the dude that the police tried to murder with a 40mm round okay?
In the hospital, needed stitches and a drain tube in the wound, probably staying in at least until the drain comes out and they're sure there's no infection and no bleeding under his skull.

I mean yeah I've been saying since the instant I became politically aware that apparently being conservatives severs your ability to comprehend irony. Even young conservatives are miserably earnest or mistake 'irony' for saying your sincere but usually hidden beliefs out loud.
Same with humor. Have you heard a conservative of any age try to tell an original joke?

there was a post here i recall vividly from i dunno, ten years ago that was way too many words about how the primary driver ofmo dern politics was going to be peoples' collective inability to deal with a wildly more equitable distribution andn availability of information

at the time i think i laughed but they were so unbelievably right lmao

Suburban white men were just like this in the 90s: disconnected from any notion of a social existence and primed by talk radio to believe wild murder conspiracy poo poo about the Clintons, basically driven by racial resentment beginning with Brown v Board and stoked by affirmative action in the present.

Nothing has really changed for most of them. How many had some notion of UN black helicopters and the feds coming for their guns?

I figured it had to be something pretty stringent to prevent the whole thing devolving into people pretending to be Q or whatever. Sucks though because it makes it that much harder to hijack the thing. Nothing would be a more fitting end to this whole thing than getting boomers to walk into Starbucks or something yelling the Constitution verbatim like they're in the middle of a fugue state because of a post on 4chan

I have a co-worker who believes her office is bugged because a co-worker she hates always emails her about poo poo she just talked about recently. I tried explaining confirmation bias to her but she will not budge from this position. I then explained to her that if she legitimately believes this, instead of whispering in her own office she's obligated to search for and find the bug and expose this extremely illegal behavior that only she claims to believe in and she never does - she would rather stew in a paranoid delusion than risk the possibility she might be wrong, because if she was wrong it would mean she'd have to stop thinking these negative but apparently highly satisfying thoughts.

I've decided to leave her to her own devices but I see this attitude mirrored in pizzagaters and qanon folk - they claim to be certain but don't want to risk being proven wrong so they never do anything about it. They'd rather let children get trafficked than actually put any more of their credibility on the line. Say what you will about the guy who actually shot up that pizza place, he believed what he believed and he actually tried to do something about it.

I wonder how these folks justify their lack of action to themselves, if they bother at all.
