I assume they just drink whatever slop they are told, but are they any that actually use their brains?

The QAA podcast follows what's left of these people and they don't appear to be very happy with how things are playing out currently, but it appears their anger is directed more toward Patel and Bondi than Trump.

Of course it's the fault of the people under the white guy responsible for it not the white guy covering it!

I have a big Trumper friend and he is admitting that conservatives were probably conned by Trump. I thought I'd never hear him say it and just assumed they would all be stupid as shit until death. I mean, they already voted to destroy everything but better late than never I guess?

The fact that it took a second administration to figure this out is absolutely baffling to me.

First one had a pandemic, so it doesn't count! He should have a chance to kill everyone all by himself!

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Conservatives are not the fast brains they think they are.

"He was actually an FBI informant against Epstein" seems to be the trajectory, per the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Michael "My Son Monitors My Porn Consumption Via a Special App" Johnson. The fact that it came from him and not some mushroom-infested 4channer makes it sound believable (if you're already poised to believe such horseshit, that is).

“He was actually an FBI informant against Epstein” and that's why he's not prosecuting despite all the evidence he helped gather. Makes perfect MAGA sense. 🙃

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 34 points 2 weeks ago

It's just another liberal hoax.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago

QAnon is just the government now. Look at what they're saying

Who would have thought that these anti-intellectual ivermectin-chugging undiagnosed brain trusts would crap out before tHeStOrM or whatever the fuck they’ve been screeching about for seven/eight years.

Pretty sure most of them ate it during the covid.

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

It's a split but largely they think there must be some big reason he hasn't done it yet and it will happen eventually. Some have gotten pissed off and think Trump is no longer the Messiah but that's a minority

[–] frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

A lot of them still think it's a hoax/slander

[–] danciestlobster@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 weeks ago

I was told in an online forum discussing it that he isn't releasing the files because he learned that Dems altered/forged the files to make trump look bad and the Dems look great

Truth means nothing to these people

[–] jasoman@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

No, there is not.

[–] shplane@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

The latest I saw was that he was an FBI informant and that’s why he had a “friendship” with Epstein. They will believe ANYTHING.

[–] TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think Banon said something about the Epstein Files but I’m not sure if it was against or for the release.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

Banon will say whatever upsets the most people

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

No, they just drink slop pretty much
