Flying SquidJimmy Kimmel has a suggestion.
argh_another_usernameI just saw Big Foot with a Venezuelan gang member sharing a cat bbq!
Please call J.D. Vance’s office, as one does about such issues.
I say Haitian migrants eating Bigfoot’s pets!
Cock_Inspecting_AsexualIm sharing this with all my friends to do the same. I just called and said I saw one in texas.
And then I saw one of the Big Foots and the Big Foot looked at me.
Could also let him know about that couch you saw on the street… ask why he kicked out his mistress.
Right, no one saw bigfoot because the Haitians ate him. There’s almost nothing the Haitians won’t eat. /s
Iheartcheese5 minutes since this guy posted and we haven’t heard from him since. FUCKING HATIANS ATE HIM
I think the /s stands for screaming. Which would be an appropriate response, given the situation.
Midnight WolfHey, has anyone seen Trump…? Uhoh.
ThePowerOfGeekI swear this is part of a wider ongoing experiment. “What’s the most comically ridiculous, most bullshit conspiracy we can come up with that the maga cult will believe”.
Whoever is behind it: please stop. We’ve known for a long time now that there’s is no bottom to that well.
Good. Trump needs a lot more than the MAGA cult to win an election (I wish I didn’t have to keep saying this). If we can convince them to start spreading the rumor about bigfoot in Ohio to the point that Vance and/or Trump starts talking about it, plenty of people leaning right will say, “this dude is nuts. No way am I voting for him.” They might not vote for Harris, but they also might not vote at all.
Ideology for many of the conservative mindset is more important that principles. The Democratic leaning voters are the ones that can be fickle enough to stay home but the Republicans would still vote
Plenty of prominent Republicans are already turning against him.
I don’t hear any of that outside the prominent ones. The smaller local ones are dead set on voting for Trump in my neck of the woods. But we have the nutters like Matt Shea constantly siring the pot and North Idaho seems like a powder keg waiting to go off. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone doesn’t try another Ruby Ridge type standoff in the next 5 years.
Okay? You were claiming all Republicans will still vote for him. That’s demonstrably not true. If big name Republicans aren’t going to vote for him, why are you assuming all other Republicans will?
Arkhive (they/she)If I may project a little, I think the commenter is pointing to language that’s been cropping up essentially calling big name republicans traitors for endorsing Kamala. While you’re more than allowed to interpret what they said literally, I read it has intentionally a bit hyperbolic to make the point that a huge portion of the Republican Party will literally blindly follow him, even if the party leaders are starting to flake.
Just remember, rewording this statement:
If big name Republicans aren’t going to vote for him, why are you assuming all other Republicans will?
To the version that would exemplify your interpretation:
If big name Republicans are going to vote for him, why are you assuming all other Republicans will?
Still creates an equally bold, and hyperbolic claim. Sometimes people use words like “all” and don’t really mean every last person. I blame the English language, not the people taking words literally, for misunderstandings like this.
Just remember, especially with politics, people often hype up language a bit, it makes statements carry more oomph, and can help keep supporters excited for whatever movement they are supporting.
Because I talk to Republicans, like with my mouth and listen with my ears. I see the roadside Trump support. I see people hanging banners on freeway overpasses. I’m just being realistic because I don’t think conservative voters really care about what the Republican Elites are doing if those people aren’t MAGA morons.
That is completely anecdotal.
That is a weak perspective.
Let me share something with you wikipedia.org/wiki/All_politics_is_local
Let me share something with you in return: psychologytoday.com/…/the-plural-anecdote-is-misi…
Did you even read that? What part aside from the use of your keywords do you want me to take from this?
All of it.
This part, for example
It is perfectly understandable why many people fall victim to the luring illusory strength of anecdotal evidence. It is easy to confuse correlation with causation. Illusions of causality and control are very powerful personal experiences that can trick many into believing a false reality. Illusions of causality also lie at the heart of pseudoscience.
You are falling victim to that very thing.
You clearly don’t understand what you’re trying to say. It’s a problem with this style of communication. Your putting to much value on your idea of what anecdotal evidence is. I’m not making presumptions about anything beyond my personal experiences. There’s no facts I can use outside of voting records and the words people use and the actions they take. You can call it antidotal evidence but that’s a poor direction because it’s like everything is anecdotal if someone wants to be argumentive. Everything is anecdotal at some point listen-hard.com/…/anecdotal-evidence-psychology/
I live in a conservative part of Washington, surrounded by even more conservative communities on the other side of the state boarder with Idaho. My city is an island of moderate voting but leaning right. It’s not very hard to get a sense of what the local politics are.
Do you know what that is like?
Let me give you an example. wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Shea
Matt Shea was a local government official. He’s made world news doing questionable shit. He’s made a religious He is a local conservative leader where I live. He was on stage with the previous mayor of Spokane. The election results are clearly factual. That mayor didn’t lose in a landslide.Matt Shea was rejected by the Republican Elites but I think his endorsement of Trump has a stronger appeal to the Republicans in Eastern Washington than Dick Cheney.
