Took a peek @ the freepers just before...

A great number of their posts there are quite unsettling;

Nooses and guns and summary executions in the Rose Garden and armed revolution if this impeachment process doesn't go in this trump's favor.

I can't fathom this level of ignorance belligerence and violence when this trump's attempted strong-arming and bribery and treason of a foreign head of state is RIGHT THERE IN BLACK AND WHITE.

THESE are our countrymen????

If they aren't Russian (or foreign) trolls, they are self-evidently too stupid to ever see reason.

Why on earth do people waste their precious lives trying to change the minds of people who are either barely sentient enough to breathe or who are being paid to piss people off?

And that was with all of the voter suppression and election shenanigans the Republicans could muster.

Yeah, there are a lot of dumb people in this country, but their opinions are magnified geometrically by Russian bots and trolls.

that it is not one presidential election, but fifty-one presidential elections, each one contributing a piece to the Electoral College.

Yes, there is a magnification effect, but in the end, it is individuals who go to the polls in each of those fifty-one contests.

So we're not that far apart in methodology, at least. It's important in times like these to focus on the commonalities.

Also, how's their hamster? I figured he went belly up keeping that place running years ago.

Their loyalty is to Trump, not country

They want a monarchy, and this is the closest they’ve gotten to having a king. They’re too stupid to think for themselves so they get their talking points from Rush and Fox News each day.

knew it would happen - I know a few (old) friends that love trump

They've always been the type to try to wind people up to get a rise out of them.
Trump was *perfect* for that - "owning" the libtards etc.
In the process of all that - it became their identity and club.

Now they might lose that, and even more - might have to watch their beloved little fascist / racist / etc be even more humiliated. They **hate*** the thought of it so they're doubling down in their little circle jerk groups to see who pounds their little puny chests the loudest.

They're the weakest little snowflakes of all.

that summer's round of mass murders are behind and that the FBI has caught more than several in the planning stages with much help from concerned citizens. A little dose of reality might quell many of the threats.

The only difference no one here pretends like they are the next generation of Minute Men just waiting to break out their AR-15.

I used to check it out more than I do now but the whole place is nothing but conspiracy theories. They bought the whole Q thing lock, stock and barrel. That’s when they are not talking end times religion bullshit.

Plus, they must run that dump on Winders 95. It’s like going back to 2002.

They are horrible people.

Russian bots and trolls make up a lot of their numbers. There are others who shitpost on social media from the protection of their mothers' basements.

There are probably 30% of actual American voters who support this ongoing decaying shitshow. The rest of actual American voters outnumber them by more than two to one.
