    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.

        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…

          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.

          Sounds a bit like my dog. When she sees another dog being walked past the house, she makes an alarm bark to let me know there is an invader coming. Then , due solely to her alarm (and not at all because they’re just on a walk), the interloper moved along, and called off their imminent invasion. “See”, my dog barks at me. “You’re lucky I’m here to protect you from that bitch…”

      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.

      They are walking here. Imagine for a second that you had to walk to the store…be honest, we’re Americans, it would take years. You would probably never make it back home if it was winter, at night or full summer. It’s a trek. Now imagine walking from guatemala (prenounced watemalla). They are coming 😁. And when they get here, they’re going to dangerously tired. So dangerous in fact that we just gotta send people there… To help.
