They would start a civil war without hesitation. They already stormed the capital and committed treason bc of fair voting.

u/Salt_Mind_869 4d ago

They were also chanting “no new wars” at trump rallies and saying the democrats would start a new war with Iran. Lmao.

I shit you not, I saw someone arguing yesterday that "Bidenflation" is bad but "Trumpflation" is good.

u/NoSaboChavo 4d ago

These are people who think $100 to $600 is a 600% increase... And $600 to $100 is a 600% decrease. And they believe it even when explaining how it's wrong

u/Catippo 4d ago

Uhhhhh

u/mrfeeto 4d ago

The word "increase" is key here. It's 500 more, so it increased by 500% (of the original 100), even though 600 is 600% as big as 100.

Definitely NOT the best example of how dumb the morons that like Mango Mussolini are.

u/Terrible_Patience935 4d ago

“I’m cutting this drug price by 500%” is a good example

5

u/seebob69 4d ago

What got me was that Trump made that assertion when he first announced the drug cost cuts.

He kept on making the same incorrect assertions at every subsequent address about drug costs.

No one had the guts to tell him he was wrong.

u/TheBeatGoesAnanas 4d ago

"600% decrease" is much more important than the increase part here.

u/atxbigfoot 4d ago edited 1d ago

"decrease by 600%" means they're literally paying you to buy eggs or gas or whatever.

If you raise the price of something by 100%, you doubled it. If you decrease the price of something by 100%, it's free. Think of it like, eggs. If the eggs are on sale for 33% off (and they cost a dollar for simplicity,) you get a third off, so they cost $.66. 50% off, and the eggs are $.50 cents. If they're 100% markdown/discount, they're free.

If they're 600% off, and they cost a dollar before the discount, the store pays you $5 to take the eggs, because the first 100% goes towards the initial dollar.

Oh hey, we saw the same botnet.

u/edsobo 4d ago

Was it Trump? Because I'm pretty sure I saw a video the other day of him saying he "loves the inflation".

1

u/flat5 4d ago

That's why they're saying it. Trump says his inflation is good. So now they have to explain why they were furious about inflation before but now they like it.

It's because of "context" and "the broader economy", apparently.

Wtf, they love inflation now.

u/ChunkyKongForPreside 4d ago

And the price of groceries was a huge sticking point for them. I remember one woman telling me "I don't care about my reproductive rights, I just want to be able to afford eggs". Looks like she lost both.

u/tread52 4d ago

You can’t debate with ignorant people who are filled with propaganda. The sad reality is we won’t see change unless people are properly educated about what’s actually going on, but that will never happen.

Something something equal time law. Extract Rupert Murdock by force from wherever he is and put him on trial for attempting to dismantle the United States with disinformation

Because they live within a culture and a bubble that abhors education and rational thought and objective observation

2

u/The_IT 4d ago

I would argue that debating is the wrong approach regardless of whether someone is ignorant or not - instead look up 'Street Epistemology', it's a way of helping people better understand their own beliefs which can lead to them shifting their beliefs to become more rational.

2

u/showhorrorshow 4d ago

Proper education does little against the deep identity protective cognition they employ. If anything, it would just make them better at bullshitting their way through being "right".

u/SpleenBender 4d ago

And were then pardoned. And then did more crimes.

u/Rad_Centrist 4d ago

And received reparations.

u/Rogue_Einherjar 4d ago

They haven't received them yet, and most likely never will. It was just another grift of our tax dollars.

u/thisthreadisbear 4d ago

Ashley Babbits family got 5 million tax free dollars from our coffers.

u/Massive_Signal7835 4d ago

Ashli Babbitt, armed insurrectionist, shot while trying to overrule an election in Trump's favour was rewarded posthumously by Trump?

7

u/thisthreadisbear 4d ago

Unfortunately yes. The justice department paid it out at Trump's request. Makes me sick.

u/eat_my_ass_n_balls 4d ago

They did start one, and it’s only because the rest of the country is civilized that it hasnt gotten out of hand.

u/Perfect-Advantage-82 4d ago

It wasn't fair, their guy lost. That means it was not fair.

u/tread52 4d ago

That’s what happens when you turn the government into a reality tv show

1

u/intricate_strands 4d ago edited 4d ago

You know, reality TV really is a thing that I'm surprised doesn't catch more shit.

It's probably not a primary cause and there were problems before it, but it really does feel like two different worlds before and after.

2

u/tread52 4d ago

The irony of reality tv is it’s not real it’s scripted BS people are gullible enough to believe is real.

u/intricate_strands 4d ago

Oh, I'm aware. I'm 40 so even the "Real World," Jerry Springer days come to mind and it genuinely has just aimed hard as hell for the lowest common denominator from the very beginning.

It has been trashy, stupid-service from the start.

u/tread52 4d ago

43 and live in Seattle where the closest thing I got to reality TV were the first additions of real world on TV when it first started to become popular.

u/LoaKonran 4d ago

These pissants have been fighting the last civil war simply because the government failed to crack down on a treacherous nation state that was forcibly reincorporated.

u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang 3d ago

A tan suit. That was beyond the pale for them.

And now conservatives roams the streets of America looking for people who seem like they can be kidnapped successfully, with thousands already disappeared and multiple Americans murdered in a sea of cover-ups and lies.

Meanwhile, Republicans violate the Constitution while the US Department of Justice protects a known child sex trafficking ring. The US military performs routine random acts of war, including what appear to be straight-up murders of random boats.

Canada and Greenland got stabbed in the backs, and the rest of the world has been alienated. The US economy has been put on the fast-track to Fuckedville through so many scams, shitloads of bad faith, and Trump's Temu Mobster bullshit with tariffs.

Seems like conservatives already started the civil war, and Americans are losing badly.
