It must make a lot of people feel like idiots for caring about liberties when most people, even politicians, couldn’t really give a shit. Carry on not giving a shit.
Without popular consensus you aren’t going to achieve anything politically. You need the crowd to give a shit. When it doesn’t you might as well quit.
And you can’t attain popular consensus without the backing of the media. For too long conservatives ignored the importance of taking control of the media in favor of boomerwaffen YouTubers and anonymous message boards who tell them “the storm is coming”. You reap what you sow.
Is something just not working out for you? Voter turnout is bad because no one liked your candidate and the only press about him is negative and one-sided? That’s okay, just blame the company that makes the voting machines. That way you don’t have to admit what your problems are.

“We need to talk about Call of Duty: Cold War’s conspiracy theories and its uncomfortable relationship with QAnon in the Age of Trump.”
“What Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies Easter eggs tell us about the QAnon drops, and how Alternate Reality Games caused Trump’s Capitol insurrection.”
“GamerGate and the rise of the disillusioned involuntarily celibate straight white males who committed domestic terrorism at the US Capitol.”

What a great endorsement.
You can buy Andy Ngo's book here, since they don't want you to read it. amzn.to/3bFNlyU

The NCRI has released its assessment of the Capitol riot and named the extremist organizations responsible for the violence. ncri-context.us/home ImageImageImage
It’s the Network Contagion Research Institute at Rutgers, for the uninitiated.
Don’t know why Trump supporters are mad at these findings. It clears Trump supporters of the violence and identifies those committing the violence as extremists and neo-Nazis

Lin Wood released a “drop” of screenshots of like five emails from Pence to Paul Ryan claiming to be staging a coup but the email addresses are all free ones anyone can make, with just the dates changed. I could’ve whipped it up in five minutes. Surely he can’t be this gullible.
I wonder how much fun 4chan is having with Wood and his followers by continuously feeding them “drops.”
Hahaha it gets even better. Lin Wood is spreading satirical emails created for a parody site similar to The Onion and BabylonBee and telling his followers that it’s real evidence of collusion between Pence and Paul Ryan to take out Trump. newsweek.com/qanon-mike-pen…

Apparently the Kekistan meme lives on in 2020.
See if you can identify the YouTubers in this picture.
Sigh. Sigh.

Prove me wrong. I’m listening. I don’t see how he can find a way out of this. They certified the election for Biden.
I’m not happy about it. I’m stating facts as they are. If you have new information, provide it to me. Don’t tell me to “trust the plan” or feed me hopium.
