Pepperidge farm remembers. The crowd that was all about “back(ing) the blue” managed to kill a police officer and four of themselves.

Give them a break

Are you really expecting all the people posting this stuff to pay for the flight from Russia?

Plural.

They are absolutely delusional. I went to the cesspool that is /r/conservative, hoping, PRAYING for people to respond like normal human beings on reading news like that.

Nope.

None of this.

Complete delusion, with select quotes:

“He still has my vote”

“Liars! Liars on the witness stand. This poor man does not deserve this”

Americans are a different breed altogether.

They don't even realize that that's not how appeals work. It's not just "the appellate court says acquittal," there needs to A) have been a failure in the legal process which B) would have been impactful on the jury's verdict during the first trial for an appeal to be successful. Appellate courts only address the legal process. An appellate court would only get into addressing the facts of the case if there was an absolutely glaring smoking gun to point to some evidence or testimony having been false.

You know, like Allen Weisselberg does when he testifies.

Even if an appellate court was to side with Trump's appeal, that just means it goes back to the lower court to be tried again, unless the DA goes "yeah, forget it."

My favorite is the ones crying about how America has fallen into nazism because... Trump got convicted of a crime with overwhelming evidence of it.

And its especially funny considering how down with nazism they have been until its conversationally convenient to suddenly cry about the evil nazi persecution.

At least he can only appeal all the at to the State Supreme Court so the fedsoc six can't fuck with it.

Those are mostly bots or paid Russian actors

They move the goalpost at every turn.

I remember when they said he'd win big in 2020. I remember when they said he wouldn't be indicted. Next it's some other silly line in the sand. They're not exactly great prognosticators.

They call it a sham but I ask, where is the proof? There is, of course, zero.

Voters? Never.

Supporters who organize to commit acts of terror like shutting down local libraries via threats of violence? Now. We should be doing that now.

I didn't fight shit heads in Iraq just to have more shit heads do it here.

Didn't they march inside some important government building and try to overthrow an election at some point?

I guarantee the crime rate of maga is greater than the undocumented immigrant population. We already know undocumented immigrants commit less crime than native-born Americans as a whole.

You don't expect the cops to lock themselves up,do you?

40/60, but you better be so white that even Casper the friendly ghost calls you a cracker, and you have sworn eternal ~~entity~~ enmity towards the sun

Umm, I hate this comment because it’s basically assuming there will be some kind of armed conflict between normal people. I don’t think it’s necessarily going to happen, and we shouldn’t stoke the flames for it. What’s better than saying inane comments like “get a gun” is to reduce voter apathy and hopelessness, educate people on their voting choices, and get them registered to vote.

Social media has a tendency to heighten emotions, and there are many, many state actors who abuse that fact. I squarely lay any blame for Rittenhouse, Charlottesville car ramming victim, and Jan 6th on social media spread disinformation and incitement. Don’t believe everything you read about “supporters of [insert ideological enemy]”.

That said, access to guns is a right for Americans and there’s nothing wrong with knowing self defense. But know that proper gun training and discipline is not scaling with gun ownership. So people are basically creating unsafe environments and situations for their families and others. Don’t do this, don’t be stupid. If you get a gun for any reason (sports or defense), learn safety!

Overall, it’s important to get more progressives in congress and other places of power and authority. Not advocate for armed conflict
