Oh look, Conservatives sowing more doubt and mistrust because they can't handle it when faced with how unpopular they are.
Quelle surprise.
Sowing like planting seeds not sewing like creating a garment
But now that I think about it they both kinda work... sewing the threads of lies.
You know, I looked at that and knew it looked wrong but brain couldn't figure out why.
Thanks!
Instead of a seamstress, we've got a memestress.
Also not sure what it means to quelle surprise.
It's French for what a surprise
I also have no clue. Though Quelle in German is a spring, or source.
Yes I’m familiar with the German word Quelle. All bottled carbonated water in Germany seems to come from one Quelle or another.
I’m thinking they were going for the English word “quell”?
quell /kwĕl/
transitive verb
To put down forcibly; suppress.
"Police quelled the riot."
To pacify; quiet.
"finally quelled the children's fears."
To take the life of; to kill.
Similar: kill
Perhaps some leading election deniers are motivated by a psychological defense mechanism, but I think that many realize the strategic benefit. The members of the public who are convinced that Democrats steal elections will vote Republican. They'll also be more willing to accept a Republican refusing to leave office after losing an election, if things come to that.
Anyone voting Republican after 2017 is a lost cause. No matter what happens they are voting R. Save your breath and sympathy.
Anyone who still supports HitlerPig is as much a traitor and Nazi as he is. If you don't like hearing that, atop being a traitor and a Nazi.
I disagree. While I will never forgive those voters, I don't think most of them are lost causes. They've been manipulated by the largest, most well-funded misinformation and propaganda campaign ever waged against the American people.
Exercising even the smallest amount of critical thinking skills protects oneself against most of it, but no one is completely immune to misinformation.
Sure buddy I'm sum it up for you. "Two Trump Elections." But keep turning the other cheek. This time Lucy won't pull the football. She promised. 🙄
I'm not sure how that's related to what I wrote.
