten federal purse strings either - IIRC it was the opposite which caused much gnashing of teeth....

About the only good thing about him is the anti-vax stuff. And that sucks, because independents/anti-Trumpers I know are for him for this reason alone, blind to his extreme leftism elsewhere ("for gun control" is big understatement, for example)(you'd think since he knows who killed JFK why having them is important, but no-one said he's actually smart or anything).

Just did a search on Gaetz. Top results are either defending or hit pieces. Then there's this. Whether MG is good or bad (if not looking "ideal"), some awake replies....

According to this, he wasn't single at time of adoption. BUT. Who TF adopts - and teenager not just "dying to have a baby but can't" - right away as a newlywed?

I didn't realize there was a replacement for Nitter. Nice.
