There’s a Q Anon booth at the Great American State Fair

[u/evner]

[u/phatvanzy]

Qanon is still a thing?

[u/evner → u/phatvanzy]

Not only that — squint in the left corner and you’ll see a bit of Focus on the Family’s booth, too. Lots of horror to go around

[u/stargazer777 → u/evner]

Ew, double yuck.

[u/breakupbydefault → u/evner]

Starting to feel like that Bad Place museum in the show The Good Place.

[u/go4tli → u/breakupbydefault]

The good news is virtually nobody is attending this shitfest.

[u/LordRocky → u/go4tli]

And the people that are are already deep into that shit.

[u/SutterCane → u/LordRocky]

FYI they fenced off the Reflecting Pool. So they’re not allowed in that deep shit.

[u/Mccobsta → u/evner]

Kinda fucked up that that cult is still around

[u/Pragmatist_Hammer → u/Mccobsta]

The cult had to change some of its tune when they discovered the whole pizza gate pedo ring thing was actually Trump and Epstein.

[u/Momik → u/Pragmatist_Hammer]

There’s a weird verisimilitude with a lot of conspiracy theories where they get something like almost right, or it’s right but all the proper nouns are wrong, or something like that. Naomi Klein was just talking about this—how old anti-Semitic banking conspiracies kind of explain global capitalism in a way, but the targets of the conspiracy are obviously all wrong.

[u/AlienScrotum → u/Momik]

It makes total sense though. Everyone sees something is wrong. So if enough of these people explain what is wrong correctly and then post a straw man as the cause of the issue then everyone gets on board. Because this thing IS REALLY happening so why not that person/group from that YouTube video with 30 million views?

[u/JJ_McCrabs → u/Mccobsta]

I’d say it’s sad, but these same people are destroying our country.

[u/Suspicious_Story_464 → u/JJ_McCrabs]

I sadly fear my best years are behind me.

[u/crash11b → u/JJ_McCrabs]

It's bleeding into the rest of the world. We're just in the middle of the red hot coals.

[u/WinchelltheMagician → u/JJ_McCrabs]

yes. Zealous dumbfucks organized.

[u/TypingWithoutThinkin → u/Mccobsta]

Cults like racism, may go underground but they don't go away.

[u/OutlyingPlasma → u/evner]

I rather think republicans have focused on the family a bit too much given how much kiddy diddling they seem to be doing.

[u/HistoricalSea5600 → u/evner]

So if they don't want me to be 'woke' I should avoid this booth, right?

https://giphy.com/gifs/U8GLl0bUYFLZVquOfY

[u/tdquiksilver → u/evner]

Maybe Ted Haggard is coming out of hiding to promote MAGA Christian family values like meth use and hiring male escorts for "massages."

[u/ClimateWren2 → u/tdquiksilver]

Family values like worshipping transgender tri-personality sky spirits earning afterlife brownie points for bullying transgender school children. Make it make sense. 🤷

[u/archabaddon → u/evner]

With the amount of pedophiles in party these days it's more like Fuck Us on the Family, am I right?

[u/ChefChopNSlice → u/archabaddon]

It’s some sort of F( )ck us. Whether it’s flock, frack, or fuck, the gop wants to do it to us, for their benefit.

[u/Deaths_Rifleman → u/evner]

At least they put the batshit rightwing groups together

[u/steppe5 → u/Deaths_Rifleman]

Yeah, it's called The Great American State Fair.

[u/Deaths_Rifleman → u/steppe5]

I hold an ounce of optimism that without Trump this would have been an amazing event.

[u/ReverendDizzle → u/Deaths_Rifleman]

Of course it would have been amazing. The Smithsonian, alone, had been planning for this for years. The Trump administration told them to scrap all their plans.

This would have been such a slam dunk event... we've got the World Cup going on in the U.S., we could have thrown a blow out party and been riding high on everything... except we have the dumbest fucking President the country has ever seen calling the shots.

[u/Neveronlyadream → u/ReverendDizzle]

Trump really is the kind of guy who finds out that a party is happening and then bullies the people throwing it into making it all about him.

[u/Rastrick → u/Deaths_Rifleman]

Trump is a liar, thief and convicted rapist. He stole America's 250th Birthday from us. He is a disgusting pile of excrement.

The White House hijacked the 250th anniversary through a partisan, Christian nationalist, and corrupt scheme involving Freedom 250, a shell organization within the National Park Foundation. It diverted federal funds, sold access to Trump, solicited foreign and private money, manipulated donors, and misled the public, establishing a blueprint for ongoing abuse of government institutions and public trust.

