The bogey-man called 'globalization' did not steal jobs from the US; it merely sent them to a way station with the next stop oblivion.

The Wisconsin Republicans cut a deal with the Chinese to bring a massive factory there, most of which has now been sitting there for years as empty lots and incomplete structures. The US continues to hold some nice cards in these kinds of deals being the largest consumer of cheap Chinese stuff, so I have no idea why this could've fallen through. We gave them incentives, tax breaks, and they just took it and ran. A big part of why, I believe, that state turned blue.

 

Anyway, QAnon. This stuff's ridiculous. Wacky conspiracy nonsense, from mentally unstable people up on the Internet all night. Remember "PizzaGate"? I won't bother to revisit it, look it up if you don't know. But it's the same thing. All night armchair detectives looking for secret symbols, code words, putting together secret messages, from random Internet posts and supposed evidence. Hah! So much so that PizzaGate culminated with an armed young man storming the supposed headquarters of this thing, nearly killing himself and several others, over a complete fantasy that had gotten out of hand, which he had convinced himself was real. QAnon is the same thing, and they ended up storming the Capitol.

 

"Trust the plan"? My god. If only this kind of energy could be channeled into something productive.

Actually, your suspicion that the project was reduced in size because the Republican governor lost the election is pretty wacky, too. The company, Foxconn, has a record of overpromising. And, by the way, it's Taiwanese.

Trump would hardly allow common people, whom he despises, to sit at his feet. Now, if they want to tithe then that's OK if they keep their distance. If they don't then they are just so much alligator chow. 

As would have been predicted by Leon Festinger, the deluded have found ways to keep on believing:

QAnon believers seek to adapt their extremist ideology for a new era: ‘Things have just started’

I'm not sure there's a way back for people who actually bought into the alternate reality, over the top, barking at the moon QAnon insanity.

At least not without professional help and strong medication.

Well, only a month ago, my father (who lives with me) offered a bet of any money that Trump would still be in power for at least the next 4 years.

Instead, I offered to watch all his BS youtube Qanon vids if he wins his argument.

But, if Biden gets inaugaurated, I would stop internet access to his TV and he would have to apogise to everyone who he has tried to "convert".

 

He readily agreed.

 

Of course, he never kept to his side of the bet.

 

But I have removed internet access from the TV, and he now refuses to any programs available at all, citing it's all fake news.

 

I'm living with a Zombie!  There's no help for him, as far as I can see.

What is frightening us the high number of people concerned, in particular among Republicans. Whatever the conspiracy theory concerned, there is always between 40% and 60% of them who believe any nonsense theory: 56% about pizzagate (2016), 55% about creationism, 55% about election fraud claim, 51% about birtherism (2017) and 37% about Qanon.

I read that many (most?) of the flat earthers are also QAnon believers.  I know I know, I was totally shocked when I read that as well.

They pretend they are real news except when they make someone do something really bad and get sued for it.  Then their defense is that they are an entertainment program, not real news.  The same defense Alex Jones tried and lost when he had to pay a bunch of money out to Sandy Hook victims.

 

The American way to deal with this would be to make it much easier for people to sue these fake new programs.

A disgusting individual.  Telling lies, spewing fake news and misinformation, just for financial gain.  A horrible individual that should be taken off the air.  Sad you fall for his lies.

Say it ain't so!

Now Even the QAnon Shaman Disowns Trump: I Was Duped

The legal representative of Jacob Chansley—better known as the “QAnon Shaman,” who burst into the U.S. Capitol wearing furs and Viking horns—has said his client feels cheated by Trump. Referring to his client as “the guy with the horns and the fur,” attorney Al Watkins told the St. Louis NBC News affiliate KSDK: “[Chansley] regrets very, very much having not just been duped by the president, but by being in a position where he allowed that duping to put him in a position to make decisions he should not have made.”

He should have stuck to the insanity defense. An 11th hour conversion is unlikely to be believed, while just showing a picture of his get up would convince a jury of his peers that he's batshoot crazy.

There is no flat, only limits on the precision of measurement from the exact center of the Earth. Yes, I'm a pedantic.

 

OTOH, I'm starting to wonder if maybe the earth isn't flat, because 45 seems to have fallen off it Wednesday afternoon.

Quite nice not hearing from the liar.  Things sure have calmed down.
