Lake just like tfg bitching about voting machines. We should help out our fellow man by getting rid
of their fears about using voting machines.

The Senate should pass "Honest Ballot Counting" legislation (paper ballots only) and send it to the House,
McCarthy and company will vote against it naturally and we can be asking voters how come the party
that complains about voting machines rigging elections wants to keep using these voting machines?
Don't you want fair and accurate elections?

We know reQublicOns always project their shortcomings onto us, they're rigging elections using the ES&S
machines while complaining about Dominion.

Proof would be when they argue to only get rid of the Dominion machines but not the ES&S.

3. Excellent points. TFG is still getting away with this craziness and attracting money and supporters

So now his equally dishonest allies are jumping on the same bus after witnessing what this insanity has done for him.

Of people leaving her so-called rally: did you notice how often they said they loved each other?

This is a very sick and lonely group of people.

4. That very well be the type of ill informed "supporter" this attracts, a wish to "belong" - anywhere.

6. Maybe it allows them to console themselves that "they're not alone"?

Is there a “misery loves company” dynamic at play here?

They get validation from that, perhaps? Especially when their own worldview does little else but alienate them from others around them?

Asking - for a friend.

8. That certainly sounds plausible.

There has to be a kind of desperation and an abandon of common sense for people to embrace this nonsense. Though I've watched so many of Jordan Klepper's "Daily Show" interviews with these RW zealots (posted a new one today) and they really seem to believe what would be unbelievable for the rest of us. Those who believe TFG is actually still POTUS, despite reality, could certainly believe that it's happening again...

7. Or maybe she was always like this, but had to stifle it

because she was a news anchor and knew she had to be (or APPEAR to be) objective?
