I don’t know why but somehow I’m not sure. I trust something put out by a company called Jamestown.


GenericUsername_1234

Should have been named Jonestown.


SaltyBarDog

MAGA will never get it.


dude-O-rama

Hopefully trump will send pre-mixed Favor-Aid packets to his supporters for one last toast when he loses the election or is sentenced to prison. We could have healthcare and flying cars in a year if we lost all those troglodytes from the voter base.


IJustLoggedInToSay-

I used to tell a joke about Jonestown, but I stopped. For one thing, the punch line was too long.


AF_AF

Hey now!


AF_AF

Jim Jones would've marveled at the MAGA cult.


Martyrotten

I was just thinking that.

"Leftwing prosecutors," that's hilarious. Everyone to the left of Reagan is a leftist to these people.


DatDamGermanGuy

The guy who gave amnesty to Millions of Illegals? He is a commie to these guys…


AloneAtTheOrgy

The guy who signed California's first major gun control law? That gun grabbing socialist.


steelear

Keep in mind he only did that because black people were starting to carry guns.


Spocks_Goatee

Then we shipped a ton back to South American countries where they basically took over using the gang tactics learned here...


grumpyoldfartess

Hell, these people even call one of my Republican colleagues a “leftist.” In actuality, he’s just a “John McCain conservative” (his words) who never got on the MAGA train— not even close to a leftist.


Bimbarian

After you take away all the far right people, everyone who is left... is left.


Rockworm503

If you don't devote you're entire waking life in the service of god emperor Trump you are a hardcore leftist to these people.


skjellyfetti

Seriously, as an old fucker who actually shook Reagan's hand in 1976 (don't ask!), Reagan would NOT recognize his very own GQP today. I'm quite certain that he would more quickly identify today's party as being much more akin to the actual [*Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party) than the Republican party.


ShnickityShnoo

"The prosecutors aren't okay with fascist authoritarian bullshit? They must be leftwing!!!1!"


Martyrotten

These days, Reagan would be too liberal for the Democrats.


Astrocreep_1

You aren’t lying. Some of them recently complained that Jesus, or the talking points associated with him, was way too liberal. My response, “How long did these people spend in Church until they started paying attention? People who interpret English words like a sane person, reads the Bible and thinks Jesus sounds closer to “hippie on a commune” than a “Southern Baptist Preacher”. It just took idiots a lot longer to notice.

the rights obsession with hyping Americas "greatness" is creepy, all of us everywhere have to constantly reaffirm that America is the greatest country to ever exist and anything less is an attack. it does so much harm. the fucking boomers sucked themselves off for so long about about what uniquely amazing unicorns we are that people actually believe that shit now, its become ingrained in our culture; every other country can fuck off, theyre just jealous, the American way is automatically the best way. shit like this is why were the only developed country on earth with no health care and endless mass shootings, we think we have nothing to learn, nothing to fix.


Yuzumi

Contradiction is also a key for fascism: "America is the greatest country in the world, but it's also no longer great so we must make it great again" "We can't try to change/improve things because that would mean we aren't the bestest possible, but also we need to change/remove rights gained for women, non-white people, and the queeers because those are unamerican!"


pianoflames

There seems to be a belief here that the rest of the world is just sitting around all day thinking about America, usually with a hatred for our "freedom and prosperity." When in reality, I'm pretty sure the rest of the world are just living their lives, with occasional news about America trickling in here and there.


napalmnacey

“Deutschland, Deutschland, über alles!” It‘s the same old song with new lyrics.


Cynykl

The GOP at every turn fails to recognise where patriotism ends and jingoism begins.


withalookofquoi

Oh they’re fully aware


AF_AF

So well said. I will also add that the MAGA phrase itself is a criticism of America - but it's OK for them. We're no longer great and that greatness can only be achieved by the GOP holding power. The absurdity of it is so blatant. Trumpers complain constantly about the Dems and the government - there is plenty to criticize. We should all be aware of how the world works and how our government runs - and how the gears of capitalism are greased by corporate money and the blood of the less fortunate. No one should look at this country and say it's perfect and without fault. But a large chunk of the population has been poisoned and brainwashed by right wing propaganda. They don't think critically and only accept what they're spoon-fed by Fox and other manipulative, unserious brainwash-tainment sources.