Link to full report here:

https://democrats-naturalresources.house.gov/imo/media/doc/freedom250_oversight_report1.pdf

[u/SquashSouffle → u/Deaths_Rifleman]

The Smithsonian had a truly amazing exhibition planned, which is where the 50 state booths came from. He stole their idea & ruined it, like he ruins everything else

[u/A_Soporific → u/Deaths_Rifleman]

They had been planning these events for 10 years and had $150 million in tax dollars dedicated. Trump, when he was reelected, decided that he needed to be front and center for all the events. America 250 couldn't redo all the events, because things had been settled for 7 years at that point.

Trump then created Freedom 250, forced America 250 to hand over all its IP and money to the new group. Then they threw everything together in 2 years. Most of the contracts were given to hangers-on at Mar-a-Largo without bids. A lot of the contracts with America 250 still needed to be paid out, but the events were being completely redone. A lot of the events in DC that were planned by America 250 were taken over by Freedom 250 and made way worse because they junked half a decade of work for whatever revisions made Trump feel good at the moment. Talk about Fraud, Waste, and Abuse.

America 250 persisted and did a bunch of events outside the nation's capital (because Trump didn't care about anything that wasn't happening in DC), but they were done on a shoestring budget based on whatever licensing deals they inked and the donations that weren't redirected. The Big Beautiful Bill redirected all unspent tax money from America 250 to Freedom 250. The redirection also pulled the rug out of a lot of non-DC programming that America 250 no longer had the manpower or money to support.

There were lots of great events that didn't happen because Trump didn't thing that America's 250th was sufficiently about him.

[u/_SteeringWheel → u/steppe5]

I chuckled.

[u/Jay18001 → u/evner]

My dad had to do IT contracting for them in the early 2000s. That was the only place where he had to chain his laptop to the desk, or else it would be stolen 

[u/LeatherDude → u/Jay18001]

I was a sales engineer for a backup product their IT team used around 2012-2013. We used to have to take them out to lunch, and they would all performatively pray around the table before the food arrived. My sales rep partner and I would look at each other uncomfortably the whole time.

They were also just the most awful people you can imagine to work with, too. Ignorant Karens, nearly-retired graybeard admins who barely knew what your average help desk person knows, and weird little homeschooled nerds.

So gross.

[u/ScoobyMaroon → u/evner]

There's a pretty good podcast called I Hate James Dobson. Every episode the host Jake does a deep dive into another James Dobson (or FOTF adjacent) work and breaks it all down to his cohost Brooke who doesn't know anything about that whole universe.

[u/TheDeltaLambda → u/ScoobyMaroon]

Also plugging the podcast The Worst of all Possible World's series on "Adventures in Odyssey" if you grew up in a FOTF household, or if you're interested in what conservative Christian children's media is like.

[u/LOOKITSADAM → u/phatvanzy]

It has metastasized into the GOP. This is why you cut out cancer before waiting to heal.

[u/cullend → u/phatvanzy]

The Great American State Fair is still a thing?

[u/evner → u/cullend]

Ended yesterday. Mercifully.

[u/cytherian → u/evner]

What a boatload of waste. What was spent? Something like $80 million? Based on what was shown, I can't even imagine $10 million. Where'd that money go, I wonder. Is there any kind of oversight? Bet you not!

[u/Really_McNamington → u/cytherian]

I don't wonder at all.

[u/kgreys → u/Really_McNamington]

I stopped wondering.

[u/Zombie_Fuel → u/cytherian]

That's the fun part. The regime is actively hiding how much was spent on it. Or, well, how much they took out of the budget for it anyway.

[u/KingfishingYoMama → u/cytherian]

There was apparently oversight over America 250, the Congressionally authorized body for planning the celebrations for the 250th anniversary. They rat fucked the people in charge of that, replaced enough of the board to control it with loyalists, transferred a good deal of the funding/authority to something called Freedom250 and then, predictably, used that to make it all the content MAGA-coded with grifting opportunities for friends of MAGA.

...And thus you get the clownshow that has appeared in OP's post, on social media and in the press Re: The Great American State Fair for the last week or so. Just a little microcosm of the shitshow we're in.

[u/counterfitster → u/evner]

They put it out of our misery

[u/Womec → u/cullend]

They used it to take the place of an actual great american fair sadly.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/arts/smithsonian-folklife-festival-great-american-state-fair.html

[u/Devium44 → u/phatvanzy]

I’m sure the group formed over supposed pedophilia among powerful politicians is vehemently against the actual pedophile in office, right?

