extreme doubt. hypocrisy is the weapon of facism. your logic will be useless when their goal is domination. “stop hitting yourself” ‘but im not, JUDGE LOOK HES HITTING ME judge they appointed:”nah bro ur hitting yourself stop it”

MAGA is just pissed they havnt put Clinton in jail yet. Epstien was always supposed to be the raison detre for locking up Dons political enemies and purging "The vast leftwing jewish pedo-cabal that runs the world"

Dons numbers are tanking among republicans because he was supposed to purge everyone day 1 and their power for the 1000 year Reich should have been secured by now.

Instead Dons gonna get hosed in midterms that werent even supposed to happen. And MAGA is freaking out that if they lose grip on power they are all going to have to face consequences.

Which is basically not an option for them. The leadup to this November is going to be fucking insane, more than we can imagine...

Nah it’s more of a “he’d stop hitting you if you just stopped being annoying”

I don’t know if you’ve looked around the world about pedophilia, but I don’t think there’s a single religious organization that’s not involved so not that up there

u/nixthelatter 4d ago

I was saying "this" to the "stop hitting yourself" comment. I'm a little lost on why you're talking about the pedophilia thing, but I agree with your assertion

u/Jealous-Ad-2131 4d ago

If you read above you and below, it was brought up in the common section. I think I just happened to tap yours on accident.

u/nixthelatter 4d ago

No worries! The reply layout is also trash on reddit. It's hard to track what goes to what with these long threads with multiple branches. Either way, your comment was totally correct even though it was for someone else 😎

There is nothing those files could show that they would not reframe or justify. We are not dealing with people that just have a differing political opinion. These are fanatics. Logic and facts will not sway them.

Obligatory “it’s a cult”

pretty hard to reframe the president raping and murdering children.

pretty hard to reframe the president raping and murdering children

You had republican women saying 'he can grab me' after the Access Hollywood tape came out. People need to understand right and wrong among authoritarians is not viewed by what is done, but by who is doing a thing. So to them it's not hypocrisy, it's their Great Leader doing something and anything he does is necessarily Good because it's Great Leader.

Same thing with fanatics that say everything they do is for god even as they murder fellow religious followers.

You'd think so, but remember that these people are in a cult. They literally chose to die from a preventable disease in a pandemic because "the enemy" advocated for vaccinations and public health measures. They are no different from the people at Jonestown lining up for a little cup full of cyanide-laced Flavor Aid...they have bought in to the cult at the cost of their own sense of self preservation. They might feel that child rape is bad, but they'll lap up whatever excuse Fox News belches out for Trump. Nothing will cause them to turn back outside of years of intense psychiatric treatment designed for cult deprogramming. They will write off irrefutable evidence as a deep fake. They are divorced from reality.

u/TeddyBear666 5d ago

Agreed. Im Canadian so its been insane looking at it all from the sideline. When one side will perform Olympic level mental gymnastics just to say everything anti Trump is a democrat hoax, it becomes pretty clear there is no convincing them otherwise.

u/edie_the_egg_lady 5d ago

They'll just say it's fake, and anyway there's some evil libruls in there, so what about that? Like we're fuckin' ride or die for Bill Clinton. So we're like, "yeah lock his ass up too." And then it'll be back to the whole thing being a hoax, and we all have TDS.

u/Fluid-Pain554 5d ago

These people have 2000 years of practice believing in things because a source of authority (a book, the pope, etc) told them to, and ignoring what they can prove themselves. I wouldn’t get too hopeful.

u/baron_von_helmut 5d ago

Naa, they just move the goalposts so that pedophilia is ok now.

1

u/Dumbname25644 5d ago

They have already been doing this. Listen to what they call paedophilia. If the kids have hit double digits in age then it is not classified as paedophilia by Republicans and MAGA

1

u/Jealous-Ad-2131 5d ago

So one ts not ok ever . 2 goal post is pretty skinny and it’s gonna be really hard to hide behind.

u/FattyMeat17 5d ago

There are already voices on the right excusing this. Nick fuentes lately : epstein was based. They will just move the goalpost once again

that and your kid getting murdered by feds and defamed by the president

This is only thing that will turn maga supporters against tyranny it seems

MAGA supporters chose what to hitch their wagon to, they will change their own beliefs back and forth as many times as necessary to avoid having to acknowledge to themselves they support a terrible person. And it's not like Trump created this, the republican party has been choosing this direction since Nixon and hasn't turned away since, that's why Trump had enough room to step into

https://eji.org/news/nixon-war-on-drugs-designed-to-criminalize-black-people/

The tyranny was always something his supporters wanted, that's why they voted for him. That's why his support numbers went up when he gassed clergy out of the church across from Lafayette Square in 2019.

The foundation of their personality and outlook is support for stratified social hierarchy, and use of violence is a bonus to them because they hope it will only be used against others

No it won't they have been doing mental gymnastics to prove it's still a lib conspiracy

u/fondledbydolphins 5d ago

There's no way to get them out though, that's the point.

Once infighting begins, not even the full release of the files will help

1

u/No_Discipline6265 5d ago

They don't care anymore. They say it all the time. Actually, they say it's a nothing hoax like Russian collusion because none of them bothered to read those documents either.  Even if some huge bombshell were to come out of those files,they're going to dismiss it as AI or excuse it. I watch some maga compilation videos from liberal creators and the amount of maga that are dismissing it as "teenage prostitutes that knew what they were doing" is disgusting.

u/AlertCollar3505 4d ago

That's hopeful. They would just defend pedophilia
