One wonders how they'd fare on the Kool-Aid test!
Let alone the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test!
@skydog @mizblueprint @georgetakei Just a polite heads up folks, the Jonestown victims drank the poison at gunpoint

By Jonathan Marker | National Archives News WASHINGTON, November 4, 2019 — The massacre of 918 women, men, and children in and near Reverend Jim Jones’s Peoples Temple compound in Jonestown, Guyana, on November 18, 1978, was the largest single loss of American civilian lives as the result of a deliberate act in history until the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Enlarge Congresswoman Jackie Speier speaks about her book 'Undaunted' in the William G. McGowan Theater at the National Archives in Washington, DC.

@KarelFinn @georgetakei They believe in Jesus.
You know, the one with blonde hair, blue eyes, the physique of a well-trained athlete and a hand cannon with a caliber of 88 millimeters.
I think they revel in the hurt.
The hurt done to others is the point.
They don't even care if they get hurt along the way, as long as others are hurt.
@georgetakei it's such a useless comparison, though. I trust my family and friends not to lie to me, but that doesn't mean they know what they're talking about.
Obviously I wouldn't trust conservative media/politicians, but I don't think it's weird to value information from certain media over information from friends and family, at least on certain subjects.
@georgetakei
There is something deeply, gravely, terminally wrong with anyone who can, especially at this point, believe ONE WORD from Fucko’s lips.
An entire 2016 campaign built on “fake news” and “but her emails” lies.
30,000+ DOCUMENTED lies during his administration.
An insurrection concocted and effected because of his election lies.
1000+ people arrested, 700+ convicted for Jan6 because of his lies.
A Federal indictment and a state indictment based on his election lies.
Another Fed indictment for lying about stolen documents.
He has no relationship with the concept of ‘truth’ - none.
These people need an intervention.
To be honest, I'd believe ANYONE, Trump included, more than the childfuckers in the churches.
If there was only the decision to trust Trump or the Pope, then I'd do the empirically correct thing: I'd trust the person who lied less often. I'd believe Donald Trump.
And that means something, as with all the decisions we really have, Trump isn't someone you should believe.
'Feel' vs 'know'...makes perfect sense...🙄
To be fair, I have had family members I trust less than I trust trump, and I'm left of Barack Obama.
@georgetakei it is not really a statement now is it? Since only Trump supporters where questioned.
Curious about the outcome of Biden supporters...
Still strange though. Why would you ever trust a politician more than you own family?
I do not always share their views, but I am sure they are sincere...
@georgetakei trusting Trump is hard to understand, but if you do, then trusting him more than these groups makes a degree of sense. He's a quantifiable person, and the others are vaguely defined groups. In that sense, it's a poorly designed question.
Any group will have some outliers so: trust an individual more than my family (including my lying uncle and my cousin who is in prison for bank fraud); or "the clergy" (including that embezzlor and those child molestors)? 🤔
@georgetakei Here's a list of companies that gave #Trump money to get elected. Use #AI tools like #Chatgpt to figure out how to shut them all down!