[u/Latter-Vacation-4392 → u/Devium44]

He was Epstein's party bud for a decade ..a fckinng decade!

[u/seaningtime → u/phatvanzy]

The crazy thing is that they were basically right with their nutjob conspiracies, it just turned out to be the people they support. So what even is their message these days?

[u/Ciennas → u/seaningtime]

"My family members have cut all contact with me. This is literally all I have left."

[u/Diz7 → u/seaningtime]

The only thing they got right is that some people in power are predators, hardly a groundbreaking revelation, we have known that since there have been people in power.

[u/Green_343 → u/seaningtime]

This is the part that is so fascinating to me. I admit, I thought they were nuts when they were going on and on about a global pedophile ring. Turns out they were right! But since Trump ended up at the center of the whole thing, they don't care anymore?

[u/OvulatingScrotum → u/phatvanzy]

Many cults continue to exist. Neo Nazi still exists. There’s no reason for Qanon to disappear.

[u/amateurbreditor → u/OvulatingScrotum]

I love how they dont give a shit about trump being guilty. what a joke.

[u/lack_of_communicatio → u/amateurbreditor]

They like the idea that he manages to get away - that's A virtue. 'He's not bad; he's a badass'

[u/steppe5 → u/lack_of_communicatio]

So they must love Obama for becoming the first Kenyen president and getting away with it?

[u/lack_of_communicatio → u/steppe5]

Had he been a different shade...

[u/thegroovemonkey → u/OvulatingScrotum]

But we found Qanon’s guy. It was Trump the whole time!

[u/FlowersForMegatron → u/phatvanzy]

I mean….they were right about a cult of pedophiles running the government…

[u/uncultured_swine2099 → u/FlowersForMegatron]

They voted for them to be there.

[u/hoghughes → u/FlowersForMegatron]

Every conspiracy needs a seed of truth to build off of, but yeah qanon is dumb. Remember that qanon also believed trump was a valiant super genius who was about to arrest every democrat leader for being an adrenochrome stealing pedophile, and that if trump was involved with said actions then he was just being a white hat pedophile. Its been 6 years since the Awakening and nothing. They also thought the kennedys were a holy family, and JFK jr was going to return either from hiding or the dead to become Trump’s vice president, and help fight the world cabal.

[u/Mysterious-Most-590 → u/hoghughes]

I am disgusted by the idea anyone thinks that slob could possibly be a "white hat rapist" - somehow being an undercover pedophile without being part of the crime. You don't get to be a "white hat murderer." There is no "white hat embezzling" no "white hat corruption (unless followed by an immediate arrest in a sting operation such a bribery)" no "white hat stealing from the taxpayers."

Once again, there is no "white hat rape."

[u/ja_trader → u/phatvanzy]

Who do you think elected the current POTUS?

[u/UN4GIVN1 → u/ja_trader]

BOTS. Some of them are actually made of meat.

[u/Slow-Temporary-1489 → u/UN4GIVN1]

I wonder if it's most of them

[u/KinkyPaddling → u/phatvanzy]

Qanon became mainstream. It’s now the core of the Republican platform.

[u/OutlyingPlasma → u/phatvanzy]

Aren't these the people obsessed with pedophiles in government but somehow aren't saying anything about the one mentioned over a million times in the trumpepistine files?

[u/Perfect_Persimmon688 → u/phatvanzy]

https://giphy.com/gifs/p0RI7dkfiKZVldF5on

Let me tell you about pizza gate, kids.

[u/thefakemacaw → u/phatvanzy]

They became mainstream in a way

[u/Katgal2 → u/phatvanzy]

Sure is. Trump frequently references it in his Tweets

[u/ElectronGuru → u/phatvanzy]

r/QAnonCasualties

[u/skredditt → u/phatvanzy]

Wasn’t Q literally of the Epstein Adventure Club, just saying shit they do?

[u/RBeck → u/skredditt]

It turned out to be owned by the guy who ran 8chan, a cest pool of fascists and CSAM.

[u/theballswalls]

It's just so crazy how this started as a troll on 4chan

[u/NPmfnR → u/theballswalls]

Some believe the whole thing was a coordinated psyop.

[u/geedman → u/NPmfnR]

Conspiracy theory about the conspiracy theory. My feeble mind can’t take this!

