I didn't know who John Castro is

I did some cursory digging and lmao

In early 2023, Castro began to file lawsuits in federal court to try to disqualify Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential election under the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, representing himself without aid of an attorney and promoting his legal efforts with posts to social media like "they finally realized I’m not fucking around," "I'm the greatest attorney that's ever lived" and "If people understood how insanely high my IQ is, they’d realize that Trump has already lost."

In 2022, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader, Castro claimed that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) attempted to plant listening devices in his automobile on orders of Donald Trump.

critical support for this crank

If this crank pops the big wet boy, we might enter a new era of the USA being a bit

'What ails you, Polyphemus,' said they, 'that you make such a noise, breaking the stillness of the night, and preventing us from being able to sleep? Surely no man is carrying off your sheep? Surely no man is trying to kill you either by fraud or by force? '

But Polyphemus shouted to them from inside the cave, 'Noman is killing me by fraud; no man is killing me by force.'

'Then,' said they, 'if no man is attacking you, you must be ill; when Jove makes people ill, there is no help for it, and you had better pray to your father Neptune.'

so they definitely only included that option as a Fuck You to the courts, right? like, they definitely didn't do that last election.

It's apparently been something on Nevada ballots since 1975

oh wild lmao

[–] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

2:1 margin now, that the votes are almost all in. This was the primary which doesn't matter at all though, as opposed to caucus tomorrow which doesn't actually matter either.

Okay this is sorta funny but can we talk about how terrifyingly ideologically steadfast MAGA chuds are

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, but the totality of their ideology as they understand it is "own the libs." That's why they love Trump. That's why they did this. That's why they did the field trip to the Capitol building.

That's why they get so shocked when one of them gets shot trying to get into the floor of Congress, or why any of them got arrested etc. Standard Chuds don't really understand any more than libs do, neither understand the consequences of any of this. All chuds want is someone to "own the libs." All libs want is to assuage their guilt and affirm meritocracy by voting blue (aka the adult in the room who will make the hard decisions)

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

All chuds want is someone to "own the libs."

Just wait until they finally figure out they're also libs.

I genuinely believe they just do whatever the TV tells them to do. If they ran Elmo non-stop on Fox he'd be the frontrunner

[–] RuthlessCriticism@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If that was the case, they would never have picked Trump in the first place.

[–] Dr_Gabriel_Aby@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Trump was on TV 30 weeks a year and promoted by NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, and FoxNews as an elite businessman. Every single conservative TV personality during that time said “America should be run like a business “

They listened to the TV even better than you could imagine.

[–] RuthlessCriticism@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The TV told them, "do not vote for Trump", and yet they did. There is no way around that simple fact.

[–] Dr_Gabriel_Aby@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

The TV told them for 12 straight years “Trump is the best businessman in the country,” and yet he wasn’t. There is no way around that simple fact.

[–] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

The TV has never told anyone to do anything, that’s not how advertising works. It’s heavily implied which is different and Trump is easily the most implied president in American history.

Trump supporters and Taylor swift supporters ought to be studied
