Dude just tends to go on any news network he can and run his mouth off about how much he hates Trump. I think last week he got quietly shuffled off of Chris Hayes' show for blatantly cursing on air.

I like that the core of his rage is not that Trump is bad, but that he's an un-polishable turd. If only he was vile in a slightly more restrained way, like that human exemplar Ted Cruz, all of this could have been avoided! He and his kin would find a way to sand off the rough edges and go on about silent majorities and liberal media bias and somehow square the circle, like they've done with W, Rick Scott, Steve King and other harmful bastards. But this guy, he doesn't even do the whole "I'll pray on this" dodge!

He's not angry at the reprehensible poo poo Trump is saying, doing or planning to do and for that I'm more than happy to watch him melt down. He's just mad because it's what the right wind media has been saying all along but with bull horns instead of dog whistles and welp waddya know a huge amount of his base is just absolutely in love with what they hear and repudiating everyone else for being RINOs. His daughter doesn't deserve to suffer for him and 4 chan both being poo poo heads though.

I started this thread a long time ago but this Orlando thing has to be the worst I have seen RWM behave in all that time. It's really the perfect storm as far as their narrative and talking points go. We've got gay people, a Muslim/ISIS/ISIL, terrorism, guns and gun control, Obama coming out swinging all in the context of an election year. They can basically say anything they want about it and be "right", such as it is. It's an unholy poo poo stew of all the stuff they like to yammer about all condensed into one horrific incident and they're not disappointing in that regard. I mean, yeah, they're disappointing me for sure but not in the context of my already low expectations for them and considering how low they continually (re)set the bar. Within their camp and their base there's so much red meat, deflection and plausible deniability about their true meaning and intentions to be thrown around it's ridiculous. What a glorious, wide, perfectly timed tent for them all to rage underneath. Only thing I haven't heard so far is cries of "false flag", "loving fags got what they deserved" and stories about how this rear end in a top hat voted for Obama twice but I've been off the grid for a bit and I'm sure it's out there somewhere.

It's pretty well established now - guy was a bitterly conflicted, self-loathing gay man prone to physically abusing women. His father's line that religion was probably just the excuse he seized on to justify his self-hating homophobia and troubled masculinity seems to have been true.

Not that it matters now that the Republicans have the terrorist attack during an election year they so desperately wanted. Adding a layer of anti-gay rhetoric despite being all but forced to pay lip service to respecting the victims as humans is just gravy for them.

I've already seen some false flag stories about Pulse, and it's sadly how I came to find out the some of my friends/acquaintances on FB are Sandy Hook False Flag people, which has really put me in a lovely mood lately. And since I don't know where else to ask this, does anyone have a good rundown on how these False Flag events are run, at least in the eyes of the people who believe them? I've tried to concoct a scenario in my head that would be believable, but it crumbles after the first step or two.

Trump is God's gift to Hillary Clinton's campaign. I guess the fact that the victims were gay has them kind of scattered even without Trump's incompetence and disruption. Having to choose between hating Muslims, gays, or people daring to question guns has them unfocused on the hatred front. robotsinmyhead posted:I've already seen some false flag stories about Pulse, and it's sadly how I came to find out the some of my friends/acquaintances on FB are Sandy Hook False Flag people, which has really put me in a lovely mood lately. It never makes any sense for even slightly rational people. Just, somehow, a shadowy cabal sends agents to attack people to besmirch the good name of conservatism and risk precious guns. The least irrational theories merely claim that the media overlooked some detail that makes things look better for conservatives.The most crazy deny the events ever happening. Instead the vile *insert name here*-controlled liberal media convinces everyone a massacre took place using crisis actors to play the part on TV. It completely falls apart once anyone looks at the idea logically, but logical people aren't the ones who these conspiracy theories are aimed at.

The fundamental appeal of the false flag narrative is two-fold. First, as has already been mentioned, it is a denial of the random nature of the world, and second it allows the holder to reject the need for reflection or change. "Guns aren't a REAL problem, those mass shootings are all staged to get us to give up our rights." "Gays aren't REALLY oppressed, they just stage attacks to guilt gullible idiots so they can take advantage of them."

Probably an outlier but it was prevalent enough to warrant a snopes page.

Instead the vile *insert name here*-controlled liberal media convinces everyone a massacre took place using crisis actors to play the part on TV. in addition to what others have said, conspiracy theories are really empowering because they allow the theorist to believe that there is some secret, hidden knowledge that only they have access to, which makes them strong and superior to the masses. expertise and understanding what is REALLY going on in the world has a lot of social value and people really want to be seen by others as smart and capable. if you're not willing to put in the long, hard work of educating yourself it's a lot easier to just buy into some alternative framework, study the slipshod canon of those theories (since you can just make poo poo up you can effortlessly level up your own knowledge without leaving your room, in an evening!) and then find a community where everyone's going to pretty much agree with you anyway. at that point if you're invested enough it's like a cult, where outside critiques don't matter because they aren't in the clubhouse so they're obviously stupid dumb dumb sheeple that need to do the research falling down the conspiracy hole is one part social snake oil salesmanship as well as getting really intoxicated on your own farts. it's seductive, which is why people get really invested in it e: think about conspiracy theories as nerd canon, where people can know every loving thing about star wars and who the best bounty hunters are and all that stupid crap, except applied to a fictionalized version of the real world where it's even more difficult to tell fantasy from reality boner confessor fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Jun 16, 2016 |

Tank the economy and then take away all the entry level jobs / fill them with people who have already been working for 20+ years. Though that sucks for everyone. Then say "lazy millennials don't like to work" without any irony.