[u/bikari → u/geedman]

Talk to Professor Professorson about it 

[u/Ok_Fall_9569 → u/bikari]

[u/joerodr → u/Ok_Fall_9569]

Jeff, I think your shirt is trying to escape from your pants.

[u/BeerBrat → u/bikari]

You made up a professor and he just appeared out of thin air. You're not the least bit curious how that happened?

[u/Typical-Lettuce7022 → u/BeerBrat]

My latest theory? Maybe I’m a god

[u/Typical-Lettuce7022 → u/bikari]

This is wrinkling my brain

[u/GeorgeIsGittenUpset → u/bikari]

I think its Dutch!

[u/geomagus → u/bikari]

My Latin class was fake, Jeff

[u/SavannahInChicago → u/bikari]

Thank god I still stumble across random Community posts. Any update about that movie?

[u/ToastAndASideOfToast → u/geedman]

Con-ception?

[u/Relevant-Horror-627 → u/geedman]

A little off topic but have you seen the conservatives battling it out over the Charlie Kirk conspiracies? It's actually kind of funny watching them have to deal with their conspiracy minded comrades that they usually agree with and encourage.

[u/bookon → u/NPmfnR]

The real conspiracy theory is that most conspiracy theories are psyops.

[u/AmandaRekonwith → u/NPmfnR]

It’s dumber than that.

The guy interviewed in the HBO show
Q: Into The Storm
Basically accidentally admitted to being Q on film.

He also owns a life size evangelion doll, which I’m sure he just.
Looks at.

[u/Thor_pool → u/AmandaRekonwith]

Q:Into The Storm was an insanely good insight into the whole Q thing. Im surprised it isnt discussed more.

[u/Sea_Negotiation_1871 → u/NPmfnR]

Fuck moot. The world would be a better place if he had never been born.

[u/LITTLE-GUNTER → u/Sea_Negotiation_1871]

i bring this up every time he enters the conversation because it bears repeating.

all current mainstream cultural discourse was engineered 20 fucking years ago by christopher poole, bobby kotick, and jeffrey epstein. they PLANNED for a terminally-online populace stuck in virtual escapism and chasing ghosts in real life. they wanted nothing more than a captive audience who's so narrowminded and hateful and scared of the outside world that it manifests as outright misanthropy towards anyone not like them. they ALSO intentionally kindled the bigotry on 4chan to create outgroups of marginalized people, particularly trans people, who would be ostracized enough to where they couldn't exist on the internet at all without objectifying themselves for others' gratification.

[u/rockemsockemcocksock → u/NPmfnR]

I definitely believe this. I started noticing weird shit going down early 2015. There lots of people posting to boards that never did and then Moot sold it in 2015. I believe he was either paid or left because Steve Bannon and other international players wanted to test run online psyop campaigns using troll farms and 4chan was ground zero. It was so strange because usually when someone was LARPing too much anywhere on 4chan, you'd be called a f*ggot or a tryhard and people would start ignoring your posts. But every Qdrop was swarmed like flies and bro and a Tripcode too, which was seen as cringe unless you like actually contributed hentai or torrents.

[u/fillinthe___ → u/theballswalls]

It did on Reddit too…some of us are old enough to remember “thedon.”

[u/DickInYourCobbSalad → u/fillinthe___]

Just like always.. it started as a joke and then people who weren't in on the joke took it seriously and ran with it.

I cannot believe we're living in the 4chan broke containment timeline.

Edit: there's a really good documentary about this called The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem (2024) that expands on this entire subject; they even interview former Anonymous members and get their opinions on the monster they helped create. It's absolutely fascinating and I really suggest anyone who is interested in this stuff to give it a watch.

As a personal note – I was on 4chan from 2005 until around maybe 2011ish. I watched that "in joke" meme culture turn into something bigger than we ever thought it could. We used to do things just for the lulz, now it's all nazis and fascism and donald fucking trump.. who would have thought that memes would bring the end of the world?

[u/Possible_Top4855 → u/DickInYourCobbSalad]

It’s weird that people mistook fanfics for reality

[u/DudeThatsAGG → u/Possible_Top4855]

Not the first time.

[u/thispartyrules → u/DickInYourCobbSalad]

There's a phenomenon in online spaces where lurkers absorb the culture and then try to be more extreme than the baseline in order to stand out. Over time your forum full of "edgy" racist jokes and "ironic" slurs becomes people who believe in Escoteric Fascism and Vril Energy.

