Wait… wasn't there a huge invasion of South American immigrants about to hit our border in 2020? What ever happened to them? And what about the roving bands of Antifa attacking small towns?

These fucking idiots believe whatever the fuck is fed to them. They don't remember all the times that info was wrong and realign. That's why they're dangerous: they aren't operating on even the appearance of facts.

They have the memories of goldfish. Remember Jade Helm, where supposedly Democrats were going to put Republicans in Walmarts converted into concentration camps? When that didn't happen, did all those MAGA idiots who believed it say, "huh. Maybe I should rethink things?" No, they just forgot it was even a thing they said was going to happen within a day or two.

I saw a cop bodycam video with someone who was talking about (jade jelm) that during the time it was supposedly happening / about to happen. Absolutely stunning.

The guy who chased an officer in the Capitol on J6 (Douglas Jensen) reportedly kept asking FBI agents if they knew who Q was or if they were in on the op. I think he was confused why they weren't a part of it or some such drivel. These people mostly have the lowest media literacy and ability to work through logic. They are 100% id-driven. The small amount that think rationally run the grift at the top, such as Bannon and that ilk.

I didn't know anything about JH until sometime last year. Here's from Wikipedia:

Jim Shea of the Hartford Courant wrote that the conspiracy theories included: a "psychological operation aimed at getting people used to seeing military forces on the streets" so that they do not realize when an invasion actually takes place; an international operation aimed to seize people's guns; recently closed Walmarts used by the military to "stockpile supplies for Chinese troops who will be arriving to disarm Americans"; and a military plan to "round up political dissidents" and "remove key political figures" who may be against the imposition of martial law.[17] Other theories have described Jade Helm 15 as a "secret plot" to impose martial law, confiscate firearms, invade Texas, and institute "total population control."[18]

Seriously, who the fuck can believe this stupid shit? We're gonna have a foreign power come take your guns? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

Conservatives have only enough thought to register emotions. No ability to question a narrative.

Invade Texas... Lol they wish. What a victim complex these assholes have

[-] mipadaitu@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

I guy I worked with says he stayed up all night holding a loaded AR when "BLM protesters were going to break into houses in small towns across America" and then said it was a good thing he did it... after absolutely nothing happened... anywhere...

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I am so confused about these people sometimes. It's like how they simultaneously say that the January 6th insurrectionists were all secretly Antifa but also they're Trump-loving patriots who are being treated unfairly by the courts.

It's like they didn't expect any of these losers to actually get off their asses and see for themselves that it's bullshit. Whoops.

Not that it matters for the rest of them. They're too far gone.

The most connected period in human history also produces the dumbest humans, apparently.

Now if they could just take this lesson and apply it to the rest of the 'information' that is supplied by the media environment they have immersed themselves in.

[-] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

These people are going to go home and be proud of how they defended the border and tell everyone about it.

"Immigrants stopped coming because we were there! See?! It works!"

meanwhile, I ran into some moron from another country trying to tell me, an American, about how 26 US state governors have stood against the government and are "amassing troops at the texan border."

Fucking hilarious if it weren't so fucking sad and dangerous.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

But, of course, it won't occur to them that this is because their Republican masters are lying to them.

[-] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

At this point they'd rather forsake god as a socialist than believe the Nazi...ahem...”Republican” party can do wrong.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Oh they already do.

In before the Christians come to tell everyone that those aren't real Christians.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I'm surprised that hasn't happened yet, to be honest.

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 10 months ago

I remember when debate was getting started about the ACA (Obamacare). I was debating it with my friends older brother. He is the kind of Catholic that will shame you for not going to church.

So he's ranting about the merits of universal healthcare and I asked him what Jesus would do. Let's just say he didn't like that. He later blocked me on social media and it was the last discussion we ever had.

What a happy ending. Some people are really cynical about the Internet these days but it's things like your comment that give me hope.

MAGA convoy confused by red laser pointer

I'm surprised any of them even made it to Texas, considering how hard they descended into paranoia and fear.

Oh, hell yeah. I’m gonna do use this wherever I can now.

The last time they tried a Civil war they failed, and destroyed their own economies in the process. That time, they had some of the best generals available. This time they have Boebert and Trump to lead them,

In a way they did... just a very unnecessary, expensive, personal data collection method.

They probably also believe that the earth is flat. Or that an exiled Nigerian prince wants to bequeath them billions in exchange for helping him smuggle his inheritance out of the country.
