I’m fascinated by the psychology of it all.

I think there’s a term for this kind of group.

Can’t quite put my finger on it. It’s right on the tip of my tongue.

Take a look at the deflection attempt by one of the members currently. No mention of the original lie. Just deflections.

I'm not a loyalist to any candidate, I'm a loyalist to ideas.

That said, how are they coming up with that number? I've perused through a few of his donors and found only Republican or Libertarian people and PACs.

So I guess the defense would be "it's not real" ?

This also brings up an issue I don't ever see addressed: no one from outside a candidate's voting region should be allowed to donate to their campaign.

Why reposting stuff that has been shown, in this same exact threat, to apparently be false?

Scrooster,

Kentucky is a unique state. It is still a door to door press the flesh type electorate. Crafts wife was the front runner for Governor till she let the national ad folks run the campaign and went straight to the bottom with their teacher ad. Purple haired liberal teachers on TV did not play well in a state full of elderly and conservative teachers.

Say what you will about Massie, but don't be surprised if he does better come voting day. DJT carried KY more than he did AL or MS, but no matter who Massie is taking money from, he is cagy like a fox and may see something in the locals he can win with.

Yikes girl,

Posting news from Looney Loomer requires deduction in credibility points.

Come on, dude! Who you think we should believe?

The “Federal Elections Commission”, or an awesome tweeter with cool sirens in his/her/its postings?

Personally, I'm indifferent on Massie. I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other.

That said, if I were a supporter of his, I'd welcome the donations to his campaign. Why wouldn't his supporters welcome the money?

As an independent thinker, however, I have issues with things like this in general. I consider it election interference to donate to a candidate that does not support your values, or to donate to candidate for no reason other than to either help or screw over an entirely different candidate. I don't know what you could even do about it though.

Truth doesn’t matter much to the most ardent Trump loyalists.

Even when a falsehood is pointed out they never change. It’s wild. The tactic is usually shift quickly to something else usually equally as silly. Deflections are a form of defense mechanism.


I mostly agree with this.

But you have to be willing to admit that this is identical on both sides. Except the equally silly deflections the left employs are usually accompanied with an accusation of racism or misogynism. Other than that, it's identical.

Truth, and for folks actually turning up to vote, they are a solid 25% to 33% in an election. problem is, that is not enough to carry the majority. If the Fake MAGA folks (Ronnie was real MAGA) keep calling respected Republicans in the state RiNO's, that is a sure fire way to get a majority vote from OG R's and OG KY DixieCrats.

Truth, like the Senate race, they are smooching DJT butt in their ads, would not be a shock for OG R's to vote anybody else. Barr pumps his DJT ties, but behind the scenes the scuttle is DJT could care less about Barr. KY is a sate where it can bite him in the backside come voting day.

Without a welfare state we wouldn't have illegals. You claim to be MAGA so shouldn't that bother you? It obviously doesn't because you're MIGA not MAGA

"Conservatives" bashing Massie at every turn is something I never thought I'd see less than just two years ago.

Absolutely fricking wild. He's EVERYTHING that hardcore Trump supporters thought Trump would be just a little more than a year ago.

Massie, is an idealist, which is why he's basically an ineffective member of congress, unless we factor in his ability to derail many things that most conservatives (or Trump loyalists) want.

Idealists have almost no ability to compromise. They refuse to accept a big win if it means conceding a small loss in the process. They refuse to trade five dollars for four dollars.

While there is a lot of infighting among republicans and conservative podcasters, MAGA is not going anywhere.

You'll realize that if the democrats take back the house and/or senate later this year. They'll start the war cries of more impeachments, packing the court, ending the filibuster, etc. and those screams will continue right on up to early 2028. At that point, along with the aforementioned screaming, our newsfeeds will be filled with G Newsome, K Harris, Mayor Pete, AOC, etc. and we'll start seeing TV ads for those people as well. We will be reminded of who the real enemy is, and MAGA will galvanize again.

At that point you'll realize that MAGA never went anywhere.
