I sent my passport in for renewal today for NZ. Came awful close to taking a picture and making a trolling facebook post about moving to Canada, but nobody would believe me.

Re: The First Trump term.
And you know, this isn't even cowardice. My facebook wall is.... was, because I blocked them all.... full of the women talking about how rape is going to be ok now, and the not-white people I know talking about how they are going to be deported. The right wing people I know.... quiet. But this isn't just fear from the left, this is paranoia. This is way worse than anything I've ever seen about 2nd Amendment peeps worried about Obama coming to get their guns.... nobody was rioting about that. This is paranoia, and when it turns into riots, it's dangerous paranoia.
These people have a disease.

Maybe, but I'm not fully onboard yet. Certainly their ability to completely deny all facts that oppose their beliefs is a sign of mental weakness, but is it a disease or is it conditioning?These people have a disease.
You're talking about people who are locked in echo chambers. I'm thinking this is more along the lines of self-imposed ignorance than a disease...?

Even when they are rioting, talking revolution, and openly hoping for an assassination?

1. For fuck's sake learn how to use the buttons at the top of the editor. It's not difficult.
2. That's Breitbart and we've been told here that nothing they say is real. So even though you linked a story with a video clip for proof, it's clearly all made up.
If an assassination happens, that'll be the end of the Dems in this country. It will be open warfare as all the nut job right wing militias go on the offensive.
In other news, Nancy Sinatra calls out CNN for making up news.
Remember, "Faux News" and how all the Republicans LOVE fake news sites like breitbart... What do we call it when CNN does it? "Well, I'm sure Nancy is lying or remembering incorrectly. She's a bitch anyway. Fuck her!"

Breibart is obviously incredibly pro-trump, but they aren't in the conspiracy theory business at least.

Re: The First Trump term.
I think that was me that said something along those lines. It's not that I think all their stories are made up, but I usually try to find a confirming source on their stories. You can look up the Breitbart New Year's Eve in Germany story for an example of why I look for corroborating sources.Leisher wrote:2.

I think I voted for mediocre. I think that makes me a winner?
I figured he had a higher chance of assassination than W. But I didn't think he would get assassinated.

Re: The First Trump term.
I honestly have no memory of how I voted. "Worse than Carter" comes to mind. Considering some people have really shitty health insurance compared to 4 years ago, I might be a winner, too, according to some.

Oh drink the kool-aid Gordon!! 20 million people are now insured. It doesn't matter how many people who had insurance now can't afford it. It doesn't matter how many people lost their jobs because of it. It doesn't matter how insurance plans provided by employers are now going the way of the dodo. It doesn't matter that employers started cutting employees hours so they didn't have to give them health benefits. Benefits they now can't afford because they work fewer hours. It doesn't matter how crippling this shit is to small businesses.GORDON wrote:I honestly have no memory of how I voted. "Worse than Carter" comes to mind.