Shea acknowledged that he had distributed a four-page manifesto which called for the killing of non-Christian males if a war were to occur and they do not agree to follow fundamentalist biblical law
This is reality.
It’s hard to NOT see all the parts and make a conclusion that local conservative voters don’t care what the National Republican Party thinks.
Psychology isn’t a good science especially if you’re trying to apply it to politics.

I live in Indiana. I also don’t see all the Trump signs I saw in 2020. It’s not even close.
Does my anecdotal evidence trump yours?
That you even said
Does my anecdotal evidence trump yours?
Shows how little you understand the concept.
So apparently the answer is no. My experience in rural Indiana does not matter because of your experience in rural Washington.
The problem with all these “prominent” Republicans is I think they’re all liars. I think every last one will still vote for him come election day.
CileTheSaneIf he wins that will end the careers of those coming out against him. There is no reason for them to do so if they are going to vote for him.
The only one saying it seemed to be people whose careers pretty much are over.
Given that Trump throws you out when you stop kissing his ass for even a second…
(X) Doubt
Trump needs a lot more than the MAGA cult to win an election (I wish I didn’t have to keep saying this).
But he doesn’t in order to seize power undemocratically, which is his real game plan here. Remember, the NAZIs never had more than 30-something percent support in 1930s Germany, either.
Okay, but that’s a totally different issue from what we’re discussing.
Also, he doesn’t have the concentration of people to do it. January 6th happened because he was able to concentrate people in D.C. and was president at the time.
No it’s not…if you think for a second that’s not the end game you’re going to be very disappointed when they steal the election
Whether or not it is the end game, that is a different issue from what I am discussing.
We’re YOU in DC on January 6th? Cause I was for work and I’ve seen it with my own eyes
That is also not what I am discussing. I understand that you want to change the subject, but that does not work with me.
Indeed, at this point I’m expecting Trump to lose hard simply because he only has the MAGA cult and a few “Vote Red or we’re all dead” types
samus12345If you mix it with racism, they’ll believe just about anything.
Yeah, true. That’s the special ingredient.
Turns out Bigfoot is brown, and migrates north for the summer. We need to let JD Vance know STAT.
BakkodaOld Internet thick. Very dense. Took memes and trolls lot of work dig through. New Internet thin. Memes go to top quick. Much trolling on surface.
/S but kind of not
I’m pretty sure that’s how Qanon started.
Call JD Vance’s office and make up the most ridiculous shit. Say that Obama has been spotted shoving smaller gerbils up the asses of larger gerbils. The funnier we get this, the more “weird” Trump and Vance seem
Say that Obama has been spotted shoving smaller gerbils up the asses of larger gerbils.
Holy shit, that had me nearly crying with laughter!
Sadly it’s a joke I stole from the “Deception of a Generation” episode of Cinema Snob’s CD-R Hell
No no, I want to see how far we can take this.
What’s the worst that could happen?
I blame VEEP.
We all know whos responsible… The hacker known as four chan
explodicleLook, I’m an abigfootist too. But it’s just uncool to insult other people’s beliefs. There’s no proof that there isn’t a Bigfoot anyways. Let’s just be cool and accepting of their belief in Bigfoot, even if bigfootists are voting.
I admit, I have tried to figure out hypothetically how someone could get away with murder, and I thought going to another state, or even going to Mexico or Canada and then killing a random person would be part of it, but even then, you would have to do it from a distance because you might leave DNA on the body (they might fight back for example, get a bit of your skin under their nails or something). That would probably involve shooting a gun. Which is loud.
Maybe if you found a way to poison someone without anyone seeing the both of you together…
Yes, RCMP and PFM, this comment right here.
Unsolved murder rate dropped to 50% in 2020, and that was a historic low: npr.org/…/people-murder-unsolved-killings-record-…
So the real answer might be to just murder someone and you have a coin flip chance of ever being caught.
What the fuck are you talking about, Jesse?
What, you’ve never thought about this as a hypothetical? Maybe it’s because I love mystery novels and Columbo is one of my all-time favorite shows…
Did this happen? Did Kimmel announce the office line for JD’s people?
It did. In fact, he did yesterday too and told them to call and say that cupcake sprinkles made their kid gay, but this is better.
Trump Lies & Whines After Disastrous Debate, Swift for Kamala & Do Pro-Lifers Know the Female Body?
Are they threatening him with lawsuits or anything? Not sure what the cause would be but I’m figuring they’d come up with something.
Or they’ll try to get people to call democrat offices. Though I don’t think they have this level of mainstream media influence, so maybe it would come from random podcasts and tik toks. There’s Fox News though.
That’s public information. Anyone can call a senator’s office.
I’m aware. I just figured they’d try to come up with something.
