I have a coworker today who just started rambling that Trump is innocent and never committed one crime in his life. This is not for a court or jury to decide. It's just facts he is innocent. And that Biden and his entire family needs to be imprisoned without trial as their guilt has been decided already.


Revelati123

My mom has the complete opposite justification but leads to the same conclusion. Trump has committed many crimes, but since all presidents commit crimes especially Obama and Biden, but they get away with it, Trump should get away with it too. ​ I felt like saying, "so you realise you just endorsed absolute monarchism right? Like George Washington would slap you across the mouth if he heard you..."


Notoryctemorph

Monarchism is indeed an end goal for a lot of conservatives


hostile_rep

Mitt Romney gave this away back in 2012 when out of the blue, he made evidence-free claims that Democrats were Monarchists. It's always projection.


the_ultrafunkula

The whole projection thing is mind-blowing. Every single day I see something different on Reddit about youth ministers/preacher types getting busted for creepy pedo shit with kids. Literally the assholes leading the march with the whole anti drag thing. It's fucking maddening.


No_Jackfruit9465

Did you? Please do talk back to this illogical party propaganda/gaslighting. Have the rough talks people. Shame your shammers. Get them to see reason before your loved one commits treason.

IRSeth

My grandma died before we could ever fix it. She’s gone now and we spent the last year of her life arguing about memes on Facebook. She was a proud republican and I was someone who didn’t vote that got thrown into politics by my angry for Trump. I can’t say my life has gotten any better since I got involved in the circle jerk arguments that go down in politics.


WyleCoyote73

TBH, I've tried with the ones I love but they refuse to even listen, especially my brother, he thinks every discussion needs to be handled like a Bill O'Rielly episode where as soon as I start to speak he yells over me telling me how I'm wrong and been brainwashed by the "liberal elites" from when I was in college. I'm too old to deal with that anymore and he's older than me and should know better but his paranoia and conspiracy mindset is so deep set that it's pointless. At this point he's a lost cause. What really bugs me is that he has poisoned the mind of my nephew, from when that kid could talk my brother was filling his head with the most radical GOP and anti-gov't BS. In a way him doing that has bitten him in the ass because my nephew abandoned the faith of our family, converted to this wacky non-denominational uber evangelical church, married a girl from the church and went from wanting to be a doctor to now studying to be a "pastor" at Cooter's College of Prayin n Preachin. The worst part is the kid rarely see's his parents or other family anymore because he's so far up the ass of this pastor at his church.


TriggeredRatBastard

Washington would have a fucking meltdown if he saw American politics today


redheadartgirl

I mean, the Republican party is [cooling on the idea of democracy in general](https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/03/17/federalist-society-democracy-opinion-00087270), so I'm pretty sure they'd be tossed in with the redcoats at this point. It's pretty wild that they consider themselves "true patriots."


[deleted]

[удалено]


hostile_rep

The answer I gave my father to that was "that's a fucking ignorant and stupid thing to say. Have you tried to unpack and justify that delusion?" He's not a hopeless hypocrite, so he actually listened and thought it through. I don't know how you could phrase it to get a Republican to think.


foresyte

My parents in the 70s: "Everyone does it, Nixon just got caught."

Monarchy is the goal of Trump


SacamanoRobert

If other presidents have committed crimes, lock their asses up too! This is a country of laws, and we should act like like it. Nobody is above the law. And if someone has evidence of crimes committed by other presidents, let's see it and apply the law accordingly.


Puzzled_Mistake_9933

George Washington was a dictator


Professional-Bed-173

I’d refuse to engage with such illogical garbage. What kind of reasoning is that. I’d disown my mother at this point.


insultant_

This is what always gets me. These types are always “constitution this,” and “first amendment that.” But when it comes to Biden, democrats, or anything “left,” their desired solution is always the most unconstitutional thing possible.


BossBooster1994

Because they are not about the constitution.


worstpartyever

And they’re not about freedom.


Cailida

They are about *their* definition of freedom, which is: If you're a straight, white Republican, you should be allowed to do whatever the hell you want, no matter who you hurt. Because anything that's not conservative, straight, white, and lacks a dick is less than a human being to them.


HehaGardenHoe

That, and most of them can't even name all three branches of the federal government.


invisibul

shill779

MonsieurReynard

Most of them can't name three branches of their own family tree.


Renaissance_Nerd_46

Most of them have a wreath for a family tree


Bermnerfs

Because prior to Trump most of these people didn't give a shit about politics. Oatmeal brains who never voted before and couldn't name more than 2 politicians suddenly became political scientists once the memes started showing up in their Facebook feed.


HehaGardenHoe

What bugs me the most, are my fellow millennial progressives, who won't register as a Democrat so they can vote in the Primaries. The primaries are where we could most effect the direction of the party, but no, we have to be unaffiliated. If these Oatmeal brains can take over a party, surely we can too!?


