I finally got around to reading Sam’s posts in the Texas National Guard thread in P&E. Holy shit he is coming unhinged. This is like split_pj level of crazy nonsense.
I have had issues with Sam in the past but this hardly seems like him. I mean, this is fucking crazy.
I don’t think it is more unhinged than usual. I do think it is more dangerous. Concern trolling about what’s best for Dems with advice that could literally tear the country apart if followed.
It should never be forgotten that at the root of conservative support for Israel is conservative Christianity’s ‘’‘support’‘’ for Israel.
And at the root of conservative Christianity’s ‘’‘support’‘’ for Israel is the position that Israel must exist so all the world’s Jews can return there and be judged by the Second Coming of Christ for their unconscionable sin of not accepting the changes the sequel to The Old Testament require.
In short, conservative support for Israel is, almost, entirely base on the Blood Libel.
(That being ‘The Jews killed Christ’.)
Tucker Carlson’s been in town to preach his gospel with his disciple Premier Danielle Smith at his side; maybe Sam’s still high from sniffing Tuckums’ farts.
Do read his ‘contributions’ in that thread, if you need a laugh (well, that’s what I did, but only after staring horrified at a constant litany of partisan lies, even after they were debunked).
A step in the right direction. I can’t evaluate if he’s becoming more unhinged, as he’s been on ignore for quite some time now (notwithstanding my joke about taking him off if he stopped bitching about being persecuted) - but the rare times I doubt for a moment that he’s a troll, I think he’s deeply troubled and so far gone into the RWNJ-sphere that it would be better for both him and us for a ban to come down.
But since I’m convinced he’s a troll 90+% of the time it’s infrequent.
Funny how the great libertarian Milei is looking to raise taxes, hand over power to private industries, give himself the ability to legislate without having to go through the pesky legislature for the next two years and criminalize gatherings of more than two people in a public place.
This isn’t a fringe view anymore in the right-wing world and hasn’t been for a while. The syllogism is:
Biden opens the borders and lets millions of illegal immigrants in.
Those illegal immigrants all vote (illegally) for Biden and other Democrats.
PROFIT Stolen election!
Never mind that none of those are happening or likely to happen. It’s what they tell themselves to gin up a moral panic about immigration and to explain to themselves why they lose elections.
