Which is interesting because they attest to the mental illness ending when their president gets elected

Without wishing to sound like a conspiracy theory nut (well, okay... this sounds like a conspiracy theory nut) I wouldn’t be surprised if the leftists “gave him something” to make him go nuts. With that and the “Oh, we have your taxes now, how about that!” New York Times leak today, it seems they’re pulling out all the stops ahead of Biden stammering and staring blankly at the camera lens on the debate. Pull focus. Anything. It doesn’t matter.

And that they need to be brought to justice.

I think what the communists are looking at are his end of the year April 15th taxes. He is/was CEO of Trump enterprises so I assume he had himself on salary getting a paycheck every week or so. So you can say not only he was paying taxes with every paycheck, but so is every employee so this claim that his entire company paid no taxes is ludicrous.

THE STINKING LEFTIST IRS had the records, and probably went over them with a series of fine toothed combs to check him out. How do they have any reason, right or reason, to have those records and print them in the local newspapers for anyone and everyone to read?? WHERE IS BIDEN'S RECORDS??? WHERE IS OBAMA'S RECORDS??? WHERE IN THE FREAKING HELL IS OBAMA'S BIRTH RECORDS??????????? Why the hell have we been DENIED by those same marxist appointed federal judges to hide his birth records??

Use the anger. Use it.
Freepers claim every election they lose is illegitimate, it's been this way for years. Trump is just broadcasting what Republicans have thought for decades for the world to see.

The thing that worries me is that surprisingly freep is a reliable barometer for what the Trump administration thinks about a particular topic. Troll any news story to get their hot takes and chances are months down the line you'll see another story on how bat poo poo a response someone in the administration had that aligns with something JLGrayfox or AnnArchy posted.

Part of that is of course them parroting back what Trump says, while the rest is the result of decades of indoctrination. Trump has seeded that any loss is because of fraud and some freepers have taken that to the conclusion that they need to install him as a dictator. Not just freep of course, other extreme right wingers are saying the same thing.

Could you see them wanting to install McCain or Romney as a dictator during those election cycles? In fact if you find that share it! Given their current feelings on those two it would be hilarious.

I was too young to be around then, but weren't they pretty fringe way back in the 90's? Like, with the whole Patriot movement and being hardline anti-Clinton?

I'm pretty sure that 9/11 shocked most of them into flag-waving "support Republicans no matter what" lowercase-p patriots. Sure, they still hated gays and Muslims, but that was more-or-less accepted to voice in the Republican party in the Bush Jr. years.

Then a black president got elected twice and they jumped right back into conspiracy-land.

I think a lot of fringe groups have been around for a long time, but the internet gives them a safe space to congregate. Sometimes this is good, like with LGBTQ+ people getting spaces to talk and vent and commiserate and deal, but it also gives white supremacists and other problematic ideologies places to congregate and feel safe and say hateful things, and not get judged for it. I think what's really dangerous about it is it often gives people tools to cover up what they feel or think and advice about effectively infiltrating groups like the cops.
