    I can’t wait til they notice things really took a nosedive when he announced his VP pick. I’m willing to bet that sooner or later, they will demand he dump Vance.

      And that’s when you take them to court because it’s too late in the election cycle, they’ve already printed out the ballots, blah blah blah.

      They would have to then lose Ohio’s votes for VP because the Ohio filing deadline has already passed (Aug 7th) and they didn’t change things before it

      Ohio’s deadline is the reason why the democratic party had their virtual rollcall thing recently

        Except they did push the deadline forward, but did not make the law to do that effective until September, or something like that. I’m convinced they did that on purpose, so they can accommodate a late Republican change but still have reason to complain about a late Democratic one.

      Are the Trumpets going to try to hang another of Trump’s VPs? That was a record turn around time.

    I like their energy…

    “I can clearly see that [the Trump 2024 campaign is FAILING! We want to see changes! We want the energy, passion, and future-facing vision that we know Donald Trump for. Stop the autopilot into oblivion and fight for us!"

    Trouble is that it’s sleepy Don that’s lacking the energy and the passion.Sad!

    “This is NOT a purity spiral”

    That’s just what a purity spiral would say

    Right, because that’s exactly what people who are not in a purity spiral say.

        Basically, it’s a term used for infighting in a group/cult stemming from one or more members being pointed to as straying from the original cause. It often happens when one group sees another group within the same crowd as not pure enough. The first sign of this in this particular context was when Maga started referring to many supportive Republicans as Rinos.

          The term “RINO” is much older than MAGA. I remember hearing about them in the 1980s and 90s, and even then it wasn’t like it was a new concept.

          Happened to my grand parents’ church in the 90s. They had this big disagreement over rocks (not joking) and then the infighting tore the church apart. Half of the group left and built their own building across the street and the other half stayed. Neither church ever really recovered from that.

              There was a children’s summer program where they painted crosses on rocks and other symbols of faith, like the Jesus fish. They were having the kids hold them in their pockets and hold them while they prayed, like a daily reminder kind of thing but also an arts and crafts idea.

              Well, one elder got super pissy about the idea their grandkids were “praying to idols” and got a bunch of parents all hot and bothered. After a bit of handwringing, the church asked the teacher to either step down or leave the church. That triggered the other half of parents who either 1) didn’t see the whole ordeal as such a big problem or 2) liked the teacher and their family. Chaos spiraled from there… all over painted rocks.

              Edit: this happened in rural Texas, there wasn’t much going on down there so I’m convinced people did this kind of thing for the mere sport of it.

                Amazing that arguments like this were tearing European cities and nations apart 500 years ago. At least this time no one was willing to die for their cause. But you can see how quickly it spirals out of hand.

          Yeah no it was clear from context, just never before publicized to any degree, and a weird term to begin with.

    They are calling them globalists with global interests, but trump own real estate all over the world, and his family controls trademarks in a number of countries including the people’s republic of China.

      Well that’s okay because they’re not Jews. Except Jared who is still okay somehow.

      But technically I don’t think they do own real estate all over the world, it’s just that they license the very lucrative trump brand to other chumps all over the world. Because nothing matters and what if it did.

        I feel dirty for going to his website, but I’m not buying anything and hopefully just taking up traffic. They are least appear to claim his organization owns hotels, golf courses, and residential properties in many countries. He may not own 100 percent of his organization, and they may not actually own those properties they list. He still has an interest in many nations and they are claiming that’s why they want those guys out. I know they don’t really mean what they say. They really mean jews. If we did take them literally though he’s more internationally invested than anyone I know personally.

    I wouldn’t get too excited, it’s a bunch of fringe edgelords on a platform no one uses. Hoping it spreads and they start to fracture, but groypers are a pretty fridge edge of the maga movement.

      It’s pretty much that. When you pair all these supposed militias against each other, it’s mostly “Diesel vs Solar” in how they power their shitty camps. They’ll kill each other before any rational American who didn’t agree with them.
