Let’s focus on the fact that this nut job said something cogent, the DOJ charges are valid if Trump admits he lost 2020.

86

u/ABHOR_pod 2d ago

Even if he didn't admit he lost the charges are valid. Everything about the election was run according to the law and the results were tallied according to the law. There is no law anywhere at all that says "If you don't like how the election ended there are certain circumstances in which it is ok to organize a violent attack on congress."

His grievances should have been settled in a court not a coup. He still wouldn't have gotten the white house back but at least he'd have one less set of felony charges going to trial right before his fourth(?) attempt at running for president.

u/Corey307 2d ago

Whenever someone tries to deny the 2020 election results I remind them that the election was certified by the Department of Homeland Security. The DHS isn’t exactly some woke liberal antifa administration, it was a right wing response to the September 11 attacks. The head of homeland security in charge of certifying the 2020 election was a Trump appointee no less.

u/Goood_Daddy 2d ago

Let's not forget all 50 states including many with republican governors and republican state admistrations certified the results and the electoral college votes.

u/garagepunk65 1d ago

It’s going to be very different this time. They aren’t going to bother with fake electors, some states are going to outright fail to certify if Harris wins them.

They have already said as much. When Trump loses, the plan is to kick it up to the Supreme Court and we will be back to a Florida situation with Bush v. Gore with the same GQP victory.

The only way to avoid this is for Harris to win in a landslide.

And it’s not like he didn’t try to settle his grievances in the courts. There was something like 60 lawsuits filed in the aftermath of the election. Trump went 0-60(ish) not winning a single one.

There was exactly 1 motion that was granted which said “yes you can have poll watchers at the counting offices”… but that was never really an issue, it was just a quick win to give them a piece of paper to wave in front of the news to say “look the courts agree with us that this is fraudulent! I have a postive opinion from a judge right here!” All of the actual suits were thrown out very quickly, almost all with prejudice.

u/MalcolmInTheMudhole 2d ago

If Trump actually believed that he won the 2020 election and there’d been a nationwide conspiracy in which thousands of people collaborated with such competence & efficiency, no actionable evidence was found… If Trump truly bought into the idea that the presidential election was “rigged,” he’s too delusional and/or unintelligent to be making decisions that affect the world.

Anyone with an ounce of thinking skill knew he lost. First of all it was the USA. Secondly, he was profoundly unpopular, has been since 2018 or earlier. Lost 5 dozen times in court. Never any evidence.

But why flippy flop on it now? His advisors are correct, everyone is sick of whiny complain "poor me I'm such a weak victim, even Joe Biden pwns my ass." Strategically, he should have just quit complaining.

The vast numbers of people who took a fall for him, Fuentes has a point. Except the big lie was so hard to swallow, not even a single district, let alone 5 whole states. He lost by the same "landslide" he beat Clinton.

u/smiama6 2d ago

Fuentes didn’t fall for anything. Republicans and Trumpers like him know exactly who Trump is. Behind closed doors they know he’s a loser and a moron. But they’ve made a fortune off of his shtick and are angry now that their livelihood is in danger because Trump himself exposed the lies.

u/Quick1711 2d ago

Trump is a brand. Their brand is in jeopardy of being lost. Therefore, their revenue is also in jeopardy of being lost.

Its the same point of Trump controlling the voting base to remove politicians from their jobs if they go against him. McCain, Cheney, Romney....it doesn't matter if their views don't directly align with yours. These were the people keeping the crazies in check.

Now, there is trailer trash in government.

It’s all very similar to the Q Anon horseshit. It was all a lie, but people pushed it because they could cash in and sell shirts, flags, books, bumper stickers and various other things.

I think it's being part of something but also being an 'individual' that stands above the normal person. They like the 'red pill' analogy because they literally want to feel like they are The One, a chosen hero of the world who can't be fooled or manipulated. And they probably wish to feel that way more strongly than the average person BECAUSE they have been easily fooled and manipulated in the past and someone giving them that feeling of seeing beyond the veil and trickery, they are no longer Just A Normal Person.

Trump always puts out multiple contradicting messages so that those that are completely uniformed might only get one version and be: ok, 'that doesn't sound so bad'

If they come across the contradiction, they can say : see?! Fake news media!

For the bath faithers (most of them at this point) they know to isolate on the message that is convenient for the moment and simply pretend the rest don't exist. If they get challenged they can choose whatever option will serve them best as the 'true' interpretation. 'Oh, you just don't get what he really means!'

Keep in mind these is no good faith arguing at this point. Only the most completely sheltered or knowingly bad faith actors are left. They do not argue to convince, but to ofuscste and by arguing for arguments sake, their completely ficticious side gains validity when argued as a legitimate position.

Watch the video here

As per original article 📰:

  • White Supremacist Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes — who notoriously dined with and entertained anti-Semitism-spouting entertainer/entrepreneur Kanye West and former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago — raged at Trump for his recent admissions that he lost the 2020 election.