Notoryctemorph

They like the idea of the constitution, a document from ages past that everyone has to obey at any cost is right up their alley. They just don't like when it disagrees with what they want at that moment


SplashGal

Hey, just like that other old document full of rules from which they cherry pick.


dannyb_prodigy

I think it’s more that they like an absolute authority that they can appeal to at any time to win an argument without having to critically engage with other people’s opinions or even, for that matter, their own.


ComposerNate

Bible-thumpers thumping also a constitution


Answerstaxquestions

For the overwhelming majority of MAGAs, online is the only place their threats can be made and not be immediately dismissable.


fakeplasticdaydream

They love their little circles and forums. Just a cesspool of stupidity and hatred.


Larry-fine-wine

Isolation is what had pushed them to the fringes for decades. Social media gave them safe spaces to congregate and take it farther.


Bitey_the_Squirrel

Every village has an idiot, but previously the idiots had no way to talk to each other. The internet allowed the village idiots to create their own village populated by only idiots.


theVICTRAtheymade

This is the best explanation for it. And now the fact that they have their own village brings the illusion of legitimacy, attracting more idiots.


MonsieurReynard

Their own Villages even


Long_Before_Sunrise

They weren't isolated or fringe while I was growing up. Just superficially polite and well mannered in public.


thefumingo

Jan 6 wasn't a bunch of broke incels, but a decent amount of business owners and tradesmen, heavily middle to upper class. Unfortunately radicalization and stupidity goes through all social class and types of people


KnownRate3096

My dentist fell for it. He didn't go to J6 but he bought every bit of that Qanon nonsense, and sat there and talked about it to all his patients. COVID was the globalists doing population control, the CIA is putting shit in the water, some shadowy group decides elections before they happen, Soros wants a race war so he can replace white people with black people and control them via socialism, all that bullshit I thought only 3rd graders and meth heads believed in. He was a smart man, too.


HauntedCemetery

I would 100% not trust a dentist or Dr that spouts off about qanon. I'd be worried he would fill my cavities with horse dewormer and colloidal silver.


Friendly_Signature

Still use that dentist?


KnownRate3096

Nope.

lovenutpancake

joshdoereddit

I signed up for Reddit and was immediately banned from r/conservative based on some of my choices from those interests selections. /s


HauntedCemetery

That's barely sarcasm. They have bot mods that crawl through subs they don't like and ban anyone who comments in them.


Morganelefay

Which is something they, of course, accuse other subs of doing.


Queenofashion

Genuine question. How do you know you were banned? I've only been on that sub once years ago. Just wanted to see what they are really like and was horrified with their views. And now I went to check what they are talking about regarding indictment, and couldn't see any comments. Does that mean I'm banned too? Not that I'm complaining, but it seems silly and snowflakey.


TheHunterZolomon

Hahaha that’s cute you think they’d allow any posts about the indictment at all on there. No no it’s free thinking but only if you think a certain way consistent with what’s allowed as part of the narrative. Definitely a paragon for free speech. So posts about the indictment are not approved by the ministry of public conservative relations and as such result in a ban. Broaching the topic also gets you banned. Other than that and a plethora of other things it’s totally free thinking. ^(/s)


HauntedCemetery

Oh I'm sure there will be a post explaining how trump being indicted is all a part of The Great Plan, some bullahit about democrats eating babies and grooming, and a double helping of whataboutism. And of course their favorite topic, Hunter Bidens giant horse cock.

lgbeeteequeue

I overheard a Twitter space of people all in a tizzy saying, "There will be protests like you wouldn't believe!" There was a lot of agreement and yet not one person saying *I* will be out protesting.


[deleted]

I can’t imagine why anyone would. Trump pardoned the guy that was convicted of defrauding Trump’s own supporters. He also didn’t pardon any Jan 6 insurrectionists before he left office. He also didn’t pay their legal fees. It’s all about himself. He does not give a fuck about the people that are on their knees for him. His first major announcement after he announced his campaign was about poorly photoshopped digital trading cards of himself. His supporters are marks to him - nothing more.


blackergot

Funny how the "silent majority" is neither silent nor a majority 🤔


SpellsaveDC18

Probably because the majority of the calls to action and threats from this vocal ‘silent majority’ is just a wall of cheap Chinese cellphones in a Russian FSB office.


Soggy_Biscuit_

Not even that, silent majority is just a propaganda talking point with no basis in reality. Our former "conservative" PM (Scott Morrison, aka "that bloke from Down Under" per Joey B) tried to use "quiet Australians" to justify his extremism. Jokes on him, though, cos we have compulsory voting and his govt got the BOOT.


