So is, like, 99% of what Trump supporters believe.
They live in a huge information bubble where truth simply doesn't exist.
You will know YouTube, and YouTube will set you free.-

My in-laws are so convinced that he did so much to help independent farmers. And I really don't have any specific information to show them evidence to the contrary. And they don't really have any proof the other way other than what FoxNews and their neighbors tell them. There's gotta be some truth in the middle there somewhere but I wouldn't know where to look. My subscriptions to National Review, the Atlantic, and Bloomberg cover everything across the spectrum...EXCEPT farming/ranching.
COOL is a weak point. Exploit it. -
Actions create reactions. Seems like a bad point in American history to stir the pot.

Saw similar situation heading out to the lease yesterday. Fewer Trumpy flags but lots of dipshittery.
Will these people ever hit a reality wall? -
Will no one think of Space Force?

Pollsters are asking the wrong questions. They should be asking about worldwide immigration and the loss of white-Christian rule in the United States. Do you believe in QAnon would also be a good guestion to determine Trump voters.

I absolutely LOVE how fucking nuts conservatives are acting now. It’s as if Biden is Karl Marx. Just amazing.
Also, been blocking people on LinkedIn. That place should not have any political posts, but is full of them.
“Biden is achieving a few victories for evil, but God will win the war.” How does a lifelong Christian make such a statement? -
Trying to fill my day with semi-meaningless chores to to unsuccessfully keep myself off of Surly.

Hey white people, it’s gonna be ok. Minorities in this country aren’t going to treat you like you treated them.
Maybe not if they are forced into armed insurrection.

So is far southern Collin Co., also with a diverse ethnic makeup.
White flight is now out to Fannin County. True story...one acquaintance lives in Fannin County with her elderly mother. Her mother received three ballots in the mail and the acquaintance posted her disgust on Facebook. Many jumped in with the liberal plot to commit election fraud. It was fun pointing out that the entire county government in Fannin County is Republican.

I don’t even know what to think of that. It’s a red county for sure, but 25% new voters? I’m assuming most of them are from out of state and quite possibly blue states. Could be good or bad tho.
Melissa is booming and its new residents are very diverse. -
Trump talking about people with low IQs. He is a fucking moron.

Wait, the schools in Texas don't usually close on election day to be polling places?
No. I used to cram 40 elementary band kids into a maintenance closet on Election Day because that was the only place to practice. -
Cast my vote at Melissa City Hall at 2 pm. Two voters in line ahead of me.

From tonight...
Fannin County officials are sending out multiple ballots by mail to help the Democrats steal the election.

They'll just revert a lot quicker to "just asking questions" to end the conversation. It's been a fairly consistent formula.
Step 1: plan on bringing up a topic out of the blue to someone that they clearly have been reading about the past day. They have all these talking points to bum rush someone with and that someone doesn't have actual facts on hand because they didn't know that friend/family member/coworker was going to be doing this today.
Step 2: simple logic would usually be enough of a rebuttal, but whatever they read or listened to already addressed the easy logical counterarguments and prepared them with a rebuttal to memorize.
Step 3: their victim is now irritated enough to go to a credible source to try to shut the conversation down so everyone can move on with their day. However, that source is "fake news" and not a credible source to them, even though it could even be a .gov website or the NIH or CDC, etc.
Step 4: their victim now pulls 5 to 10 more sources saying the same thing and asks the aggressor for their sources. Surprise, it's only one source and it's some far right or worse propaganda machine, it's their only source, and when you ask them for more...
Step 5: "I'm just asking questions." That's their parachute for when the jump out of a conversation. They are all out of the arguments and rebuttals that were prepared for them by their source. They did none of the leg work themselves, their education doesn't go much farther beyond that, and once that supply is exhausted they have to end the conversation as soon as possible to preserve what little false sense of superiority they feel they have left. Someone acting in good faith would actually visit some of the opposing sources to see if maybe they were in the wrong there, but instead they run back to the propaganda playbook to see where they went wrong and move on to the next opponent.
I do this dance about once a month with my mom and have recognized this pattern with friends who are also dealing with loved ones and friends who are deep in it. I don't think it will go away, but the source material will be less. I think we are still in for a tumultuous year 1 of Biden's presidency. What happened over the last 4 years isn't going away on 01/20/2021. It's going to have to burn itself out and there is going to be some lashing out, unfortunately. I think it will go the opposite of NO POLITICS for at least a year. Think of the screaming woman at the inauguration that was memed. We're going to get a lot of that in 2021 from the other side.
Just skip straight to step 4 when the conversation starts. That usually ends things. -

Shit.
Suppression efforts by the GOP make me more determined to vote. Hopefully others feel the same way.

Also, the Judge whose son was killed and husband injured in the shooting at her home, plus the two Deutsche bank "suicides."
I have always thought the Skripal poisoning was a warning.
