Right wing media has already caused them to think that any news source outside their media lies and is fake news. So like, for example Hannity, all he has to do is talk about how "fake news CNN and MSDNC are releasing my text messages without my permission, it's an incredible breach of privacy, it's a massive violation of my rights, this is why we need to go after the mainstream media and Big Tech and hold them accountable." The fact he's admitting the texts are real by saying it's a violation of his privacy doesn't matter. His audience already thinks that the texts are fake and made up, so he can be upset at their release and get his audience to be upset while also still not believing the texts are true. This is useful because it means he doesn't actually have to admit the texts are real, all he has to do is say that the networks reporting on it are "fake news" and that carries the implication that they're false without actually lying and saying that. Then he also gets to shift the focus to "my right to privacy!" so the content of the texts can be even further ignored and turn the focus to "They'll release your texts one day too just like they did to me, if we don't stop them!"

I looked and it's mostly a bunch of "no true scotsman" type responses that suggest Fox et al are and always were a bunch of liberals, so this is no surprise. Interestingly there are more than a few posts calling Trump, Rudi, and crew out for never producing any evidence for their claims, but just as many if not more saying "of course they haven't because Sidney Powell had all her cases thrown out immediately and therefore never really had a chance to show her evidence. It's there but the LIEBRAL COURTS won't let us hear it!" also https://www.businessinsider.com/sidney-powell-voter-fraud-claims-headless-time-travel-dominion-fox-2023-2

The cases were thrown out because there was no evidence and what was presented as evidence was false on its face or what was alleged wasn’t criminal. The court system is not an investigative body.

And many of the judges still went over why the “evidence” is bullshit when they dismissed the cases. But learning that requires reading and is thus beyond most of Freep.

And they'll never put the two-and-two together that, "Wait, if this evidence is so damning, why not just post it online?" and let the problem take care of itself. Of course, it'd never happen because it doesn't exist. Which is the follow-up answer to that thought.

I was just thinking about election night 2016 and how no matter what happens politically, freepers are always miserable and talking about how soon America will be a communist police state. It didn’t matter to them that trump won or that trump lost, because the state of the world has absolutely no effect on a freeper’s thoughts or actions, other than the one 80-year-old who tried to shoot up a holocaust museum in 2009. I take a weird kind of comfort in their consistency. No matter what happens, they are fundamentally unmoved.

I know they were pro Putin when he was doing all the anti LGBT stuff but I had no idea freepers thought that supporting Ukraine against the Russian invasion was a bad thing as trump put it, he thought it was a real clever move by Putin. The Freepers have no real empathy and cant understand solidarity or having the least concern for someone else. So their only framework for understanding why Biden would support Ukraine is that it must be a corrupt kickback scheme, because why else would you lift a finger?

That's about as far as the thought process goes. Important to keep in mind at all times they have no values, see hypocrisy as a privilege not a problem, and don't give even the slightest flying sideways gently caress about any of it, pro- or con- anything. They just want to hate and attack their preferred outgroup. Whatever they have to say to be able to hate their chosen target, that's what they'll say today. If you don't like their principles, well, they have others.

Do you remember how Churchill quipped, on siding with his old opponent Stalin, that if Hitler invaded Hell, he would say some nice words to the parliament about Satan? Freeps are the same, except it's the POTUS (D) that is Hitler to them.

If they were savvy they would understand Trump chose to screw them or was never offering policies they wanted in the first place. They aren't. Trump healed the psychic injury of having a well-liked black president for 2 terms, and that's really all they wanted.

Consummate Professional posted:Doesn’t China have a much more robust space program than us? Not really. They're doing their own thing with their own space stations, but they don't have the diverse portfolio of missions that NASA does. Of course, NASA leans on SpaceX pretty hard these days for the garden variety GEO/LEO launch, so if you want to talk strictly "in house" then yes Chinese launch cadence wins out. Of course, what NASA does, it does well, and the SLS is currently the heaviest lift vehicle out there, if also one of the most expensive.
