US Elections (& Politics) :)

Team Trump can't even gaslight very well

Truly amateur hour

Trump supporters (even fake ones like this broad) are not good at math and will believe anything

Sharon Simmons tells us that Trump's elimination of taxes on tips has changed her life: last year she received $11,000 in tips and says that savings has helped her cover her husband's cancer treatment, offset the drop in household income, and pay for trips to see her family. She loved the Oval Office and says Trump was really nice.

And for the slow learner cult members:
IF she made $11,000 in tips it had NOTHING to do with Trumps lame BBB tax bill.
She would have made the same $11,000 regardless (If she was real which she's not)

The new Senior deduction likely netted her $100 p /month
Hardly enough to pay for her husbands (supposed) cancer treatment let alone anything else :rofl::lmao:

But between tariff price increases (estimated at $2000 per houshold) and gas being up $1 p/gallon, she's likely BEHIND because of Trump

Welcome To The Theater Of The Absurd​



Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog,

The real world no longer matters, what matters is the performance on stage. Welcome to the Theater of the Absurd.

In the present era, all the world is a stage and everything is a performance on that stage: welcome to the Theater of the Absurd, a Hollywood set fabricated of cardboard and plaster made to look like gold leaf and marble columns, where the contraptions and ropes that do the magic are hidden behind purple velvet drapery.

Every detail has been designed to create the illusion of permanence and power to rivet our attention and distract us from noticing that behind this faux fabrication, the world is on fire.

Since the entire point of the theatrics is to cloak the decay of the status quo from serving shared interests to a craven scramble of self-enrichment, no expense is spared in the theatrics, for as the gulf between the reality of who's getting richer and who's losing ground and what the performers claim--this is the best of all possible worlds because of technology and Progress--widens, it becomes necessary to pour more resources into the performances, lest the losers catch on that the performance is the con that keeps the self-serving status quo from being revealed as an extractive, exploitive arrangement favoring the few.

As the audience is no longer entranced by mere performance, the theatrics must be ramped up to absurd heights. Leaders shout continually through the megaphone of social media, every pronouncement is exaggerated to self-parody, jokers prance around as Wall Street jugglers perform tricks, and faux trials run continuously in the background, exiling star performers as part of the enthralling theatrics.

The audience soon habituates to the exaggerations, and so the absurdity is notched higher. Every outrage is played out on stage, and soon the audience is no longer outraged by anything, for every aspect of the performance is now accepted as "normal." In this jaded state, the audience becomes restive and starts booing the performers.

The Theater of the Absurd resorts to throwing money into the audience, creating frenzies as all those losing ground stampede to collect the coins as their last best change of getting rich enough to avoid the fires burning behind the stage.

While the money is being thrown into the increasingly agitated mob, audience members are invited onto the stage to perform their own theatrics. This taste of fame is electrifying, and soon the stage is a seething mass of onlookers seeking their moment in the spotlight, leaders claiming divine inspiration, and a crush of jugglers, clowns, and jokers pressing forward and being pushed off stage in the melee.

Since the performance is now the key to the survival of the status quo arrangement, nobody's paying attention to the fires burning behind the stage set. The real world no longer matters, what matters is the performance on stage. Welcome to the Theater of the Absurd, where the performance is more real than the world burning behind the flimsy simulations and facsimiles of permanence and power.

We shouldn't be surprised.

No effing way a random doordasher gets access to the White House.

No effing way secret service would even allow an order like that to be placed.

There's a 25-30% core that will vote Republican if Lucifer himself is running or Trump twists heads off of kittens on live TV.

These are sad people with no moral compass, no thoughts of their own, they are clinging to a manufactured ideal they have heard since childhood.
They must have a "hero" to rally behind becasue they lack the courage to think for themselves and risk not being thought of as "tough guys" by their friends social circles. They are weak and lack maturity and forfeit their own ideals at the drop of a hat becasue they are afraid.