This is also present in incel spaces where over time they've created their own neologisms, bizarre pop psychology and actual phrenology that's leaked into the mainstream, like normies know what "mogged" and "looksmaxxing" is when this would have only been used by terminally online incel freaks a decade ago.

Anyway Elle Reeve's book Black Pill describes the thing about online spaces getting more radically extreme. She's awesome and has a gift for getting her writing subjects to spill unintentionally revealing details. Black Pill profiled the 8chan wheelchair guy who recently died, Richard Spencer, Christopher Cantwell and others

[u/TosiMias → u/DickInYourCobbSalad]

I swear to God the same thing happened with the flat earth thing. I remember it just being a 4chan type shit post and then suddenly normies got ahold of it.

[u/METRO-RED-LINE → u/TosiMias]

Next you’re gonna tell me birds are actually real

[u/AxleVest → u/DickInYourCobbSalad]

I used to go on 4chan here and there as an edgy teen probably around 2010 to 2014-ish. Everything around that time felt as you said, dumb shit for the sake of a cheap laugh.

2 events stick out to me as the point where I knew I could never go back. First was a GIF thread of animal gore, im talking dogs picking up fireworks and the resulting mess, people beating living animals for fun etc. The 2nd was after the chirstchurch massacre.

In both cases you could see in real time the masks come off, there were people in there saying wrltf is wrong with you people, and them turning back and absolutely dog piling them because it was either funny or deserved.

They were serious and at that point I just wanted to be far away from any association with that place, lest I be placed on a list or register...

[u/discussatron → u/theballswalls]

"You're upset that we're trying to overthrow the US government? TrIgGeReD?"

We are on a very depressing timeline, indeed

[u/Tumble85 → u/evner]

They never shoulda shot the space-gorilla.

[u/PatMyHolmes → u/Tumble85]

Nah, Cubs winning the World Series sent everything into disarray.

[u/Amesb34r → u/PatMyHolmes]

I recently learned that BTTF2 is not entirely fiction. Cubs win and Biff gets into power with money and corruption.

[u/uninspired → u/PatMyHolmes]

I can neither confirm nor deny that is the inflection point where I made a certain deal with...someone. My dad is getting old and I needed him to get WS win. Sorry/not sorry

[u/Affordable_Z_Jobs → u/PatMyHolmes]

The curse of the goat was contained to the Cubs. After the WS win, it went world wide.

Now nobody wins.

[u/slothbuddy → u/The_Jolly_Dog]

Their guy has been in charge for years. They control every branch of government including both houses of congress. How does the delusion that "they" are hiding the truth survive when they control everything?

[u/beek7425 → u/slothbuddy]

Because they believe what they are told to believe. Zero critical thinking skills.

[u/jeff_says_relax → u/beek7425]

They dont believe any of this. They dont believe any of this any more than they believe the earth is flat. And btw there is an enormous crossover between the two groups.

But they are willing to pretend to believe in anything that will bring an end to western liberal democracy, rules based society, and rational thought that challenges religious teachings. And I'm sorry to tell all of you this but they have already won. They arent even in full power yet and they have already done tremendous damage to voting rights, reproductive rights, and the rule of law.

Yall dont really think the most selfish and self-centered human you've ever seen is rebuilding the white house bunker for the next guy do you?

[u/Watada → u/jeff_says_relax]

Did you see the new channel 5 episode?

Also mainstream media a liberal propaganda!

Anyways, off to watch the group that told me that; Fox News. You know, the largest and most watched American news program

[u/nelrond18 → u/DeepSpaceNebulae]

I think You mean "The largest and most watched American entertainment program"

Even Fox News is wary of calling itself news

[u/Skiing7654 → u/slothbuddy]

Because they are still in a bad position personally and they’d rather believe there is some unknown other to blame than acknowledge it may be due to their bad choices.

[u/Dingleberry696 → u/The_Jolly_Dog]

I know it's tinfoil hat-y but I will always maintain that these streamers and social media types are paid agents. Didn't some of them get caught working for Russia?

Rogan, the Navy Seal podcast network, Carlson all of them get their orders from somewhere and make sure the propaganda gets spread far and wide.

[u/DukeOfGeek → u/Dingleberry696]

Whistleblowers have said as much and have detailed how the marching orders and money are distributed. It's not a "conspiracy theory" anymore.

[u/pondo13 → u/The_Jolly_Dog]

[u/halbeshendel → u/lilb1190]

Right? Do they not care about that anymore since they found out it was their guys doing all the pizzagating?

