They Keep Turning Up the Crazy
« on: Thu, 16 May 2024, 17:02:43 »
I simply cannot understand what they are trying to accomplish.

They may have gagged Trump.
They didn’t gag me.
They can’t gag me.
I have no gag reflex.
I am ungaggable.
I have trained my whole life for this.

It's a distraction.


Alright, but FROM what TO what? It just makes no sense on any level.

Are they saying that they don't like being told to wear masks during a pandemic, but yet they want to be able to tell "other people" that they can't ever wear them?

Do they even understand that they are simply proving how stupid and duplicitous they are? Or is that somehow the point?

It's not about what they let you see. It's what they leave out.

What should be in the news, isn't in the news.

this is baffling stupid, I think the only purpose is to keep the culture war going so the maga peeps can keep giving them money.

It's a friggin memberberry for the height of the pandemic three years ago.

"Member when woke leftist liberals wanted you to wear face-masks against a harmless flu, and you got angry. We want you to feel the same now again"

This one seems pretty easy to flip.  Just get 10-20 thousand people to put on masks and stand in a public spot.  Could even offer music and snacks.  Cheap and effective at showing the law means nothing and will be quickly reversed.  It's not often that peaceful protest is so easy to achieve.

Or, or,  or,  H5N1 2024,  2 million more people die.  Let's see how this goes.

People feel stronger in groups. If these politicians can make their followers feel heard or vindicated, they secure their next vote.

What hurts the most is that this actually makes people feel vindicated...
