Grondoth posted:I don't see how this ends in anything other than a fracture in the GOP or a re-alignment into an authoritarian party. There's nothing these people can do and the rest of the world wants to move on, but they're entrenched in this narrative and will brook no other outcome than a second term for Trump. Which isn't going to happen. And when it doesn't happen, the people in the party who were telling them it wouldn't happen are going to be attacked. I'm not confident enough to bet on much of anything these days but I will bet that a GOP fracture absolutely will not happen any time soon. The one and only thing that has kept them alive for the past few decades is that the 60+ million person hate group that is the GOP all hate the same people, worship power, and will absolutely maintain solidarity with each other in order to facilitate that hatred. Either drenb is nominated again in 2024 or, more likely, they will all fall in line behind Lucid Competent Nazi 2024 (Tom Cotton, was it?) and things are really going to get bad. Non-Republicans all have pesky "principles" and poo poo and expect the people they support to act in service of said principles.

Grondoth posted:I look at it like this: The sitting president of the united states, days after the election, claimed it was fraudulent and called his supporters to gather at the capital. It was a hyped up event that the conservative propaganda machine pushed for a week, and it was about the most dire thing that could ever happen in this country: an election being stolen.

Nocheez posted:Modest Needs is a great organization that can always use more help: These guys look like they loving suck tbh "Here at Modest Needs(R) (yes they put a registered trademark sign on it) we only help the deserving (working) poor. If you're undeserving poor then gently caress you, you don't deserve to not die of exposure to the elements" is the message I get from their website. If somebody can recommend some decent food banks or homeless shelters that aren't just a junk mail blasting shitlib grift that maybe also helps a few homeless people on the side then I'd be down to kick some cash their way.

LifeSunDeath posted:that all this poo poo, and covid, is all a massive problem because one rich nazi just wanted to get more rich, and everyone else lined up to make his lie reality...like I never had faith in humanity, but this is making me feel...rage...maybe? Dunno it's something like rage mixed with apathy and also a little something more spicy. Most countries are getting the living poo poo kicked out of them by COVID. Most of them aren't making hundreds of thousands of people homeless in the process, admittedly, but the US death toll per capita isn't really an outlier as far as I'm aware. That's not to say that right wing shitbaggery doesn't play a big part in that, but the aforementioned shitbaggery isn't limited to the US unfortunately.

LifeSunDeath posted:Right but they have anointed her as such, and it drives their trad wives nuts. It's a love/hate thing for them, hence Bobert trying to make it hate/hate. There are maybe one or two right wingers that feel this way but broadly speaking this has no basis in reality. Right wingers see AOC the same way they see anybody who isn't a straight white guy: stupid and subhuman. This whole idea that right wingers are secretly attracted to her and/or want to be dommed by her is some really weird and frankly gross left-wing fanfiction, and said fanfic writers should maybe stop being "ironically" weird and gross about it.

The X-man cometh posted:Or by spending 10% of what people donated to Amy Mcgrath and actually showing up for multiple campaigns (see Georgia) Oh man, you posting that reminded me of that time when the DNC threw a tantrum and sued to overturn the results of that primary election because the voters narrowly voted for the guy who would actually represent their interests instead of the DNC's pet right wing whackjob who would make sure that the grift train stayed on the rails? Also that time they threw a tantrum over the primary voters of Queens voting for the wrong DA (the one that wasn't up to her eyeballs with the city's real estate interests). Good times man, good times. Real class act, those Democrats.

My friend, unlike the Hollywood movie you are so fond of there is no left-wing paramilitary going around murdering right-wing paramilitaries, in no small part due to 40 years of the federal government demonstrating what they are capable of when they actually want to supress a political movement using every tool at their disposal. Also I don't think a civil war would be a good thing. This is just an extremely lib-brained take all around.

Blueshirt posted:Having spent more time than is probably healthy lurking in very right wing Discords, the main unifying factor of racist conspiracy theorising loons is that they feel dissatisfied and isolated and aren't sure why. Most of the ones I spoke to were lower middle class, reasonably well educated, generally a bit disgruntled that they paid a lot for an education and now earn less than a good tradesman. Almost all of them worked remote, abstract jobs, where they were divorced from the fruits of their labour. They weren't the manly man who built the roads and cleared the culverts, they were the salesman who billed for his services or the admin who ordered him his concrete. Almost all of them have dull, materially comfortable lives and a sense that Something Was Coming. For all the preaching of "old school based community values" none of them volunteered, or went to church, or really knew their neighbours. Everybody pined to be the solo tacticool operator in a pitched battle with The Liberal Commie Mixed Race Horde, nobody wanted to be teh dude who befriended their neighbours and organised a Neighbourhood Watch. It was by and large isolated, angsty dudes, who talked a lot about blood and ropes and curbstomps, paedo cabals and big tech encroachment but never did anything about it and instead sat and pissed and moaned about everything, effortlessly hamstrung by 0 hours contracts and social media addiction. Their idea of WHITE RESISTANCE is poo poo like not wearing a mask to Kroger's and giving the cashier a hard stare, or taking 2.5% off the tip because their server had a nose ring. By and large everyone was sitting on their hands, waiting for the one melodramatic external moment that'd sweep them into a life of sturm and drang. Interesting. (legitimately. not trying to make a sick burn or anything)

SpaceGoatFarts posted:I have been reading conspiracy boards for 20 years (also more than what's healthy) and there has been a clear change of tone in recent years. At first it was mostly about aliens and bigfoots and freemasons and rapture and occasionally a bit of anti big banks sprinkled with antisemitism. People were mostly anti government in general, saying the left/right paradigm was bullshit to promote a corporate agenda, and that they all had yearly pagan fun together in Bohemian Grove.

The Australian conspiracy that is News Corporation and its associated properties has a lot more explanatory power than some all-powerful Russian conspiracy, but that's a lot more mundane and boring. I bring it up because of the earlier question about equivalent non-right-wing conspiracy circles, and because I'm tired of all the reflexive shitlib "How's the weather in Moscow this time of year?" takes any time somebody dares criticize one of their favorite grifters.
