Supposedly gun experts don't think the rifle used matches the shot by any means. I've heard it from a few places as an egregious discrepancy, and the theory ultimately points to everyone's favorite country which he was beginning to turn against.

Nothing surprises me anymore in this fucked up timeline so tbh I didn't research it myself

Agreed, thank you. If someone's reaction to this was any different I can only assume they either didn't watch it or are just inflammatory bots.

If right-minded people spew misinformation they destroy their own cause

I think that's what the last section of the post was referencing

In the analogy, your comment is part of the cacophony that doesn't allow for change to take place.

"you are three days away from the best economy of your life". That's the ice cream.

Maybe you were too busy hearing the other driver talk about the cliff. Until we realize that those "other" voters are just as duped as we are, nothing will change.

If you're a real person, and not a bot, you need to get used to the idea that your ✨ favorite ✨ political party doesn't give a fuck about you or making your life better. Neither does the other party. You cannot 'vote out' a corrupt system of two colluding political parties.

Well it's an analogy so let's get more precise.

You don't vote for a destination, you vote for a bus driver. Your two and only two choices are both telling you they'll take you to the ice cream parlor while claiming the other driver will drive you off a cliff. Meanwhile, you see the bus passing multiple opportunities to stop at several different ice cream shops, doughnut shops, etc.

Then you find out that the company running the bus gets paid for every mile driven. And that every bus driver you've seen has been skimming the bus fare money.

Your shouts of protest against the bus chartering company are drowned out by all the other passengers trying to decide which of the two drivers would take the bus to the ice cream parlor vs the cliff.

The government in general is crumbling and it's corrupt "leaders" will need to ramp up authoritarianism as the constituents begin to question it's legitimacy.

They'll make use of dissenters by putting them in work camps, easing the need for cheap labor, and allowing the remaining population a chance at hiding from their duty to protect constitutional rights by continuing to provide material comforts.

Like how bills that goes away our rights tend to have names that sound like they expand them

Gates does own 80 percent of US farmland, for anyone interested

Mmm yes. This is why I Lemmy. This article had so many bots praising him on Reddit. Refreshing to hear something other than boot licking

What comes next? Deporting citizens who are just criminals?

Trump didn’t shy away: “I’m all for it,” he said.

“If they’re criminals and if they hit people with baseball bats over the head that happen to be 90 years old and if, uh, if they rape 87-year-old women in Brooklyn, yeah, yeah, that includes them,” he added.

“They’re as bad as anybody that comes in. We have bad ones, too.”

I just read that the Indian government told it's citizens to leave Pakistan if they're there. Isn't India a close partner to China? Would India see this in a negative light?
