    “The communist states are getting earthquakes. Look at California. You can’t have more earthquakes than California. You want to figure out why?”

    Californian here, the answer is “plate tectonics”, and “fault lines”.

      It means any place where total oligarchy is resisted in any way whatsoever.

      It sounds like a stupid comment to rally the hogs, but in reality these types of things are a mask-off moment.

      “We hate it when people attempt to better their lives because it threatens our wealth”

      EDIT: I mean yes, it’s all those other things too. America’s Mayor would, be definition, have to be a dumbass bootlicking yes man who swindles for votes AND also be a fascist culture-warring capital defender.

    Yeah, and witches cursed my pants to not fit anymore. NOT all the non-stop sitting and snacking. Definitely witches.

        I really just wonder how easy it would be, psychologically, to start a Red-Blooded for Jesus organization, rake in profits under a non-profit tag, then “have to close because of the economy” and retire.

          I’m on board. We make some up some bs but close enough Biblical quotes and bad AI images, put them on t-shirts and flags, charge too much. Couple that with a poorly produced podcast. Tell them that we “support” (in really vague terms) a variety of groups (that we have made up) and infer that monthly subscriptions will help stop communism and wokeness - again couched in vague terms.

          Of course, it’s a for-profit corporation. Jesus specifically said that getting a high ROI is divine.

      Depends on which tier of republican you’re referring to. People like Trump and Giuliani are defective in the sense that they’ll happily lie through their teeth for personal gain without that pesky conscience getting in the way.

      The voting base is defective in that they have no critical thinking skills to see through these obvious lies.

    Maybe the home of Wall Street, the world’s largest market, isn’t Communist.

    Look at California. You can’t have more earthquakes than California. You want to figure out why?"

    I think they’re called fault lines. This is on the level of “tides go in, tides go out, you can’t explain that!” Followed by an “are you fucking kidding?” face

      There was a Republican politician that said something along the lines that God was punishing states because they allowed gays. And then his state got hammered in the ass by another storm.

      He didn’t walk back his statement.

      These people just want to blame everything bad on their enemies.

    Well by this logic, hurricanes and tornadoes must be targeting republican states. What’s the message being sent there? 🤔 At least you can somewhat design and build architecture against earthquakes…

    If these dudes are going full clown mode, then the media should stop reporting on them. There’s no value in anything they say. These aren’t alternative viewpoints, this is just babbling in an attempt to be relevant.
