They're genuinely scared they will end up on some list, and Trump or others will take their revenge. Because it's been done so much on the left, the return volley is now scary to them.
Since they truly believe Trump is Hitler, they're expecting camps. So, they are deliberately keeping their mouths shut until "freedom reigns".
The others are trying to conspiracy theory the idea it was fake, or act like it never happened.
I am having so much fun calling them conspiracy theorists and telling them, loudly, to stop listening to fake news. "Even CNN says the assassination attempt was real. Why aren't you wearing your tinfoil hat, bro?"
They know I'm calling them retarded, in a very pointed way. These are people who've said the same shit to me, in the past, so I'd like to think it stings a bit extra.
You're giving the very generous assumption that they even realize the point you are making. That requires a level if self awareness most of them do not possess.
I think they do. They don't even bother talking about politics anymore, and just drop the subject, whenever I am within earshot. And then having public conversations, with people who know, we tend to be very vocal and jovial, much to their chagrin. Just... good times. I know they seethe in private. The though of which makes me giggle.
The lesbian in my class who never shuts up was 'upset' and quiet to start the week, and is now. "I don't like to talk about politics" and just sits quietly while working on her work.
Its nice that class this week was laser focused on classwork and not constant sidetrack discussions that are hard for me to unpiece and put the actual class stuff back together with my adhd.
Sometimes you write things not for the benefit of the person it is addressed to but for all others who read it.
fair
The day after the assassination attempt, one "friend" said in Discord (blech) "you know, that looked staged."
I said "don't you dare even start." I was basically feigning outrage that someone could suggest a retarded conspiracy theory. Then this other guy who is always the contrarian fucker in that channel said "Why shouldn't we leave that door open? We don't know anything yet."
I wanted to reach across the Internet and grab his shoulders and shake that fucker and tell him "What the HELL is wrong with you?"
I posted mainstream sources that they use that they know I hate using confirming it was a bona fide assassination attempt.
I know WHY they wanted to think it's staged or a conspiracy by Trump to do it. It's because it is their way with coping with the fact that everything they advocated for and thought of was wrong. It is their way of repeatedly denying that they themselves are the bad guys. "it was staged/a cover up" is absolutely fucking unhinged denial that right now the left lost any mandate of morality in the US.
Stings even more for them because they are wrong and they know it. All the times they shit on you they knew they were wrong and that they were gaslighting you. Imagine knowing deep down that you are and always have been completely full of shit and that all your ideologies are based on falsehoods and hyperbolic lies.
Devils gonna have to go back to preaching tolerance again
They know that everything they have done up to this point warrants the exact response they fear. A never ending attack eventually justifies retaliation.
Yeah? That sounds suspiciously like a threat. Tell me more baby..what are you going to do to the big bad leftists?
Fuck off back to wherever you come from handshake.
Very Jewish of them.
