      Lemmy: Fuck fascists. Violence against fascism is justified.

      Also Lemmy: The men who died fighting honest-to-god fascism while it was perpetrating the most systemic genocide in human history are idiots.

    “Unless you’re a psycho or a crazy person or a very stupid person, who would say that, anyway?” Trump said, referring to his alleged comments.

    Why, yes Donny. That is correct. Only a psycho or a crazy person or a very stupid person would say that. So glad we can finally agree on something.

    Kind of frustrating the article doesn’t link to any of the evidence Trump said these things.

      Pretty much all media are in on the great American scam to take this country away from us. But, they’ll be among the first to burn so I don’t get what their end game is.

        The irony is that the right is accelerating the demise of democracy by promoting the very hatred and bigotry the media and powers that be (Russia/China) want. It’s all just distraction away from the continued separation of wealth. But Republicans can’t seem to understand this.

        It’s not that the entire mainstream media is in on it, only the billionaires that own it. The editors and journalists go against their best interests because they have no one else who will pay them. The liberal press isn’t profitable, so the billionaires are trying to make them accomplices in their own destruction.

      The thing is, Trump fans are as immune to facts, even after being presented with them, as Rogan fans (of course, there’s a huge overlap between them). They could be given a time machine trip back to see Trump say it themselves and Trump would say, “fake news!” and they would believe him.

      No evidence in the world can convince you if you have faith.

        Trump fans are as immune to facts

        Because this brand of conservatism is not one of reason and logic, it’s not about policy and political action, it’s about emotion.

        The people attached to MAGA are the same people who were fanatical about Wrestlemania and didn’t care if it was real or not, because it was real to them and they wouldn’t take any criticism or people telling them it’s not real because it was all they had, it was their storyline, it was raw emotion and easy-to-follow narratives of good versus evil. Trumpers are in that same state of both knowing that they are just part of a fantasy, but also embracing that fantasy as a reality.

        We tend to develop very black-and-white views of the role of logic and reason in our world, but the brain doesn’t even work on logic and reason, it works by inventing a story to explain how you feel, it writes a narrative to explain your emotions or sensations and that narrative doesn’t even need to make sense, it just needs to connect, and you will embrace that narrative because it feels like it makes sense. This is how you have very book-smart people like doctors and nurses becoming anti-vax, conspiracy embracers, because they are humans and have emotional issues, and a brain that will write a story (or attach to a provided story) to explain those emotions.

        It’s not that they’re immune to facts, it’s that they’ll see the fact and just willingly lie because they think they have the overall high ground and believe they’re trolling right along trump to own you.

    Say what you want but his clear doesn’t give a fuck attitude that what he says in public and denying what he says in public is strong. Never knew someone’s gaslighting game is this strong
