Dispatch from the Trump cult
Can you point to me a single judge who ruled the election was stolen?
MAGA cult member: "Look at the Supreme Court"
But the SC hasn't accepted any of these cases
MAGA cult member: "I have alternative news and I find out differently"

Watch the whole thing if you have time. Are there people like this at Biden events? I'm not saying there aren't. But I've never seen them.
Democrats do have many crazies in their midst. it's a big coalition. And I know there's lots of woo and irrationality. Take RFK Jr. for example — there are plenty of left leaners who think he's great. But I'd be surprised if there were many who believe that Donald Trump, for all his immense flaws, is draining blood from the brains of children and using it to drug the population. Yet Donald Trump has a not insignificant number of such people who believe this of Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton following him.
Even worse than that (if that's possible) is the fact that the woman in the video dismisses every indisputable fact by questioning, "where did you hear that?" and insisting that it's fake news. You can't deal with people who believe that all reality they don't like isn't real.
This is cult stuff and it goes way beyond the kind of grotesque propensity for racism and bigotry that characterizes so much of our species. This is superstition and brainwashing. And there's a lot more of it than we've probably seen since the early days of human civilization thanks to the internet. It's beyond creepy.

I watched the video. Its kind of hard to believe this sort of thinking takes place on the planet earth.
If you look hard enough you can always find what you are looking for.
True. These Trump supporters think joe Biden is extracting blood from baby's brains. I'm sure they looked very hard.
These videos are just the lefts version of libs of tic toc. A little entertaining but that is about it.
According to a study by the Public Religion Research Institute, 25% of Republicans believe in the central views of the QAnon conspiracy movement 1 . This is compared to 14% of independents and 9% of Democrats who subscribe to QAnon’s beliefs 2 . It is important to note that the QAnon conspiracy theory is based on false and unfounded claims, and has been widely debunked by experts and fact-checkers 3 .
I have confidence they found what they were looking for. If I cared enough I would check out the study to at least see the questions asked. Did you look into the actual study or stop as soon as you found what you were looking for.
Sure these are obviously the wackiest people they could find. But then again, Trump is consuming the GOP so it is difficult to dismiss this kind of nuttiness as just the lunatic fringe. Part of his supporters are conspiratorial nut jobs (like in the video) and others are (for other reasons) planning to vote for a traitor to be PotUS.
Whatever the reasons and mental issues of certain voters, the GOP has lost its collective mind.
My favorite here is, when people who have never volunteered one minute of their lives to serve their country, question the patriotism of those who have.
That my friend is …… FUBAR …..
It should be a requirement to hold a position of public trust. President, Rep. Senate should all be required to have served.
No argument from me. Think of all the shitbirds we could have avoided if that were true …..
“Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.”
… undisputed leader of the Republican Party.
So we would never have been saddled by the orange bone spur?
Yes, and no fake asthma. I’m good with that. The last democrat candidate that would have been fit to serve would have been Carter, I’m also good with that.
Agreed...
Notice how Trump defenders never answer specifics.
The GOP electorate does not seem to agree since they are quite willing to vote for a traitor who attempted to steal the 2020 election using fraud, coercion, lying, and incitement in an attempt to circumvent the CotUS and violate the foundation of democracy — the votes of the electorate.
If not serving is reason enough, then one would think that this would be more than sufficient reason to NOT vote for Trump. But we are living in very strange times with a GOP electorate that has lost its collective mind.
No one can defend Trump. They dont even try. That tells us everything we need to know.
Yup, Trump defenders routinely deflect to Biden and attempt (feebly) to equate Trump with him. Defending the indefensible leaves no option other than dishonest tactics like these.
Exactly, or Biden, or Obama or Clinton …..
At a certain point people can lose control of what is coming out of their mouths. Racist, fascists, MAGA, Trump supporter/defender....etc. None of it has any meaning anymore.
You do not know the meaning of 'Trump defender'?
Real simple: someone who deflects or makes feeble excuses for Trump's significant bad behavior — especially his worst behavior such as his attempt to steal the 2020 election.
You do not know the meaning of 'Trump defender'.
Real simple: Anyone that does not scream from the mountaintop how evil Trump is at least 6 times a day.
Not surprised that you offered a ridiculous definition.
Except that is the definition used by many here. Too bad you don't seem to see it.
No, that is ridiculous. Most everyone on this site does not 'scream from the mountaintop how evil Trump is at least 6 times a day' (or equivalent) and they are not considered Trump defenders by that lack of action.
A Trump defender is defined by the words they post. When Trump is criticized (on something significant) and an individual deflects or engages in a feeble attempt to defend the indefensible, that is the act of a Trump defender.
Your constant "defense" of Trump is not to try and exonerate his actions, it is to do perpetual whataboutism and spouting nonsense like "traitor Joe" in a feeble attempt to equate Biden's alleged wrongdoing with the maniac Donald Trump's wrong doing.
Last week I posted the text of the Eastman memos. Not one conservative on this site came on that seed, because if they did they might have to try and explain why Trump approved a plan to have Pence unilaterally declare Trump the real winner of the election and in the process disenfranchise millions of American voters. Your constant whining about Biden is mind numbing. You cant defend Trump on a single fact , so you try to dirty up Biden. That is how you "defend" Trump.
This wasnt proposed behind Trumps back, he was totally aware of it.
Why do think he wants to avoid going to trial ?
Probably the same reason most defendants want to avoid trial. [deleted]
Seriously?
Not quite, I forgot the blood oath
I would like to know what that alternative news source is for that first woman
