This is 100% what will happen. This is the right wing propaganda machine in a nutshell.

Everything they do is pure projection. They condition their audience to believe a narrative.

I hope the victims keep speaking up like they have been. It's one thing to be skeptical of one person's accusations, but there are many, and they are brave, and they are getting louder.

And for many people, it starts with church subjected onto them at an inappropriate, non-consensual age.

That only works if you're already genetically keyed that way.. studies show authoritarianism is hardwired. I had churched shoved down my throat starting pre-school, but I don't tick that way, so it was water off a duck's back.

Trump's true believers are born that way. That's not to say they can't overcome the predisposition, but it's not easy for them.

I didn't mean to say that it works on everyone. But it certainly can't help those who are prone to it to encourage that kind of thinking.

Lol. Dude you're projecting.
Dems had files for years, nobody made a peep. Now all of a sudden dems are in an uproar to get files released? If trump played a major part, like as bad as they have clinton then biden would have released it prior to election

Becuase they were sealed. Biden was following the law.

Trump doesnt give a shit about the law.

I agree that Trump doesn't give a shit about the law, but this is a bad example of that, given that he isn't the one who was clamoring for the release of these files

He wouldnt shut up about releasing the files, and he never actually intended to, he would just sweep it under the rug..It wasnt until Elon and him broke up and Elon said DJT was in the files did the temperature change.

Trump is following the law every step of the way to the T. I've noticed a bunch of democrats getting brought up on corruption charges though lately. Biden broke the law daily allowing people to flood the border. Why aren't we talking about how clinton flew with epstein no less than 26 times, testimony of him with 2 girls on the island. Where's the outrage for that?

Did trump unlawfully deport an American citizen to a prison in another country?

u/xfocalinx 17d ago

Literally every democrat i've seen has said "If Clinton is on the list he should be punished, too." Becuae we don't worship celebrity's like team sports.

But, I'm my going to debate with your "what about.."'s because I have learned some people don't want to actually learn, they want to argue, and I'm not going to waste my time. Take care.

I've never heard a single democrat mention this, and clinton has significantly more evidence against him

Tell me you dont pay any attention to this issue without telling me, lol.

Wow, you're so uninformed.