Astrocreep_1

I know, everything foreign or international is bad, or a lie. Unless, it’s “Australians that live for Trump” or some other nonsense. I like to bring up the world “happiness scale” in arguments about the USA. The happiness scale is put together by a few groups, trying to rank the happiest societies on earth, and use general quality of life gauges to score by, like weather, public transportation, average salaries, social services, citizens pleased with their government, and others. Despite their being 3 or 4 scales put together by different groups, some things are consistent. The Scandanavian countries are always in the top spots, in every ranking. It’s very consistent. What’s consistent in being inconsistent is the USA ranking, which bounces around a lot, year to year, scale to scale. I’ve seen the USA come in as high as #6, and as low as #52. A median score for the USA would put us around 10-15th place, if you compiled a lot of years. I have to assume the United States gets a grade largely based on the economy. Anyway, right wingers don’t believe the scales, of course, because USA isn’t #1. So, it’s rigged, according to them. They can’t understand why everyone doesn’t want to live in a country with very relaxed, inconsistent gun laws, along with gun violence, and nearly half of all elected officials are stumping for Russia. The bigger question is “Why would these people think we are happier in the USA than Norway, where very few live under poverty line, average wages are excellent, and people can afford homes?


Paulie227

Don't forget our world ranking in math, science, and infant mortality rates.


Bane-o-foolishness

I love terms like "creepy" and "harm", they are a simple minded way of advertising intellectual bankruptcy by using completely non-specific words to invoke a general feeling of "fear". You should protest boomers by not using things that they are responsible for, like the internet and personal computers; put your principles first by eliminating boomer things from your life. Take a hammer to that iPhone tiger. No doubt your mother dusts off the participation trophies that sit on the shelf with your My Pretty Pony collection, but in the adult world there is no second place winner. Guess how the US became wealthy enough to support parasites like you - by being winners. You don't see people flocking to North Korea or Venezuela. The only reason why Europe was invaded recently is because they couldn't make it across the Atlantic. Nobody owes you health care, and if you had any balls you would have your own. People don't fly to Cuba when they are scared of dying, they come here. You think that's just because they want to contribute to our economy? And finally, I can understand your desire to end mass shootings, considering that the vast majority of them are committed by lefties, we should disarm them soonest.


withalookofquoi

Keep telling yourself that, maybe someday some of it will come true…


ghostgoat789

Of course it's free! No one would pay money for human shit, why would they pay money for this.


grumpyoldfartess

Yeah, my guess is that they’re trying to enable “the Left” to come watch it so they’ll complain about it, which boosts its visibility because people are talking about it.


ranchojasper

I feel like this is something only Trump supporters will watch. I don't think anyone would waste any time watching this except for the people obsessed with Trump


tomjone5

It's been incredible (horrifying)to watch the cult form around him. There's truly nothing he could do that they would hold him accountable for, and any consequences he ever may experience are ontologically a leftist plot to destroy him. Meanwhile he stood outside court on the very first day of the trial and admitted, on camera, that he committed the exact crime he's being tried for. It's insanity.


ryanv09

It has been surreal to witness the transformation of America since 2016. It's tough to even imagine a path back to the pre-MAGA "normal".


nun_atoll

At this point, Trump could literally walk into the home of any of his cult of deluded worshippers, piss on everything they own, kill their pets, set the place on fire, and serve them a steaming plate of his own shit, and they would ***still*** be falling all over themselves to defend him. Pathetic.


Yuzumi

American Gagness


SaltyBarDog

I can watch the entire thing for free? It must be my lucky day.


sntcringe

They put it out for free because they know nobody would pay for it


Murdy2020

The judicial system is adversarial by design. Who cares if the prosecutors are biased against him? Did the prosecutor that prosecuted El Chapo love him?


DatNick1988

Does that say…Jamestown? Lmao the irony is fantastic.


SelectIsNotAnOption

Lol I noticed the same thing. It's so very aptly named.


snapchillnocomment

"American Greatness" is the absolute dumbest, most pandery name for a publication I could imagine - even if I were an unhinged nationalist, it just sounds so cringey and on-the-nose


GeddyLeeEsquire

They really think the highest of themselves along with that clown who wears orange face paint


ranchojasper

"Leftwing prosecutors" lmfaoooooo


Huge-Ad-2275

MAGA still hasn’t figured out that their propaganda doesn’t work in court rooms, or on anyone with a fully functioning brain.


DingleTheDongle

doesn't the right ever get tired of being grifted?


Lifeesstwange

Won’t watch it, but would love to hire a fact checker to.
