I fear it starts with messing with vaccinations and we have long dead diseases come back, but then shifts to other things, like “you don’t need those meds for depression because I’m not a Dr. but I know better than them and they are trying to poison you”. Then they are sending people off to for profit torture “treatment” camps like the rich do for the “troubled kids” now.

In the end you have people in essentially old school psych facilities where they aren’t really treated, they are just “out of the way”, and when they die they put them in the mass grave out back.

Except he has more disdain for his supporters than anyone else, even the “radical left” that he puts on a show about disliking. But his cult are the ones he lies to, grifts away all their money on a deluge of just garbage with his “brand” on it, and just thinks they are the dumbest and most useless people. He has made comments about them not having lives and being unstable.

“I saw him when the cameras were off … Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them basement dwellers. On a hospital visit one time when people were dying in the ICU, he was mad that the cameras were not watching him.”

She continued: “He used to tell me: ‘It doesn’t matter what you say, Stephanie, say it enough and people will believe you.’”

Yes, the lawsuits are part of their plan, because they know even when all these cases get thrown out because they got nothing (like last time) that the base (Trump’s foot soldiers) will believe Trump saying the justice system is being used against him/them.

It also seems to be that every election year now there is at least one state that doesn’t have their shit together and we have to wait a week for results.

This has been part of the Republican long game. Like in Georgia when they wanted mandatory hand counts of every district and then try and compare those against the machine numbers to call count differences out as “obvious ballet tampering”, when by the very nature of being human, hand counts are less accurate (especially on that scale). Just doing stuff that at a quick glance and no thought could maybe be perceived as “voting integrity” but is really all about voter suppression and disenfranchisement.

Bannon during Trump’s term referred to this as “flood the zone with shit”. Essentially just putting out such a large volume of nonsense that people just give up, you break their will to vote/argue/oppose you/fight back/correct the record.

Social Security Numbers for Noncitizens Generally, only noncitizens authorized to work in the United States by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can get an SSN.

Yes, but in getting a SSN the government already knows your citizenship status, and so when the voter registration workers check your information your SSN I would think would allow them to confirm your status (or lack of SSN as a red flag). Again the checks are in place already, this is just Republicans working around the rules to get them what they want. And sure people can reregister, but at least some of these people are going to be disenfranchised now and not see it as “worth the hassle”.

Edit - Also the SSN thing matters because of this quote from the article as the basis of this.

The state’s plan flagged people for removal if they check a box on a Department of Motor Vehicles form declaring they are not a citizen or if they leave it blank.

From my link @ SSA above.

You don’t need an SSN to get a driver’s license, …

So they are purposely using a form that means nothing to try and push their bad faith argument, and the Supreme Court just said “sure, why not!” instead of stopping them like the law and lower court said.

Note that you must provide your Social Security number, if any, when applying to register to vote in Virginia. Therefore, if you do not provide your Social Security number, your application for voter registration will be denied. State and local voting officials will use your Social Security number as a unique identifier to insure that no person is registered in more than one place.

Again they already have checks in place and this is transparent tampering with voter rolls to help them in the election next week.

But wasn’t citizenship checked when registering? This is the part that blows these anti-democratic lawsuits up as purely political and a way to hopefully remove enough people they think are going to vote Democrat. Otherwise what is to stop these people from re-registering on election day?

And I have seen tons of stories about the overworked poll workers needing to deal with these voter role challengers nonsense. They all say there are safe guards built into every layer of the system and this type of stuff does nothing but create more work for election officials and less secure/democratic elections.

Oh the irony that people he has conned into being his “muscle” are already tried and convicted, yet Trump has managed to delay even having his day(s) in court.

The biggest problem currently is that everyone left of Trump’s far right movement are all left lumped together for representation. And I think AOC had a decent take on this in one of her PA stops the other week.

The thing is, if he wins they are in trouble anyway, do they not remember the paper towels he tossed at them in a time of need last time? He has surrounded himself with nothing but fascists and racists this time around, I would be surprised if he didn’t hold aid for the next hurricane until they can “pay their fair share”.

He doesn’t sound like he wants to be a cuckold, he wants to spank his daughter in a sexual way. This is just like Trump broadcasting how he wants to have sex with Ivanka more than anything. If their daughters could be talked into it, both of these sick fucks would be down with fucking their kids.

The man is dropping recorded in real time reports of how he wants to overthrow democracy, why would anyone waste time trying to locate and edit Trump campaign staff previous statements. And messing with the Internet Archive would be a waste of resources for Putin, or any foreign state, as things are batshit crazy everyday in the present, why mess with obscure quotes from people nobody knows and have no impact on anything?

Biden doesn’t do anything to piss Republicans off, he bends over constantly to make everything bipartisan. And picking Garland was probably because he knew that he would play it “safe” and do nothing rather than have anyone be able to begin to say he was doing something political. Garland has been in such contrast to Barr who just shit all over the law like he had done in the past (and I wouldn’t doubt got a secret pardon before the end just in case he ever needs to play that card).

Like JD Vance, Trump loves people that need to humiliate themselves doing a 180 in service to him and shamelessly covering for him in public.

Are suggesting Trump’s campaign has anyone competent enough to hack the Internet Archive in an attempt to remove material from years ago? Or are you saying that maybe someone hacked the Internet Archive to plant creditable sounding comments about Trump’s campaign staff?

Maybe I’m way off though, and you’re not trying to create a new conspiracy theory and just forgot to finish your sentence.

I see articles like this stating he has donated $0 and doesn’t intend to contribute anything. He also calls out Musk for what he is doing.

According to OpenSecrets.org, which tracks campaign financing, Cuban last donated to a candidate in 2002, when he gave $1,000 to Democratic California Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren’s campaign.

Things like this are their goal when they use buzz words like relaxed regulation, “small government”, and “free market”.

Has someone posted an argument, or do you in the future see yourself seeing an argument with someone on here taking the side of “alternative facts” and letting that change your mind? If not then it’s just someone likely downvoted to the bottom that people will ignore anyways, not worth the time to post it. I think something like Facebook works for these types of things better, as the population is generally older and more likely to see and reshare just any nonsense true or not.

Because I personally don’t see the fediverse as a great medium for trying to bring people into the cult, and the ability to bring people out of the cult is even less likely online, fediverse or not.

The original Facebook was just “hot or not” for a college campus, and required invites.
