@Jingthing defending his crackpot conspiracy theory: https://youtu.be/ws-YEa9ykEs?t=63 Go to 00:01:04, if it doesn't do it automatically.

How so?

Actually, it's the exact opposite.

They need to recharge for a little bit because they were all, "Trump will lose, you guys suck, haha". Soon they'll be back, probably once a few pieces of fake news have dropped and they feel like they have the "I told you so" high ground again.

Exactly. 27 is in no way an age to start putting on weight or losing fitness. Literally peak age for fighters.

Never mind. Trump and Vance managed this just fine.

One of Harris' many errors. Saying that things were going to get better while forgetting she has been part of the problem for four years.

Biden's legacy is that he had dementia, lied about it, as did all the Dems, then finally got outed in a debate and had to step down from the presidential race, while keeping a very low profile for the rest of his term as president. Really embarrassing. At least most people are going to agree on this point. Harris did a terrible job. She was completely out of her depth and came across as unlikeable, fake, and incompetent. Thank goodness.

Very likely it's a case of cognitive dissonance: "Cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort that results from holding two conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes." https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-cognitive-dissonance-2795012 What I think is probably happening is that some individuals are finding it very hard to come to terms with the fact that more than half the voting public chose to elect Donald Trump. The reason this causes cognitive dissonance is the two conflicting beliefs their brains are struggling to cope with. Due to their strong disliking to Donald Trump, many people have constructed an imaginary image in their heads of who he is. This makes it easier to hate him and see him as the bad guy, without admitting that what they are doing is irrational. The knock-on effect from this imaginary image is that they had to create imaginary people to support Trump, the "MAGA, Nazi, racist, Fascists". Deep down, these people know that 73,500,000 people cannot all be "MAGA, Nazi, racist, Fascists", so the result of the election threatens to shatter the image these people have created that allowed them to hate Trump and Trump supporters so passionately. With this image shattered, what they are left with is the idea that it is actually them with the problem, and people find this hard to accept, leading to emotional distress.

Why do you want a pin with a lie on it? I thought the whole point was for people to know your political beliefs?

This is what normal people do. I think what Jingthing is actually doing is venting a little and trying to attack Trump voters. He can't bring himself to post "You guys are all XYZ", so he has to do it this way.

You said "we know", but you mean "I think". 🤦‍♂️ Yes. When you meet someone new, with a hateful sneer, say, "I'm from America, but I'm not one of those MAGA Nazi Fascist cult members". That way people will know exactly who you are.

You can't have any sort of debate with this guy. He's completely brainwashed.

Of course not. I'm talking about things that have happened. This isn't an opinion, it is fact. You cannot change the past. 🤷‍♂️ The good news is, you can change the future. Something for you to think about. 🤔

You try to associate maga with various things, but you don't do so successfully. Your claims are basically propaganda. The left appear to be the ones who are trying to bring back Stalin era politics. 🤷‍♂️

Well, I'm afraid you don't come across that way when you attempt to terminate discussions or deny simple facts because you don't like what is being said. 🤷‍♂️ You sound more like someone who is putting Stalinist propaganda practices into play.

I'm not lying at all. You regularly do things like denying the meanings of words, or pretending valid points are "right-wing talking points", all to try to stifle open debate on topics that go against your ideology. I don't need to lie. You do and are.

Pro free speech but constantly try to silence people... 🙄

Trump will very likely do a great job, then Vance will run for president in 2028, and probably win. Things are really looking up!

Are those the same ones that said Biden was in tip-top condition???

Like when poisonous frogs decided to make themselves bright colours so everyone knows not to eat them.

The guy's on holiday. Probably just woke up late, had something to pep him up, before reading a simple speech from a script.

Nice. If only the never-Trumpers would listen to Obama.

The left is insane. You cannot reason with them because they live in a world of lies. How can normal people approach any sort of reconciliation with a group who wants to pretend they are fascists, racists, etc.? Best thing to do is to ignore the left-wing nutjobs and get on with making the country, possibly the world, a better place. People like @Jingthing don't want things to get better under Trump. They will be distraught if Trump improves things, and will be actively working to stop Trump making the US a better place. How can you cooperate with people like that?

I would hazard a guess that he wasn't corruptible, so he had to go. 😓
