Reality Check

MAGA, Flat Earthers, Young Earth Creationists and other reality deniers hate me because I show how their fantasies that make them feel special aren't real.

I bet creationists really wish we had discovered how to harness electricity without figuring out how lightning works. Then they could have claimed "Electricity can only be made with intelligence! Lightning is clearly God enacting his miracles in the modern day! Proof of God!"

Trump is everything MAGA wishes Obama had been. Blatantly corrupt, scandal-ridden, sexually deviant... all the things they could have used to say "This is what happens when you let a black man be president!" But with Obama, the most they could complain about was a tan suit.

Years from now, I will have the privilege of telling my grandkids that I was never MAGA. That I saw through Trump from the start. That I was on the right side of history. And I won't be lying. That's something 50% of the country can't claim. It's my privilege.

The people saying "It's a fact that Somalis are all inbred and low IQ" have a few things in common. They tend to be failures. They're not who they wanted to be. Even the rich ones can't think of any talent they actually possess. Their whiteness is all they have.

I bet if in response to Pete Hegseth's demands for more "Patriotic" headlines a journalist had said "So you expect us to lie to our viewers? We can't all be Fox News!" Hegseth would have, with a straight face, responded "Well why not?!"

I was at a small party with friends. Two of them were women. While in a room getting drunk, some of us passed out, including the women. They were dressed to party. They were drunk & unconscious in a room full of men. They were fine. Because nobody there was a fucking rapist.

Since I didn't have enough typespace to clarify my point: Women being attractive, drinking, wearing revealing clothes and hanging out with men doesn't cause rape. Rapists do.

Republicans' stance on education is obvious. To them, education is for the wealthy. The well connected. Kids born into privilege. Poor children are meant to be laborers. If they go to school, it should be for religious indoctrination rather than gaining knowledge or skills.

Calling it now. Illhan Omar will be released and the charges dropped because the DOJ will find nothing, still try to deport her and get humiliated in court again. Trump will throw a tantrum. MAGA will say it was rigged. They'll go on X and say this proves the system is corrupt.

MAGA has a twisted view of rape. Fo them, a Youth Pastor can't be a child rapist, only Trans people. A White businessman can't be a rapist, but a poor black man can. If a married white pastor forces himself on a woman, they'll reason "Well it isn't rape, because rape is what rapists do!"

The public execution is a stepping stone. They tell you it's fine because it's a mass shooter, but that's not the point. The point is they are trying to normalize the concept so when they start publicly executing political dissidents to make an example, there is less backlash.

Donald Trump didn't bother campaigning for the Nobel Peace Prize this year, but you know part of him was still hopeful. And now the Prize has gone to another woman of color. One who served on the very ICC he wants dismantled. He and his MAGA followers are likely humiliated. Again.

The Cornell 7's defenders are all conservative. Obviously. Most of their reasoning is "Well they're rich and wanted to bang her. What were they supposed to do? Not get what they want?" That's it. The same logic they use for the Epstein list.

Basic Human Rights have never been profitable. Especially not for the wealthy and powerful. That's why corporations fight against them. That's why Republicans and Centrist Democrats fight against them.

Democrats have the advantage. Voters are telling them "We want progressive Democrats in power!" But legacy news owned by conservatives is telling them "Don't listen! Voters want CENTRIST Democrats!" And now the Democrats who won their primaries are listening to the legacy media. Every. Damn. Time.

If you're still confused on which side is more like the Nazis, ask yourself: During which side's primaries are candidates afraid to say "The good guys won WWII" because they will anger their base and lose the primary? Hint: It's not Democrats.

Ever notice, with all the trad-wife influences admitting they were in abusive relationships and denouncing their former message, you never see a single feminist influencer going "Actually I shouldn't vote and we should all be trad wives!"?

Trump wouldn't be trying to ban free speech if we were just calling him a tyrant and a dictator. He likes that. It makes him feel powerful. It's more so because we are calling him stupid, weak, embarrassing, incompetent and weird. And we have receipts to prove that we are right.

I have a new favorite quote to think of when flat earthers, YECs, anti-vaxxers and MAGAts call me "f*ggot" "low IQ" or whatever. "Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them." -Jean Cocteau

Regular people who don't believe in their conspiracy don't implicitly have those things. There's no community of fellow "globers" or "vaxxers" giving assurance and patting each other on the back. You don't feel special knowing astronomy or taking a vaccine. You're just ORDINARY. And they fear that.

For Flat Earthers and Anti,Vaxxers, they claim to be the smartest, most free thinking people on Earth. But they are truly dogmatic. They fear facts and being proven wrong because if they are forced to admit it, they have a lot to lose. Community, ego, a whole worldview, etc.

Funny how every "brave whistleblower" doctor who "comes out with the truth about vaccines" goes on to sell expensive consultations, paid appearances at conspiracy venues & overpriced ivermectin. Making more money than they ever did as a doctor. It's almost like it's a grift...

