After Trump's NFT and silly sneakers, this just seems par for the course.

And it's also a famously common mistake. WWI initially had a bunch of countries happily go to a quick and decisive little war.

"Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"

Russia: "Give me your bigots, your religious fundamentalists / Your brainwashed masses yearning to hate free"

ublock origin is so based, the dev doesn't even accept donations. He wants people to donate to the chads maintaining the lists his add-on uses instead.

Sabotaged the Paris peace talks that traitor, self-serving bastard.

Anti-intellectualism leads to people following charismatic, self-confident narcissists (a.k.a. confidence artists).

They don't turn into criminals, they attract.

No more drugs for that man.

Those poor oppressed white Christian men.

Anyway, let's ignore the ultra-rich grabbing a bigger and bigger share of the pie.

"It's an oppressive authoritarian regime but it's not 'woke'" seems to be good enough for them.

So much for their claims of wanting "liberty".

They can all go and make their own new Russian town. They could call it Jonesgrad or perhaps Jonestown to keep it closer to their American roots.

Don't forget to pack up some FlavorAid for those scorching Russian summers.

No better: to the cost of living index. That way if they pump prices up like they have in the last few years, they choke themselves with their own rope.

And JD Vance in your couch.

Because this is the Internet, a link is always appreciated: https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-secret-ap3-militia-american-patriots-three-percent.

I'm all for electric cars but a giant, shiny, electric-powered, fussy truck would be my last pick in an emergency.

It's not so bad... for the super-rich and powerful who can afford to buy protection or simply jet off to a peaceful place while cheering for whatever side they favor.

Remember this guy was born in a white-minority-ruled country. Comfy in his luxury gated community while paid tugs would break the heads of the blacks who would dare poke out of their "townships" (shanty towns) to ask for fair treatment.

With the Supreme Court in his pocket, laws are more like guidelines anyway.

Or he'll probably be able to find a few MAGA-friendly generals (shudders) and start a nice little coup/civil war taking the US well into the banana republic territory and ask any opposition to this move to stop him: "you and what army?".

But things are looking good for him to lose badly (please vote sensible Americans) before drifting away as he keeps losing his mind. Some MAGA idiots will probably try something extremely dumb but hopefully too disorganized and half-hearted to lead to anything serious except getting arrested/shot by law enforcement.

Yeah, I've had a sad laugh about all this stupid alt-right knee-jerk reaction. Algeria, bastion of "wokeness".

How out of touch are these people?

So many options!

Listen-in and cause confusion. So many possible hijinks.

So many patches needed to make it palatable.
