    Why is “doxxing” even a thing when we are talking about supposed public officials?

    Aren’t we paying for these motherfuckers? Why do they get to remain anonymous while they walk around kidnapping and murdering Americans?

      supposed public officials?

      An overly generous moniker. Call them by their real names. Brownshirts, fascist pigs, gestapo. Public official doesn’t capture their nature or function.

      Why do they get to remain anonymous while they walk around kidnapping and murdering Americans?

      Because they are the criminal thug caste of the criminal gang that seized power illegally in your country. Your military is breaking their oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.

      You now live in a gangster’s paradise. A shithole country. A no go zone.

        Your military is breaking their oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.

        Not just our military, but every politician, of both stripes.

        The military really hasn’t stepped over the line yet, or at least not that far. They have been openly reminded by several ex-military members of Congress that they must refuse illegal orders, and MAGA made a big deal out of it, so nobody can say they didn’t understand. So when the moment comes when they are asked to fire on American citizens, then we’ll find out where they really stand.

        But the politicians have had many, many opportunities to honor their oaths to protect America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and they have woefully fallen short of that promise, both MAGAS and Democrats.

        MAGA represents the biggest national security threat in the history of this country. Even the Civil War was only political. Today we are fighting an international organization of mobsters who have targeted our government for the sole reason of mercilessly and ruthlessly exploiting us in every possible way.

        Trump is doing to America what he did to his Casinos - suck every bit of profit out of it, leave the empty shell behind, and stick every one else with the bill. He’s done it several times before, so he’s good at it.

        And the politicians are allowing it.

      These psychos used to get irrationally pissed off at people wearing masks, who were only trying to protect themselves and others from a deadly disease, but they don’t say a word about these Jackals wearing masks to abuse their fellow citizens.

        It’s quite interesting to see what really tips these conservative Karens into a blind fury.

        I remember hearing them constantly bitch about seeing people in their own cars wearing masks. Of course they have no context, they just thought that was soy boys being total pussies or overly compliant or whatever the fuck.

        They’d bitch that they couldn’t understand people in masks. Of course you could usually hear people if you bothered to listen, but these bitchy Karens were upset that people were even acknowledging that there was a pandemic. They’d rather that everyone had just engaged in the same delusion Donvict wanted to engage in, which was to just ignore it for economic reasons in order to support Donvict…

        And now - after all the years where they concern-trolled about “government overreach” and “tyrannical government” they are just fine with the tyranny being done by people in masks.

          upset that people were even acknowledging that there was a pandemic.

          I think you hit the nail on the head here. For a lot of people, a “just universe fallacy” is how they need to navigate the world for it’s the only way situations like a pandemic make sense. The idea, that anyone, anywhere, at any time, can befall tragic circumstances for no reason at all, is tantamount to an existential crisis. Instead, doubling down on the fiction that “there’s no real threat so quit reminding me that there is one” is the only way to keep it together. It was never really about the masks themselves.

            Yeah, I think that’s why lots of them spent a lot of time and energy on conspiracy theory and “doing their own research” (meaning, trading tall tales with people equally clueless about critical thinking).

            The notion that disease can just happen - these people also deny evolution so they struggle with this notion for sure - is anathema and threatens their world view. So of course it had to be a conspiracy - China is covering up Wuhan stuff, Fauci did it with “gain of function” research - and that’s when they acknowledge the disease at all. When not doing endless arguing over the source they’d downplay the entire thing. It was “only” the old, it was “only” those with preconditions, and we all just need to “open everything back up” and “get back to work”, and so on, even if millions have to die, because we must make the line go up.

            In addition to that, they’d spend lots of time complaining about “the clot shot” and instead do nearly anything but acknowledge that the experts actually know anything and have public safety in mind. Nope, everything is a conspiracy and experts are not really experts, so preventative things like social distancing, avoiding in-person things, doing remote learning and remote work, masking up and of course, the vaccine that was a modern-day moon shot is a big plot to get conservatives or whatever.

            So instead, they are resorting to bullshit medicine like HCQ and horse dewormer. Once the stupid train left the station, that’s where it was bound to end up.

            I think what really, really broke their brains was the fact that they want to be able to follow and repeat narratives that Faux and Taco make up for them, and those are usually entirely unshakable. Except for something like the pandemic, combined with watching the market and job numbers go into freefall. No amount of spinning from Taco OR Bullshit Mountain was going to change that bedrock truth.

            And that infuriated not only a whole lot of redcaps, it drove Taco absolutely nuts. If there is something that the conservatives just cannot stand, it’s when liberals are proven correct, and that was happening nearly every day during the peak of Covid.
