The key to understanding conspiracy morons is that everything in the world revolves around them. Movie they don't like? Woke agenda targeting them. Red light? Plot against them. Major software bug occurs? Plot against the politician they worship.

Ehh... it's more like Trump called up someone and said "maybe it was an attack on me" and they repeated it like a good pet.

For as stupid as trump is, he knows you can just bribe or threaten some people into doing what benefits you. Top "conspiracy theorists" are probably very cheap to bribe.

Jesus christ the republican base is all just sandwich filling.

That is to say: they’re in bread

I think Biden could possibly be a white hat hacker.

Will those same people blame Biden being incompetent for the outage when a bit more time has passed?

It should be noted that these people are multiple world champions at mental gymnastics.

LOL, you say that as if they can't do both simultaneously!

Some people don't deserve to be in the internet. Underage kids should be in a different one, and so do stupid ignorant people. Imagine how clean it would feel that way? Fuck

Also homophobics. Alan Turing, the father of computation, was gay and killed for being gay by republicans in Europe. He gave us pretty much everything we have right now, for homophobics to use them to spread their pathetic weakness.

Because of course they do 🙄

Yes, perfectly logical

[–] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

To be fair, he looked like a wax statue at the RNC ad well.
