Here's What I'm Seeing
Self | 11 July 2024 | LTC.ret

Posted on 07/11/2024 12:47:10 PM PDT by LTC.Ret

I have a lot of college educated White friends --- nearly all of them liberals/Democrats. They are posting maniacs right now on facebook => 20-30 memes a day for most of them. They are an echo chamber of the Trump is a Nazi, Republicans' pending neo-fascist plan in Project 2025 is dangerous stuff, the Heritage Foundation is the real deep state, this is the end of Democracy, etc. ad nauseum. It's emotion, emotion, emotion ALL the time with little to no reality in it.

So I asked a guy that I know if he remembers asking me to visit him in prison when Trump is elected and becomes a dictator --- and he said yes. I reminded him that that was 2016. So I asked him if Trump put him in prison => no . . . Did Trump harm you in any way => no . . . So what makes you think he is likely to do that now => silence . . .

They already KNOW what a Trump administration will be like --- they've already lived it the first time. It's insane they way they are all acting now.

Oh, and when my female friends post their pronouns, I can't help but read SHEep/HERd. Sorry/not sorry --- couldn't help myself.

I love that. I may even jokingly use those. 😂

It’s a spiritual battle for hearts.
Trump ain’t Jesus but his heart inclines to the right.

Those that lean left have a tendency for delusion and evil, lying and violence.

Those inclined to the right have a leaning toward the good and peace and just want happiness and freedom from persecution to pursue it.

They should listen to Trump instead of mindlessly and heartlessly believing what they hear about him.

I don’t know what else to add….but I know others do.

A FB frenemy is all of the above in the OP. He’s gotten more nuanced than Orange Man bad! I think it reeks of desperation, as he really believes his own (and the MSM’s). BS. He’s Biden’s age, snd seems to be slipping since his wife left him...over TDS gaslighting. He’ll admit that Biden has lost a step, but anything is better than the immoral criminal Trump.

Yup i’ve seen “Trump isn’t the problem. MAGA is the problem.” Prepare for their Final Solution.

Exactly what was said of Rush. And many that listened saw the light.

Their new claim is that Trump will be different this time because of the immunity ruling.

But a President planning to commit crimes can just plan to pardon himself. So what’s the difference? [silence]

“his wife left him...over TDS gaslighting”

Wow, at age 80?? Probably some dementia — he didn’t know when to shut up and never thought she’d go after all the decades

I had an in-law family member drink that *Resist* kool-aid and proudly posted pictures of herself there with one of her daughters.

“”when my female friends post their pronouns””

Most of these “pronoun people,” if they were really honest, would post the pronouns Me, Myself & I.

Re: Post 8

The photo of Janeane Garafalo is way out of date. She's no longer wearing her disguises but is still stuck in middle school, using adopted tween surliness as a means of avoiding growing up.



Janeane Garafalo has morphed into Steve Buscemi in his skit of going undercover in a high school, right down to the "Music Band" T-shirt with the lightning bolt.



Five seconds of the clip of Steve Buscemi undercover in a high school from the '30 Rock' television show:

The Democrat Party began as a party of slave owners.

Democrat support for slavery helped bring about the Civil War.

Post CW, Democrats resisted Reconstruction.

Post Reconstruction, Democrats controlled Southern State and local government. Democrats’ Jim Crow laws used government to enforce apartheid and treated blacks as a population to be “controlled”.

Democrats have NEVER been for freedom. They see themselves as a class of masters. During the Roosevelt years the Democrats courted the votes of blacks via national socialism, a new form of slavery. Look at every Democrat policy: they always support using government to impose their will on an unfree populace. Accusing Trump of fascism is the standard Dem tactic of projecting that they do onto others.

Yep, we saw all the ridiculous pics. What did all that “Resist” crap amount to?

OT, but I just watched Buscemi play Nikita Khrushchev in “The Death of Stalin.” He is amazing.

Have you seen Macauley Culkin lately, he is Buscemi’s doppelganger.

Point out to them that ultra-left NYT-er Ezra Klein recently said that top Dems are privately admitting to him that their "Trump is an existential threat to democracy" quote that's saturating the internet/airwaves is BS. His claim is causing a firestorm, though I'm unclear if the incendiary anger is aimed at the top Dems for lying to their armies of marionette-lemmings, or aimed at Klein for saying what he did, or both.

Progressives enraged as Democrats reportedly privately admit Trump isn't an 'existential threat to democracy'

The leftist podcaster interviewing him was furious ....

"Who the f--- is this?" an angered Miller exclaimed. "Out your sources, Ezra!"
......
"You have a calm voice, but you're skyrocketing my f---ing blood pressure right now," Miller said. "Ezra, I'm just, like, so f---ing mad."

Remember that Eagles song? -- "Life in the fast lane. Surely make you lose your mind. Life in the fast lane...."

Some wordsmithing Freeper should write a parody using: "Life in the Bubble. Surely make you lose your mind ...."

Dedicate it to all the Bubbleheads in your life.
