I dont know anyone personally that believed that nonsense but there are sure a lot of people that did...maybe they were the ones that showed up for that JFK Jr reappearance event
>>Then you werent reading FR. I saw plenty of people who believed it and actually mocked and ridiculed those of us who thought it was nonsense
Yep, if it wasn’t seen by someone, its because they weren’t paying any attention.
There is a whole crowd of very vocal conspiracy theorists here on FR - either because they are actually crazy/ignorant, or they are actors being paid, or volunteering, to come to conservative sites generally disrupt any intelligent discussion and make all republicans look stupid by planting outlandish stories and conspiracies theories or very easily disproven ‘facts’.
But that is social media i na nutshell, and it’s not going to get any better.
I know someone who was and still is “all in” with this belief and with Q-anonsense. During the dark weeks between the election and inauguration, he kept moving the goal posts. Regularly sent me crap about how there was going to be martial law in the country, people were going down, etc.
One of his more recent rants went something like this-
“Trump is touting the vaccines because Democrats forced his hand. He knows the vaccines are bad, but he gave them what they wanted. Now they are forcing the vaccines on everyone and people are dying. He’s just letting this all play out. Once everyone sees how many people have died from the vaccines, they will see Biden is bad and Trump will get back in there. He’s just letting it all play out.”
Just. WTF?!
Come Jan. 1, 2021 they have another 365 to hope for. Such
is life and it continues until each one is dead and gone.
May all have a blessed day.......
I’m not sure “perfected” is quite the right word.
The stolen presidential election was far from seamless.
Although, obviously they did get away with it.
Sort of like someone stealing your car and the criminal is driving it around day after day.
You’ve reported to the authorities.
You’ve even told them where the car thief is.
But the police do nothing about it.
Probably a mixture of those classifications here.
I still laugh over the clown that said I was just jealous of Sidney Powell because I didnt believe things like her CIA Germany server shoot out BS propaganda. I think General Mac was a big pusher of that story
Writer picks a weird item (one remedy that is “complicated” to say the least) to expand on.
Does he believe the vote error was large enough to turn the outcome in any state? To render the outcome in any state in doubt? Regardless of his answers to those, what does he think the discussion should be, on the subject?
Some here make the following rationale - because Trump can’t be reinstated (various detailed legal reasons usually offered), there is no sense to make an effort and correct the call post mortem.
Trump will not fight. He lacks the will.
If he can’t make a deal, he loses.
He can’t deal. He continues to lose
The hubris is strong with this one too, we are to be humble and learn, while he gets his prayer revelations and “announces” (his words) that Biden will be president.
Some people cling to the idea that everything that happens is somehow God’s will, which flies in the face of both original sin and free will, how can everything bad that happens be God’s will, it is just a basic misunderstanding of the actual situation, that another entity is in charge of this world for the time being, and that God is coming at some point to set things right. That is inconsistent with a concept that everything bad happening under that other entity’s limited control is also God’s will. Either God is ruling and His will is being done, or He is not ruling and His will is not being done.
I suppose there may also be some justification for thinking that in the grand scheme of things, God may have more important things to do than to settle political arguments between the sort of good and the sort of bad, He does seem more likely to get involved if you’re up against a Hitler or a Stalin. But the way these people are going, they are pushing into that domain so maybe it’s in our favor that evil prevails, it might get some attention as there are clearly a lot of other things on the to do list.
Dont you know you have to “trust Trumps plan”?
Bagster says so.
If not you are a TROLLLL!!!!!!!!!
Bagster says so.
That person comes to mind when trying to figure whether its a crazy poster or a paid psy ops operative
Pretty sure we’ve got that figured out.
It doesn’t explain why free republic allows him to keep going toxic, though.
Oh, I don’t doubt there are people who believed it...just nobody I could find face to face who would admit it!
I definitely have a very different assessment process for what people say online and what people say in person.
When I see someone say it online, I read it, sip my coffee, and say “Well, there’s that...” Heh, electrons are cheap.
When I am discussing something across a table with a relative or acquaintance and I hear them say something like that, I put my coffee down and say “Really? Tell me more...”
I for one never believed Trump would be “placed” back in the WH although I believe without reservation the election was stolen.
I also don’t believe any of us should “get over it” or “move on”.
This is why anything from the gateway pundit should be banned from here.
On the other hand there are people around here convinced that Trump is still president and running the show. He's allowing Biden to appear to be president to further some sort of goal; let people see how bad things could be or something like that.
Did I miss anything, Ms. GG2?
What a stupid straw man idea. We ought to hope that he is NOT returned to the WH this year. Why should he be? To spend half a year fixing the mess Biden has made and facing mid-term elections before he’s even finished transitioning? He should be reelected in 2024, with majorities in both houses, and a thoroughly cowed and chastened DNC just shutting up and sucking it up (OK. That won’t happen. They don’t do cowed and chastened, or shut up). It’s fortunate that the Constitution makes no such provision. Until 2022, it’s up to the People to stop this treasonous puppet presidency before it destroys America. After that, it’ll still be up to the People, but hopefully with a helpful Congress at their backs.
I don’t dump on anybody for believing that Trump would somehow find a way through to the White House because the alternative is clearly odious and our inherent sense of right and wrong demands that the abomination not stand. Most but maybe not all who thought Trump would prevail were probably of a strong religious faith (as the subject of this thread claims to be). It makes sense to me that if you believe God is in control of all things that He would almost automatically get rid of Biden, but the problem is, God is not in control of all things on earth, just in heaven.
Jesus taught us to pray that God’s will be done on earth “as it is in heaven.” But Jesus did not say “God’s will is going to be done on earth, trust me,” otherwise why would these words need to be inserted into a prayer? Of course some of God’s will is done on earth, that by people of faith. Also Satan’s will is done on earth, some also by misguided people of faith.
I can’t see how it would be wrong or foolish to believe that God might act, especially as many people were probably praying that He would act. However, Biblical prophecy is fairly clear that appointed times and places lie ahead and that bad things happen until we get there. So at the same time nobody should be surprised that this bad thing is happening. Just pray without ceasing until it does come to a merciful end. This is all we can do.
Q Anon is very likely a sincere person who is trying to “egg on” a just solution, with the thought process being that if enough of us believe something to be true, it will somehow become real. It’s a field of dreams sort of concept, easy to mock or ridicule but also part of the concept of reaching for the stars. It’s a duality, the more evil the opponent becomes, the more refined is our goodness in suffering that evil. Those without faith cannot understand this. Those with faith have always lived this reality.
IIRC, Pence doesn’t certify anything...he reads the results into the Federal Record.
"God works in mysterious ways." The notion that what doesn't lkill you, makes you stronger, has a spiritual side too. Uncomfortable times have a way of changing what and how people think, and even what they believe in.
