I've got far too many people on my Facebook feed who refuse to believe those were Trump supporters yesterday. One dude is now turning course and blaming "antifa, qanon, and neo-nazis" for the event.

If they refuse to believe those were Trump supporters, why are they blaming Qanon and neonazis?

I facebook stalk my neighbor because she's a crazy Trump supporter with a III% sticker on the back of her minivan. She supports him SO MUCH she was even in a local pro -trump ad! She was also the subject of a local reddit thread because she was harassing local officials at home over COVID restrictions. She, of course, was in DC yesterday. She has this to say about the woman that was shot by dc police and died:

"They were shooting at us outside with rubber bullets, gas, flash bombs, etc. That dude made a HUGE mistake and he MUST pay for it. He needs to be charged"

They'll agree with that wholeheartedly. The problem is they'll lump Antifa and BLM in that second category without a hint of irony.

We're watching the birth and formation of a domestic terror cell that will never go away. To assume the people that stormed the capitol with zip ties with a mock gallows out front weren't there to execute our elected officials is laughable. We're already at war.

quote:

Well said Dave Ramsey.

Dave Ramsey

“This morning, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, lives are never going to be the same.

I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.

You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind.

We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.

Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.

People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.

Universities that advocate equality, discriminate against Asian-Americans in favor of African-Americans.

Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.

Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.

People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.

After legislating gender, if a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.

It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquiries about it.

People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.

Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.

Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcomed.

$5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.

If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.

And, pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"!

Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it is racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.

We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.

Wake up America. The great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water and sinking fast.

The meltdown would have been identical because they are literally unable to perceive a difference between any two politicians with a D next to their names.

Yeah but you have to consider how the typical chud views the political spectrum:

Obama, Biden, AOC, and pretty much any big name they can think of are on the FAR end of left. If it's a name Fox or Facebook has been blasting them with you better believe they're "far left."

Basically just "All Democrats" vs "All Republicans." Though they'll definitely make distinctions for their own side once they ditch Trump.

Edit: beaten like Trump

Did Dave Ramsey actually say/post this? It seems weirdly out of character for him. I'm not saying I wouldn't be able to believe he's a chud, but it doesn't seem like his style of speaking. In fact it feels like one of those chain emails/posts that somehow gets a name attached to it even if the person didn't say it.

No, he is a chud (he only really talks about financial conservatives but I assume he is also social Chud) but he did not say that. Other than the first part that acknowledges the insurrection, everything else has been spread online for a decade or so. His name has just been added to it.

In this of all threads, titled "Got a crazy forwarded political email from your family? Post them here." because social media sharing wasn't a thing when it was created, it's a bit rich to say this is a birth of anything. This is the same poo poo, it's just trapped in a death spiral hoovering up more and more dumbasses as it goes like some kind of domestic terror katamari
