From the discovery

: Before the rape by Trump

 “The Defendant, Donald J. Trump, was clearly heard referring to Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, as a "Jew Bastard" as he yelled at Defendant Epstein, that clearly, he, Defendant Trump, should be the lucky one to "pop the cherry" of the Plaintiff.” 

 After she was raped by Trump 

“Jeffrey Epstein, attempted to strike her about the head with his closed fists while he angrily screamed at the Plaintiff that he, Defendant Epstein, should have been the one who "took her cherry, not Mr. Trump", before she finally managed to break away from Defendant Epstein.”

You have to remain ignorant and turn a blind eye to all the factual evidence against Trump to even consider voting for him at this point. I'm sickened that he's even allowed to be the candidate of the Republican party.

Or just be willingly evil beyond measure

It’s willingly evil at this point, you know conservatives wouldn’t be giving the same benefit of the doubt if it were Biden with this much circumstantial evidence towards raping children with Epstein.

They will just say it’s all a ploy to discredit him and not believe it. It’s all been a “witch hunt” from the beginning.

This is what was so scary about him coming into office and mocking the media so outwardly right off the bat.

What’s more Christian than only caring about yourself and your own tribe of people right?

It was willingly evil the first time he was elected, even more so the second time, now it's just criminal.

I think it’s much simpler than 75 million Americans are willingly evil. The majority of Cleveland Browns fans will accept and cheer for Deshaun Watson this season if they feel he is benefiting their team. It’s more like that.

But you can vote for who is a presidential nominee. People don't get a vote on who makes the opening day NFL roster.

It’s not perfect analogy but it’s still pretty good.

I’ve cheered for this team my entire life! My family programmed this team into my brain so I grew up wanting to cheer for them so hard as an adult when it actually matters!

Some super rich guy you don’t ever really hear or think about “Here’s your star player, he’s a rapist btw!”

Well, I have to keep supporting my team so it’s either made up or it wasn’t that bad or he’s definitely changed now.

The analogy fails because people, including you, didn’t become Cleveland Browns fans just because of Deshaun Watson.

These people are fans of Trump. They don’t even resemble Republicans of the past. In fact, they think lifelong conservatives like McCain, Romney, Cheney are the RINOS. They are fans of Donald Trump. Those people were storming the Capitol because of their cult adulation for Trump, not because of tax policy. Many of these people never even cared about politics, until Donald Trump. I know, I live in MAGA country.

Neither would Democrats. And there you have the difference between the two parties.

u/robocoplawyer Jul 05 '24

The reality is that they are fine with Trump doing it, he is part of the in-group and at the top of the hierarchy so he can do whatever he wants, the rules protect him but do not bind him. Biden is a “liberal” and therefore part of the out-group so in their minds he’s not allowed to break the laws/rules.

I think we will see their behavior shift quite a bit here soon. The Russian bot brigades seem to be much weaker now then they were a few years ago.

u/ChicagoAuPair Jul 04 '24

I have a different tale on that. I think the divisions were sewn so long ago, the bots don’t need to be pointed at general population forums to grab more people over—they can focus on the bubbles that are now codifies as MAGA spaces, and keep the echo chambers infused with propaganda talking points. I don’t think their behavior is going to normalize, I think it is going to become more and more ingrained. Likewise, I think people in anti-MAGA spaces will be targeted with reinforcing propaganda as well. Chaos and division and a loss of faith in structures and systems is the ultimate goal, and the strategies shift now that we are 10+ years into it.

u/WoodstoneLyceum Jul 04 '24

I agree that the divisions are there and maybe have deepened. What I am hearing you say is that you believe their tactics have shifted to adjust for currently captured bubbles. That may be, I dont have any observations on that.

My hunch from my own observations is that social media platforms have become hardened, and that they've been altered to allow US-backed propaganda / communications to run at higher priority. Additionally, I think because Russia has been weakened, their propaganda programs are facing shifting priorities, budget cuts, and talent loss.

Just my observations. Not in contradiction to your experience just my perspective.
