On the plus sides, the reactions indicate that even MAGA know their guy got his click cleaned. They are chugging all the beat Conspiracy Copium MAGA can churn out as fast as it can be theorized.

Well, still some denial, too.

 

This is the problem for Republicans that they have been completely captured by right-wing media; they can no longer accept basic facts without having them “contextualized” in a way that reinforces their previous beliefs.

It can’t be that Kamala won the debate, it has to be that there’s a conspiracy and she cheated.

It can’t be that immigrants can become part of a community, they have to be savages stealing and eating dogs and cats.

It can’t be that the effects of human activities can harm the earth, it has to be that climate change is a hoax.

When you lose the ability to accept new facts, especially ones that don’t agree with your worldview, you consign yourselves to conspiracy theories and alternative facts.

When you grow up believing you have a Big Buddy in the Sky who does miracles, changes things for his followers, forgives you for your mistakes and punishes others for theirs and clearly likes you and yours best, you don't actually ever live in a reality based world.

I was pondering last night about what policies that Republicans support are ones that Jesus would support despite so many evangelicals flocking to Trump's banner.
 
How long do you guys think it will take for some huge Trump supporter in Springfield to start murdering dogs and accusing Haitian immigrants of doing it?
 
Gift link to WSJ explainer off the Haitians eating pets conspiracy that so thoroughly derailed Trump at the debate and surprised a lot of viewers who were unaware of the social media phenomenon:


“… The pet rumors started with a Facebook post, citing the poster’s “neighbor’s daughter’s friend,” according to local police.

The original poster didn’t cite firsthand knowledge of an incident, Springfield Police said Monday. The post claimed that a pet cat had been found hanging from a branch at a Haitian neighbor’s home after being carved up to be eaten. Whether the neighbor exists and the status of any such neighbor’s citizenship is unknown. …

Debate moderator David Muir told Trump that the network had checked with Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck, who said there were no reports of pets being harmed by immigrants.

When again told it wasn’t true, Trump said: “But the people on television say their dog was eaten by the people that went there.” …”
 
Q and MAGA regularly use “We the people” as a tagline or basis to claim they are an overwhelming majority …











Newsmax knows this of course, but now “We the People” means the debate stage is rigged for Democrats.
 


"... A man called Clark County law enforcement dispatchers Aug. 26, alleging four Haitians were carrying geese in their hands. The call audio does not indicate whether the geese were alive or dead, but says it happened within the city of Springfield, near the bike trail along Buck Creek, near Water Street. The audio was first posted Tuesday night on X by Donald Trump Jr.

A “call detail report” from the Clark County Communications Center documents that call. It does not indicate that law enforcement officials ever found the geese, or found the four Haitians that the caller mentioned, to confirm the truth of the report. It says law enforcement eventually suggested the caller contact the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

... Clark County Commissioner Sasha Rittenhouse said Wednesday morning that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources was unable to find any merit to the claim.

“No videos have surfaced, no pictures have surfaced, no dead geese have surfaced; there’s nothing to substantiate that it’s happening,” Rittenhouse said at County Commission’s regular meeting. ..."

Having lived on Lake Norman for over a decade, I would not mourn the geese if anyone decided to do away with a few of them. Heck, we had hunters shooting at ducks all around us every fall (wake up almost every dry morning to the boom of duck hunters in October and November). And during September, you can bag up to 15 geese a day in NC goose hunting season, if you are so inclined. I'm confident that Ohio has some sort of goose hunting season, though don't know whether it applies to the entire state or just specified areas.
