Hi, Joe
Wondering if you're aware of the claim going around now that the Capitol breach on the 6th was merely a warmup, a test of the security in place, or a distraction by Trump supporters to lower everyone else's guard for the REAL coup and installation of Trump on what used to be inauguration day. I'm not sure I have all the details or characterizations correct. I heard it from a friend in passing, and I probably won't look into it more because just the part I heard made my head hurt.
Help me, Joe. Help me understand this delusion that's gripped so many people on the right. Do you believe there's going to be such a coup? I'm 100% certain no such thing is going to take place, and I'm having a really hard time grasping why anyone would think it's going to happen, especially after years of repeated claims that this or that takedown was imminent. I know I posted about it mockingly several times, but can you blame me? I lost count of how many times QAnon folks I know posted about getting their popcorn ready to "enjoy the show." There was never a show, Joe. I have yet to see a show.
I'm still waiting for those scenes of "Luciferian" Democrats being hauled off in handcuffs to be strung up at Gitmo. I'm still waiting for all those *sealed indictments* to lead to something shocking. When are those tribunals happening?? I'm still waiting for JFK, Jr. to reveal himself and take his rightful place in government. I was told that was going to happen on the 4th of July. Three years ago. And then again two years ago. I was promised a show, Joe. I was told I should trust The Plan. Please tell me what that means and why discussions about it continued to be an obsession despite the fact that predicted events never, ever materialized.
I think this is the crux of where you and I had our breakdown. You know the old saying, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I may have let myself be fooled more than once, but I'm not about to get taken repeatedly and still show up for more of the same nonsense. I just couldn't continue to watch you, as one of my oldest friends, hang in there with the lie peddlers and not say anything. When I saw your post claiming Pelosi hadn't been seen because she was taken into custody, when she was very clearly walking around and doing business as usual, I couldn't contain myself. Can you really blame me? It was right on the heels of those claims you were posting about Wayfair trafficking kids under the guise of selling cabinets.
Every other week, it was something. Some 'fishy' bit being circulated in the form of memes that came to nothing whatsoever. The only thing that was actually fishy was the regularity with which these rumors popped up and the fact that they always seemed to originate with a handful of FB accounts that looked in no way legit and were basically meme factories cranking out misinformation. If people who took to calling themselves researchers actually wanted to do something that mattered, they should have put their self-touted skills to work investigating the source of those memes and who was actually behind those accounts.