A few weeks ago, Trump told reporters, in an aside at a press event, that “I got many millions more votes than I got the first time, but didn’t quite make it, just a little bit short.”

Since then he has added some caveats about “cheating,” but has made the same admission on multiple occasions.

In a rant during his podcast, Fuentes lashed out at Trump over the sacrifices of his followers and Fuentes’s own tribulations, and said Trump’s admission validates the criminal charges against him:

It’s just it’s just really sad.

And the, the, 2020 comment, it’s like, wow! That’s how pathetic it’s gotten. He’s admitting, he says, “oh, I lost by a whisker.”.

So what was the point? Like, what’s the point of any of it? You lost in 2020? Seriously? What are we even doing anymore?

Then you’re a loser! Then you’re. You’re a loser. You just lost. Then you lost to Joe Biden. You deserve to be charged! If you. If he admits that he lost, then that actually vindicates the DoD or I’m sorry, the DOJ charge against him because the charge is that he knew he lost, but he lied to defraud the people! That’s the that’s the DOJ charge.

So why did we do stop the steal? Why did anyone go to January 6th? Why is anyone sitting in jail? Why did anything bad happen to anybody? Why did everyone get censored? Why is everything bad that has happened to the people that are involved? Why did that need to happen? If you’re just going to walk it all back and say, “oh, I lost.”

Well, that would have been good to know that before 1600 people got charged! It would have been good to know that before I had all my money frozen, put out a no fly list, banned from everything, lost all banking and payment processing!

Would have been good to know that. Before I, you know, in 2017, dedicated my life to this as an 18 year old in college. Just feels like a big rip off!

And don’t get me wrong, I’m an adult. I’m not. It’s not whining. I’m not complaining about it. I’m saying you can’t say those things for that reason.

Donald Trump (00:00:03) Yeah, they do. So I figure it’s all right to call them a communist. Yeah, they call me a lot worse than I call them.

Lex Fridman (00:00:08) A lot of people listening to this, myself included, that doesn’t think that Kamala is a communist.

Donald Trump (00:00:15) I believe you have to fight fire with fire.

Lex Fridman (00:00:17) Politics is a dirty game.

Donald Trump (00:00:19) It is a dirty game. That’s certainly true.

For the record, Kamala Harris has never publicly called Trump a fascist, so again, he’s just shamelessly lying to try and justify his own despicable behavior - this inexperienced hack “interviewing” him never pushes back once against Trump’s vomit of lies and false narratives.

I know those people got manipulated. But I feel so often like, how the hell could you get manipulated by something so stupidly obvious? At what point is it your fault? This guy is obviously a liar. At some point it's not just his fault anymore. When you're breaking through a window at the Capitol because trump said there was cheating without providing evidence, it's your fault now. You're also a traitor.

They simply do not aggregate information from multiple streams like literally every single other differently inclined person does. It's really quite scary when it comes to bog standard lead eating Boomers and right wingers in total...They just do not look outside their own bubble because they've been consistently primed to think that everything other than their carnival barker huckster idols is lying or in some sort of conspiracy against them.

This is the danger of religion, particularly Christianity. You’re conditioned literally your entire life not to question, not to doubt, not to think critically and so you just don’t. You lose the ability to think for yourself. 

29

u/BonnaconCharioteer 2d ago

You don't lose it. Strangely enough, it is still there, and those who break free from those worldviews can become just as conscious and questioning as anyone else. Not only that, but they can be insightful and questioning on some issues, which is why you get people who seem otherwise smart, but are completely consumed by these situations.

I think the issue is that they must create a place in their mind for "Things that will not be questioned." And that lets them live with the cognitive dissonance of their religion. The problem is, it is easy to put other things in there, like politics. Especially when the Republican party has been trying so hard to link politics and religion, and religious leaders often do the same in the other direction.

Cool. Okay. I got ya.

Okay, now why was trump and him clearly representing all of the failings thst helped you get to this depressing life, was a solution?

Because it's better to blame the browns, the gays, the women, etc. Because you already felt that way.

They share a name, the Jr lets you know which is is next in the naming sequence. Referring to Jr as just Donald Trump or Donald John Trump is perfectly acceptable.

But you are right, he isn’t the Trump we are looking for, thus “Trump doesn’t give a fuck about anyone not named Donald J Trump” isn’t true, because even that statement is too forgiving.

My 9th grade daughter just got her list of books for this year, and in a district that has been the epicenter for recent book bans, they’re having her read Anthem.

There’s even a disclaimer on the permission slip to opt out of reading Romeo and Juliet if the parents don’t approve of its “sexual connotations.”