There's a quote from One Piece that sums it up "There's no such thing as a magical cure for every disease. That's why we have doctors." Yet we have suckers in this day and age who believe they've found that panacea in Ivermectin. No evidence will convince them otherwise.

Public Schools teach the facts about the Confederacy. They were losers. Traitors. Backwater conservative Hicks who couldn't last 5 years against the progressive union. They weren't "brave", they weren't fighting for any noble cause. They wanted to keep slaves. It's all facts.

Turbo Cancer doesn't exist. It's a myth made up by anti-vax priests to sell ivermectin. There's a reason you only ever hear about it from anti-vaxxers in "trust me bro" stories. If you believe it's real, you're an idiot. No disease is ever named "turbo" "super" or "dynamite"

I WAS worried that the Republican efforts to suppress the vote and rig the midterms was proving effective. Then I heard Trump say "I'll pay everyone if my candidates win" and "The war will end after the midterms!" Yeah he's clearly still desperate.

We didn't put a man on the moon by denying science and demonizing immigrants. Many of the people who worked on the moon mission would have been derided as "DEI hires" today. Nobody who "learned on the streets" had anything to do with it.

The reason Donald Trump wants to pass the SAVE Act is so he can delete Democrats from the voter rolls and manipulate the midterms. He knows otherwise he's more screwed than Charlie Kirk in an honest debate with an adult.

A reminder that RFK Jr has been desperately seeking a link between vaccines and Autism and has had the entire CDC at his disposal for over a year to help him but he just can't find it. Meanwhile he gets pissy every time a new study proves him wrong.

If there was even a shred of credible evidence or studies linking vaccines to Autism, RFK Jr would amplify it and post it all over the CDC website. He's salivating waiting for such a thing. But he can't find it so all he can claim is "It hasn't been DISproven", which it mostly has.

Scientific studies consistently show that liberals are more complex intellectual thinkers while conservatives are more primal and dogmatic. As if that wasn't made obvious by conservatives villainizing education and screaming that all you need is "Faith in Jesus and a whole lotta gumption!"

Calling it now. Trump will soon start increasing tariffs on Spain and putting on all kinds of pressure thinking he is being subtle while most of the rest of us are going "They're NOT going to give you their World Cup trophy! Get over it!"

Trump is in panic mode. He never thought he'd have to keep his promises or appeal to voters ever again because he thought the SAVE Act would have passed by now and he could seize control of elections and rig them as he pleased. That's not happening and he's shitting himself.

No matter what Trump and the Heritage Foundation do and say, this is a Secular Nation. Not a Christian one. Once we are rid of Trump, all their grandstanding and dedications of our country to religious dogma will all amount to nothing.

We are not a Christian Nation that allows Secularism. We are a Secular Nation that allows all religions, Christianity included but not given special treatment . If you want proof, look at the Establishment Clause of the 1st Ammendment and the wording of the Treaty of Tripoli.

We effectively have a caste system in the United States, where you are either born into the ultra-rich nobility or spend your life in the dirt poor lower class.

Ever notice that the only comedians ever to make jokes about creeping on underage girls are right wing comedians? Not trans comedians. Conservative Right Wing Comedians.

I kind of want Republicans to succeed in getting Trump to run for a third term so that they can then fail to rig a victory for him and he loses in a landslide to Gavin Newson, AOC, Barack Obama or anyone his pride can't accept losing to. #MAGATears

Make no mistake. The ultimate goal of all this Republican gerrymandering is to gain enough seats to make a Constitutional Ammendment that allows Trump to run for a third term in 2028, and insure he only needs 30% of the popular vote to win.

Seeing who I trigger with truth: Viruses are real and cause disease There is no evidence that the 2020 election was stolen America is a secular nation. It was never a Christian Nation There is no evidence of a global flood in Earth's history The moon landing wasn't faked

It must suck being #Antivax, having to shell out hundreds to thousands of dollars for ivermectin and shady "health supplements" and consultations with anti-vax quacks all to ultimately be just as vulnerable to disease as you were before.

Calling it now. The Christian Nationalist Republican controlled house and congress will soon move to repeal the 19th Ammendment and strip women of their right to vote and the Supreme Court majority will be on their side.

We can't rely on what's legal or established law to stop Trump. The Supreme Court will always side with Trump and his agenda to remain in power indefinitely. If we want to avoid a third term for Trump, we need to get creative and sneaky.

Republicans keep trying to attribute Nazism and the Confederacy to the Left. Yet all the people in America flying Nazi and Confederate flags are proud Republicans. Not one of them identifies as a leftist.

Why is anyone surprised Trump thought it was a good idea to post a picture of himself as Jesus? He's literally had preachers calling him "the Son of Man" the "Messiah of America" and overall claiming he's divine. Of COURSE that would go to his head!
