    This has “Obama is going to send all conservatives to FEMA camps” vibes. Like you guys are just as crazy as the QNuts at this point.

    And since I have to say this, yes I voted for Harris.

      I get why you are saying this, and it is definitely possible that all will be fine. However, what distinguishes the all will be fine crowd from the alarmists, is that the alarmists take what Trump said in his rallies literally, whereas the calmer crowd doesn’t. That’s COMPLETELY different from QAnon, which has never relied on direct quotes from elected Democratic to make their point.

        Yes I want to emphasize the right’s concerns were based on vibes with no evidence. Our concerns are based on literal evidence that happened in the past.

      I’m sure that the guy who convinced a fuck ton of people - including elected and appointed officials - that an election was “stolen” from him, and fomented an actual violent coup attempt, and who has openly mused about using the Insurrection Act to put US military boots on US soil to enact his policies, and who is now president elect, with full control of all three branches of government, would never think of mashing those two together and “postponing” the midterm elections because “even the US military is unable to keep these elections from being stolen.”

      Wow, I sure was being crazy, I feel so much better now.

      Did Obama stand in front of supporters and TV cameras and say all the conservatives will end up in camps?

      Because I’ve definitely seen Trump stand in front of supporters and TV cameras and say this is the last time we’ll need to vote.

      I’m sure members of the Weimar Republic thought this too.

      When a fascist tells you something, BELIEVE THEM.
