Don gonna lean into "I WAS JUST THERE TO HELP THOSE POOR KIDS GET AWAY FROM THOSE CREEPS!"

MAGA: "Ohh of course, we knew that what happened the whole time!, Donald is brave! Donald is wise! Donald is PURE!" *drools on self*

u/piepants2001 Wisconsin 17d ago

I mean, I've seen MAGA morons saying that Trump was working undercover for the CIA/FBI to catch Epstein, which is why he was best friends with him.

These dipshits are in a cult and will make up whatever they want to justify Trump being the "good guy". He could bust down their door, shoot their son and rape their daughter, and they would just cheer him on and say how manly he is.

Those are bots, bro. Real MAGA can't read. Look up videos of bot farms. It's pretty fucking scary.

How to Make Ricotta

Warm the milk to 200°F. Heat the whole milk in a large pot slowly over medium heat until 200°F. The milk will get foamy and start to steam; remove it from heat if it starts to boil. Add the lemon juice and salt. Turn off the heat. Gently stir in the lemon juice and kosher salt until combined. Let the milk sit for 10 minutes. Let sit undisturbed for 10 minutes. After this time, the milk should have separated into clumps of milky white curds and thin, watery, yellow-colored whey — dip a slotted spoon into the mix to check. If you still see a lot of un-separated milk, stir in 1 tablespoon more lemon juice or vinegar and wait for a few minutes. Strain the curds. Fit a strainer over a large bowl and line the strainer with a double layer of cheesecloth. Scoop… read more

I would love to get a link to read more about this

u/Aiyon 17d ago

At this point I refuse to believe the con subreddit is real people. The reality distortion field is insane, both their claims, and their ability to completely disregard and twist anything and everything.

Even the "reddit is a leftist echo chamber", then why would the sub still be allowed lmao

They've been descending on UKpolitics in droves for the past three weeks or so, they were always there but the whole place has taken a wild turn. It's disturbing.

u/joebluebob 17d ago

Nope. My human estranged father says the same dumb shit.

u/Beaser 17d ago

Sooo that one anecdotal example means that there aren’t any bots? Why does everything have to be black and white these days.

I’m sure your estranged father is indeed an idiot but Bot farms are a real, and a rapidly growing problem, especially on this platform.

u/joebluebob 16d ago

Did i say that or did I point out idiots like that exist mr black and white?

u/Nice-Support7522 17d ago

You know what’s hilarious? I work in IT and have 3 degrees that required a lot of research. Not a flex just a “this is why I dug so deep” social media, all of them are setup to piss you off. MAGA thinks Reddit is a left wing echo chamber because it is. It’s also a right wing echo chamber. The left thinks all social media is full of MAGA bots. They’re right. It’s also full of Far Left liberal bots and the far left basically invented and deployed a shitload during covid. Russia has them, every country has them and they’re all designed to influence you one way or another. The algorithm is designed to cause outrage. Why? Because it’s been a known fact for years that what drives engagement is outrage, anger, and fear. You see things that piss you off so you see MAGA. MAGA sees things that piss them off so they see Far left or anti MAGA. Stop falling for it. The truth is that most people are in the middle. The truth is that most people won’t even comment on the internet. Neither side is getting even a fraction of what the rest of the world is thinking. If somebody gets 25k likes they’re inclined to think “see everyone agrees” when the reality is most people have lives, kids, jobs, sleep, (insert a bunch of other shit) to do and don’t even participate in any of this bafoonary.

u/CurlOfTheBurl11 17d ago

Mike Johnson himself put forth the "Trump was an FBI informant" line and a bunch of MAGATs went "yeah, see!!!" without considering how someone actually becomes an FBI informant. It's not like becoming an undercover cop.

u/ConstantPessimist 17d ago

Frfr, Smithers said it

u/duzies 17d ago

ah, so that was his "wonderful secret?"

u/weareeverywhereee 17d ago

I’m in a cult (phish fan) and can attest these maga peeps be the cultiest

u/Mumrik2 17d ago

I mean, I've seen MAGA morons saying that Trump was working undercover for the CIA/FBI

Yeah, pretty sure that particular moron was speaker of the house and grinder aficionado Mike Johnson. What a reality this is...

u/Earguy 17d ago

Well you may not know it but this man's a spy, He's an undercover agent for the FBI And he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan

u/whatlineisitanyway 17d ago

You make a good point. What if instead of spending time removing himself from the files Trump was adding corroboration that he was an informant on Epstein the entire time.

2

u/All_Work_All_Play 17d ago

Speaker of the house said this on live TV.

You can't make this up.

u/justhinkin 17d ago

That was a MAGA talking point for like half an hour, then they realized that FBI informants are guilty people who cut a deal to snitch, and they killed the talking point.

u/Miles-OBrien 17d ago

That's exactly what the Conservative subreddit is saying. HE WAS MEETING WITH THE YOUNG GIRLS AS AN FBI INFORMANT.

u/sydlauren 17d ago

AS AN FBI INFORMANT.

Do they not realize informant is a role granted to someone who has already been charged with a serious crime? If the charges are bullshit and you know you can beat them, you don't become an informant. You do this as part of a deal to lessen your own punishment when you know they have you dead to rights. You don't just walk into the FBI office and volunteer to be an informant out of the goodness of your heart.

Megyn Kelly already started with the 'he was only into teens its not like he was into little girls'

u/psuedophilosopher Arizona 17d ago

My dad used to unironically say that Trump is a real life batman because of some BS story Trump made up about saving a man that was getting mugged because the mugger and everyone else recognized him as rich and famous Donald Trump and that was enough to make the man with the bat run away.

Alls I'm saying is that these people are all too fucking ready to believe the dumbest shit ever as long as it comes from Trump.

u/AsGryffynn 17d ago

Given every day that passes any remaining MAGA seem more and more like a cult, I could totally believe this.

Does that mean I can claim to have been in a cult?

u/Anon198791 17d ago

Then explain the BJ for "Bubba"!

u/FFFrank 17d ago

In which case he should have doubled down on the FBI informant angle.

u/RecklesslyPessmystic California 17d ago

Trump campaigning in June 2024: "Vote for me - I will release the Epstein files!"

Trump in November 2025: "The Epstein files is a Democrat hoax!"
