I appreciate that and trying to understand what MAGA people are thinking is a big reason why I come to PPP. I believe they genuinely believe things like him caring about working class Americans. It’s an interesting study in cognitive dissonance. MAGA = juche

I hope to God you’re not a real doctor

Thankfully, 81 million Americans recognized the truth and ended Trump’s disastrous term. Now we just gotta work hard and keep that idiot out of the White House again

There’s someone near my neighborhood in Chicago that has a Cybertruck and every time I see it, I do a double take. Ridiculous vehicle.

Man, you’re really drinking the juche, huh?

Yikes!

Very odd that the hurricane machine only seems to work during hurricane season

Well, since he decided to wake up at 5:30 again, I suppose I have some time to answer this. (Seriously, this routine is getting a bit old. I’d like to be able to sleep in until at least 6…) It’s mostly the internet, especially social media. When people see something that confirms their priors, they reflexively want to believe it. There’s no need to investigate further if it feels right. When I see them post stuff that looks really bad for the Dems, I don’t want to believe it, but the Dems are not perfect or universally good, so it could be true. So I often look into it to see if it’s actually true. With the stuff on PPP, it is rarely actually true. Which is why I’ve been dropping a lot of their debunked lies in the “Is Biden Dead?” thread. Also, I think a big part of it is that the world is complicated. Instead of recognizing that it is chaotic and uncaring, it’s comforting to believe someone is in charge, even if they are someone you oppose. It gives an explanation as to why things are the way they are, why maybe you’re not as successful as you thought you’d be, and it can give you purpose: you’re the rebel fighting against the evil empire. The real truth: that there’s no “them” or (((them))) or uniparty pulling the strings behind the scenes means that there is no greater purpose they are fighting for / against. That their life is the way that it is because of luck and their own actions. That’s a scary thought to some.

Around 5:30am. The little one is having a bit of sleep regression.

74 million Americans voted for him in 2020 during some of the worst parts of the pandemic he was bungling. Even though Biden crushed Trump in the popular vote, he only won by about 43,000 votes across three states in the electoral college. That’s about 0.03% of all votes cast. Trump is more popular now than he was then. This is a coin flip race.

Oh look, NC Republicans think the MAGA posters on PPP are a big problem:

"Everything I don't like is fake news!" -MAGA

Biden's not dead, he's just been traveling back in time 40 years to start allowing murderers into the country bit by bit so that there will be 13,000 in the country by the end of his first term.

Weird that the video cuts out in the middle of a sentence. Would be a little embarrassing for you if the next words out of his mouth were "an immediately almost, they added an additional 30 counties" and then go on to explain that he expects the numbers to go up as FEMA gets more data...

Biden's not dead, he's just been looking for the ABC whistleblower who doesn't know what company they work for so he can run them over with his car again. He's hoping they'll stay dead this time.

Has anyone here pointed out that the data for the claim at the top of this thread was based on was collected over 40 years? "A DHS spokesman told NBC News in a statement: "The data in this letter is being misinterpreted. The data goes back decades; it includes people who entered the country over the past 40 year or more, the vast majority of whose custody determination was made long before this administration. It also includes many who are under the jurisdiction or currently incarcerated by federal, state or local law enforcement partners." That means, on average, 325 per year. Also, for 90% of the time covered by the data, the president was not Joe Biden. So it's clearly wrong to claim that Kamala Harris let in "13,000 Illegal Alien MURDERERS". Given MAGA's continued protestations that they are indeed the truth tellers, I am sure they'll walk this all back in short order...

This defines basically the entire MAGA movement at this point

Oh! I know the answer for two of those off the top of my head: Fox News was created because Roger Ailes thought it was bad that Richard Nixon resigned and wanted to make sure that never happened to a Republican president again. The Epoch Times was created as part of the Falun Gong religious movement that also puts on those Shen Yun dance performances. The rest? Probably as conservative politics moved father and farther from reality, coverage from traditional media outlets appeared more critical, creating a market for outlets to reinforce those conservative beliefs that diverge from reality.

You guys are going to be absolutely gobsmacked when you hear about Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, The Epoch Times, Washington Examiner, NY Post, National Review, Daily Wire, Daily Caller, Twitter, and the Federalist.

Just checking in: any update from the whistleblower who didn’t know what company they actually worked for and then died in a car crash but then didn’t die in a car crash?

Take it up with the OP
