Damn-dewey - Just Some Fuckery

“Right now, the only thing keeping Truth Social afloat is the 600,000 small MAGA investors who have put money into the stock, most when it first came out and was trading over $70 a share. Most of them have hung onto the stock, certain that their hero, the brilliant businessman Trump, is going to turn it around any day. Trump has invested no money in this. So, in the end, the only people who are going to walk away broke will be the people who trusted him and believed in him. Trump will cash out when he can and leave them holding a penny stock. And he couldn’t care less. They are just more suckers and losers who trusted Trump.”

Trump Media Loses $16 Million in Q2

I love this for them.

*snort*

“The Army issued an extremely rare rebuke of the Trump campaign on Thursday, saying that it was warned not to turn a visit to Arlington National Cemetery into a political event. But he did. As with so much that Donald Trump touches, the event immediately became extremely political, in wanton violation of both unspoken norms and the law.”

Army: Thousands of Events Are Held at Arlington. Only Trump Caused an Incident.

Deplorable. Just deplorable.

Two days ago my husband said "...and he was pissed" and I said "don't say that around the kids!" so he corrected himself to "and he was liquid angry" and I've been laughing since

Since the ratfucking has quintupled since the debate last week, here's a reminder that comments like this only exist to depress voter turnout.

these are all comments on the post I just reblogged. from within the last month.

Not every comment like this is part of an astroturfing psyop (and I'm not saying that the people in the screenshots are part of an astroturfing psyop), but we need to remember that the whole point of the astroturfing psyop is to flood your feed with certain ideas or claims in order to make it seem like a lot of people are talking about this so it must be serious and also true!

The thing is, it doesn't matter whether it's an outright lie, a half-truth, or even actually true. Because the goal isn't just to make you believe the lies. The goal is to make you proliferate them. To distort the truth just enough. To use empathy, outrage, fear, and (most importantly) urgency to convince a few regular people like me and you to believe This Thing is important enough to repeat.

And it only takes a few. Because once the idea is coming from someone you know and trust --your friends, your family, yourself-- it becomes the truth.

If the people I trust believe it, that must mean it's true.

If it's true, why is no one talking about it?

If no one's talking about it, they must not know about it.

If they don't know about it, I have to tell them.

If they don't believe me, I have to convince them.

If I can't convince them, I have to shame them.

You are not immune to becoming propaganda.

I like this idea. A LOT. It won’t, of course, be passed and signed into law until after MAGA loses power in Washington (and that day is coming), but when it is signed into law, what a glorious day for America!