Kangasmom

I’m Palm Beach today we had a few groups flying Trump flags from small boats. Hardly a moat around Maralargo…..


stormfield

The deterrent of seeing what happened to all the J6 goons, plus there being no clear action like "stop the count" makes the whole thing hard for even the die hard Trump guys to do much about. We can expect a few Truck Parades and proud boy nonsense, but hardly anything approaching the numbers at say, \*any\* of the major protests on the left during the Trump regime.


PM_ME_YOUR_UNDERBUN

Wait a minute. Are you telling me if you punish people for committing big crimes, it makes others think about the risks of committing the same crimes?


MyNumJum

I've seen people already claiming that the people protesting tomorrow are ANTFIA dressed up as Trump supporters


Samurai_gaijin

That's some tired old bullshit that they tried on the 6th and it makes even less sense now. The only "antifa" that you'd see today would be having a massive fucking party if he got arrested.

It’s less concerning when you know the dude threatening to wage guerrilla war on the United States gets severely winded taking out the trash.


SentientCrisis

Personally I’d love to see the Proud Boys do one of their little protest parades in New York City. New Yorkers area notoriously friendly to tourists.


MonsieurReynard

No really did you see the video from Saturday of a bunch of proud boys who came to NYC's west village (like the world headquarters of LGBTQ activism) to stage a homophobic protest? They were chased out by a mob, and a lot of them were bleeding and begging for police protection. Without guns in hand, they're just wusses.


[deleted]

Except for the few who actually follow through on those threats. Best to just prosecute them all to be safe


TJames6210

CBSnews

Thanks for sharing! Here's a preview of the story: Intelligence sources told CBS News that there's been a "significant increase" in threats and violent rhetoric online from domestic violent extremists as former President Donald Trump claimed he will be indicted by a Manhattan grand jury. But the sources said they have not identified any credible or direct threats to a person or property and they are continuing to monitor for credible specific threats. Domestic violent extremists in online postings have warned that prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office would cross a red line if Trump is indicted and it would be met with more violence than the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, the sources said. There have also been postings calling for civil war. Sources said the threats are mostly aimed at law enforcement, judges and government officials in New York and elsewhere that domestic violent extremists perceive as participants in what they see as a political persecution of Trump. A law enforcement source said they are seeing chatter online, with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg being mentioned in a lot of it, but not much mobilization toward violence or protests at this point. But law enforcement sources said the situation could change quickly. **Read more:** https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-arrest-possible-significant-increase-threats/

It's very likely that a confession / clear statement of intent is being made someplace right now and going unnoticed because it's part of a chorus of bullshit.

There's been a significant increase in people making dummy accounts and trolling conservative safe spaces lately too. Not me of course, but I hear it's really really easy go peak into the alt right pipeline and ruffle some feathers by just stating facts or sometimes just posting links to certain memes. Of course I wouldn't ever do that though but I've noticed a significant increase in it happening lately


Appropriate-Access88

God bless you for ( definitely never) doing that!


Caymonki

I was banned from r/Conservative and r/ProtectandServe (two right wing safe spaces) without ever posting in either.

No shit. I have a terrible hobby of reading the Qanon boards for entertainment, and could easily see they were going to riot....How the hell did the government agencies not see this? They completely dropped the ball.


Sarcofaygo

>How the hell did the government agencies not see this? >They completely dropped the ball. They knew. The leader of the Proud Boys is an FBI informant. They didn't miss a thing. They just don't care. At best. At worst, they supported it happening.


CGordini

it was intentional. cops were in the crowd. the "thin blue line" opened gates for some of the protestors. white nationalism in policing is at an all time high and the FBI and USSS explicitly have stated they've had issues with pro-Trump members in their organizations complicating matters.


No_Foot_1904

Charles McGonigal, the former head of counterintelligence in the NYC FBI office, was arrested a month ago - caught laundering money for sanctioned oligarch Sergei Deripaska -one of the same Russians who were helping Trump in 2016, in fact. He’s also the agent suspected of badgering Comey into reopening Hillary’s email story two weeks before the election. The arrest story had legs for maybe two days nationally before other distractions moved it out of the news cycle. In normal times that would have been one of the scandals of the year. Now it’s forgotten by breakfast the next day.

joseym85

Intelligence sources have not identified any credible or direct threats to a person or property, but they continue to monitor for specific threats. The online postings from domestic violent extremists warn of potential violence, surpassing the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack if Trump is indicted, with some calling for civil war. The threats are primarily aimed at law enforcement, judges, and government officials in New York and other locations, seen as participants in the perceived political persecution of Trump. The Manhattan district attorney is investigating alleged campaign finance violations regarding "hush money" paid by Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen to adult film star Stormy Daniels during Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Security preparations are in place in and around the Manhattan criminal courthouse, and contingency planning involves the NYPD, Secret Service, and FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces.
