Armed, masked, violent in public, and yanking people out of their cars. Seems like a carjacking to me.

Why do the evil people always point at someone else and say the evil is over there?

psychological projection and/or political expediency

Actually that’s not my question, my question is why do people fall for it when they do this?

A subset of the population wants to fall for it. There was a recent essay (can’t find it now) that described public repetition of the dear leader’s bullshit as a way to demonstrate membership in the tribe. A political altar call, if you will. In this scenario the more outrageous the statement the better it functions to show group loyalty. “I am willing to say this galactically stupid and trivially disprovable stuff in public so I must be a true believer, right? Right?”

At first glance I parsed this as United States will finally sink Florida

I miss newsgroups. They still exist but it’s basically a wasteland.

To be fair, I would absolutely dish out for a pay-for-view to see Patel take a savage beating from an MMA fighter.

Indeed. It’s hard to rent a wood chipper at 3am, or so I’ve been told.

cattus battus blepius

I mean, it looks like an attempted carjacking to me. I don’t blame anyone for driving off from someone waving a gun around

is that all-caps moron still jabbering?

my community is where experts send guides or ways to fix issues

Not yet it isn’t. I could make a community called /c/sendme1milliondollars but that doesn’t mean people would actually send money.

“Now I’m not telling” GTFO

Exactly. People should provide incitement upon request. I mean, there is no truth to the nasty rumors about political prosecution by the DOJ.

Nationwide martial law in the US has never been and will never be a thing.

Of course not. It’s only for blue areas.

Can I get an instruction manual… Noting a distinct lack of instructions here

Your instructions: keep your head down stay out of the way if SHTF.

Other possibilities to lure them away:

• free Punisher stickers
• free “you’re fucked” AR engraving

Cf. Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez:

Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping account of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, showing how American evangelicals have worked for decades to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism, or in the words of one modern chaplain, with “a spiritual badass.”

how do you do that ??

with optics and awareness of backstop

they like the treading that’s being done to others

If you interfere you have a good chance at being murdered on the spot

Abduction interference may be applied from some distance.

My approach to eating watermelon is similarly greedy.

I mean, potato cannons already existed. Get those artillery tables out and fire up the compressor.