Tells me everything I need to know about the teacher, but since she read The Grapes of Wrath, To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Diary of Anne Frank last year, I think she’s going to have some challenging questions about Ayn Rand.

u/alohalii 2d ago

trigger a spontaneous revolution

That was not the plan. The plan was for the mob to delay the certification of the vote. Then Mike Pence was supposed to choose the fake slate of electors.

The mob succeeded in delaying the certification of the election so they were 100% successful.

Mike Pence on the other hand did not play along with the plan and certified the election with the real slate of electors thus blocking Trumps plan.

The mob attacking Congress was just one part of a larger plan. Nothing spontaneous about it.

7

u/KlingonSexBestSex 2d ago

Exactly. Pence was supposed to play along, or failing that the pressure of the mob would drive Pence to seek security and then the Secret Service would tell him to get in his armored car for his safety, then whisk him away. He could then be declared absent and the plot could proceed without him with a MAGA replacement.

But Pence wouldn't play along and when he fled the mob and the USSS agents told him to get in the car he refused, saying he didn't trust them for shit (he was afraid that getting whisked away would end with him never being seen again). He returned and finished certifying the results, thus losing trump's 'friendship' forever.

They’re more organized to steal the election this time, too. They’ve spent the years since 2020 getting loyalists into the election apparatus everywhere in this country. Everyone else has spent that same time doing exactly nothing to try to prevent a repeat of Jan. 6 and all the empty legal challenges to the election. Many Republicans in Congress will not vote to certify the election if he loses. Even if the election is called for Harris in November, nothing is guaranteed.

I'm more likely to spit on than agree with a Neo-Nazi, but I'll make an exception this time. I totally agree with him,

Really? I don't agree with him at all. I can see two interpretations in what he said. The way he ends this paragraph highlights the first:

So why did we do stop the steal? Why did anyone go to January 6th? Why is anyone sitting in jail? Why did anything bad happen to anybody? Why did everyone get censored? Why is everything bad that has happened to the people that are involved? Why did that need to happen? If you’re just going to walk it all back and say, “oh, I lost.”

It's not about the fact it was all bullshit, he knows and accepts that, he's just pissed that Trump admitted it before the election. He's pissed because it calls him out on his bullshit and makes him look like an idiot.

The other interpretation is the one most are echoing. That he actually believed it and now feels betrayed. But even if that were the case, that's bullshit. There was an overwhelming amount of evidence, confirmed in 60-some court cases that he lost, members of his organization that discuss his incompetence and admit he lost, and of course a complete lack of any evidence to support the theory other than the musings of a crack-addict that sells pillows. The only people who believe this crap are those in on the grift and the truly dumb.

u/bentreflection 2d ago

Yes i think people are misinterpreting him. He always knew it was a lie. He is angry now that Trump isn't bothering to keep lying about it because Fuentes dedicated his life to that lie and risked a lot to try and install a dictator in the United States because he thought Trump would advance his neo-nazi agenda.

He'll be back talking about how Trump is the only hope for the white race in a week.

Alex Jones does a similar schtick.

Within their respective audiences there are anti-establishment contrarians who even Trump is too establishment for, so they need to burnish their credentials as free thinking iconoclasts by occasionally saying something critical of Trump to get attention and then row it back later to keep the MAGA faithful on side.

In Florida if someone dies while you're in commission of a crime they charge the co-defendants with murder. It happens relatively frequently during home invasions. We had an ex client at my law office that died along with 3 or 4 of his friends during an attempted robbery where the homeowner gunned them down with an AK47. Homeowner was never charged and the only survivor, the dude that drove them there, got convicted of murder for each of his friends that died.

This asshole, per the laws of the state he resides in, should be charged with every death and injury resulting from his behavior.

u/NameLips 2d ago

The fascist takeover depends on a carefully constructed set of lies, a full alternate reality that has several foundational lies that all the other lies are built on.

The lie that Trump won the 2020 election is foundational. Everything else is built on it. That's why Jan 6 was justified. That's why Stop the Steal was justified. That's why everybody is willing to sacrifice their freedom and lives. It all has to have some level of internal consistency, so when they take over they can re-write the history books and pretend they all believed it was true all along.

Fuentes isn't angry at being deceived. Like most of them, he knew it was all a lie from the beginning. He was happy to play along because in his mind the end justified the means. And they'd rather have conservative fascism than liberal democracy.

But Trump is forgetting the playbook. He's worried about losing, even with the lies, so he's doing what he always does -- change his story to match his audience and hope he can get them on his side.

During the worst of Covid, we had nurses and doctors sharing that people who were dying/died from the virus were still refusing to believe that Covid was dangerous/real as they were in the process of being put on respirators to save their lives because Trump told them it wasn’t serious. They thought it had to be something else other than Covid that was killing them.

Even when some of these people were facing death, and I assume terrified, they believed what Donald Trump told them more than the health care professionals trying to save them.

That’s when I realized it was so much worse than I ever imagined.