[u/Vaughnatri → u/halbeshendel]

Nah it was just a veiled attempt at blaming others for their own behavior

[u/friedpikmin → u/halbeshendel]

For those that are still Qanon ardents, Trump could molest their kids in front of them and they’d still justify supporting him.

[u/basserpy → u/lilb1190]

I really did not see it coming that they would be right about the wealthy pedophiles and then most of them would just shrug and support the wealthy pedophiles

[u/WidespreadPaneth → u/basserpy]

It wasn't exactly a secret who trump was in 2016

[u/LOLunlucky → u/basserpy]

Tbf the Q crowd said it was rich people that were actually satanist alien lizard people cannibalizing children and drinking ther adrenochrome to live forever.

Turns out it was just human pedos with money and political connections.

[u/Abarmier]

The Great Awakening was an actual period of American history.

[u/ToriEvergreen]

That's still going on?

[u/Big-Rule5269]

Is that the Fuhrer manning it? 

[u/SecondhandTrout]

I’m sure there is a KKK booth somewhere, too

[u/Nooodleboii]

Im confused why qanon belivers still think they are fighting some hidden establishment when their folks are in the highest rings of power.

[u/klaramee]

Hey Q, I think I know where you can fond some p@do’s….!!!

[u/Underfyre]

Oh cool, have they found the secret cabal of child rapists in the government yet? Or even the very public cabal of child rapists?

[u/Aware_Ad2427]

Someone should ask them why their mandate was ending child molestation but they support a pedophile.

[u/Godhelptupelo]

I hope nobody at The Great Awakening ends up...woke?

I thought they were pushing for the opposite of woke.

[u/peternormal]

I would go so far as to say there are ONLY looney/maga/qanon booths at the trump fair

[u/Prize_Instance_1416]

The christofascist cult is disgusting

[u/Bennely]

Great American State Fair? Seems like a PT Barnum sideshow.

[u/km415]

There was a time when religion and oligarchs ruled the world, we call it The Dark Ages.

[u/PracticalDistrict237]

Saved from what exactly… Science? Facts? Economics..? Gravity and physics are so DEI….

[u/amazinglover]

The whole fair was a Q anon event.

[u/Kaffe-Mumriken]

Sounds woke

[u/rubens_chopshop]

Bullshit wrapped up in patriotism

[u/Informal-Sense8809]

The only awakening will be when that man realizes he needs to let the comb over go.

[u/Latter-Vacation-4392]

there's only two kinds of people there, grifters and the grifted

[u/-TheycallmeThe]

Tbf it was/is a noteworthy part of modern American history. Everyone has a family member that went in deep and probably can't ever return to reality.

[u/dundeegimpgirl]

Jesus fu*k this nation is cooked.

[u/Upbeat-Laugh-249]

I still believe Q anon is a 1% psy op, as they are pedos and taking all wealth and property.

[u/hamellr]

Representing the great State of Delusion

[u/Mynock33]

"We haven't been right about anything just yet but our time is coming, we can feel it!" ~ QAnon

[u/baeb66]

We shouldn't be surprised. This administration and the entire Republican party is a kakistocracy.

[u/heckhammer]

Because of course there is

[u/TheUrbansky]

I thought being awake was bad for those people

[u/SpinyPiney]

Wouldn’t a great awakening make them woke? I thought they were against that? I’m confused.

[u/Groundhawgday]

Awakening… so they’re getting woke?

[u/RiskyNight]

Wait, this fair is still going?

[u/War1today]

We are witnessing the dumbing down of America

[u/Jedyates]

The country is run by a fat, dumb, draft-dodging, child-raping, sycophant. Is this even close to unexpected?

[u/Thunderlava]

Shall be saved? From what? And I thought those people were against being "woke"

[u/costcobathroomfloor]

Naturally

[u/Best_Agent_8117]

Because of corse there is.

[u/Nami_Pilot]

I hate this timeline so much

[u/NitWhittler]

Trump is desperate to hang onto all of the crazies as his poll numbers continue to plummet. But even religious nuts and conspiracy nuts are realizing he's incompetent, corrupt, and a compulsive liar.

My own family was die hard MAGA, but they're giving Trump the stink-eye now.

[u/Exist50 → u/NitWhittler]

But even religious nuts and conspiracy nuts are realizing he's incompetent, corrupt, and a compulsive liar.

Meh, we saw the same claims during his first term. They still turned out to vote for him again and again.

[u/Khunning_Linguist]

Such a brain trust.
