    Did she spray-tan herself pink to match the dress? I can’t tell if that is a natural skin tone

    It’s really crazy how he is being treated as if he was a high ranking military officer or an elected politician. He was just a hateful guy with a podcast.

      To be fair, given how Lemmy is filled with posts about this guy he wasn’t “just a guy”. Must be even more scary on more popular platforms. Really, you better stop praising him.

      This is the face of extremism- falling over each other to be the most subservient and loyal to the cause. It’s groupthink in a nutshell, they egg each other on and compete to be the most extreme because if you don’t shout hard enough then maybe you’re a traitor.

      This is how you get nazis and holocausts.

        I was about to post the same thing.

        Its a fucking charade. a desperate downward theatrical spiral to show who can be the most ridiculously “True to the cause” because the person/persons who show the least effort will inevitably become the out group.

        It is not just about being a traitor or not. This attempt at declaring this guy a martyr is basically trying to prove you are one step more extreme than him on a meta level so you can absorb his influence and supporters to your being.

    THE NATION OWES ETERNAL DEBT TO THIS HERO OF THE REPUBLIC, THIS GUARDIAN OF THE FLAG, THIS MARTYR OF THE UNION, THIS SAINT OF THE CONSTITUTION WHO CARRIED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ON HIS BLUE RED WHITE STRIPED SHOULDERS, WHOSE FACE SHALL BE ENGRAVED ON THE MOUNTAINS AND WHOSE NAME BE SUNG BY ANGELS AS HE ASCENDS THE HEAVENLY THRONE TO BE EMBRACED BY THE ONE TRUE LORD JESUS CHRIST, HIS SACRIFICE WRITTEN WITH ASTRAL FIRE AND FOREVER ECHOED THROUGH THE CHAMBERS OF POWER AND ANNALS OF HISTORY AND RETOLD BY THE LIPS OF PATRIOTS FOR MILLENNIA!

    Politics aside, this is extremely sad and pathetic. Something is very wrong here. Far beyond politics.

        Correct, they will beat this dead horse into oblivion to try and make him their martyr. I am hopeful it isn’t going to work though. There’ll be some fanfare for the next week or two, but it should calm down

      Agreed. Should dump the remains in a hole, cover it up and forget the spot like a shit in the woods. Pretty sad that the people responsible for running the country (in theory) are wasting time on him.
