Three related things I dislike about Trumpism:
1. MAGA lies all the time, about everything, sometimes for no reason.
2. Some believe the lies without reservation.
3. Others who once understood the truth can be dissuaded from it after years of hearing the lies repeated. J6 was just a "protest"!

Dunno who needs to hear this, but Costco has Coke in their food court now or soon (if not already). Cup on the left I got Monday, and cup on the right I got today with my hot dog.

Anyone who believes this would also believe that the Biden administration was in on the coverup. It's Elon Musk's pitch. Again, funny to see Musk turn on Trump, but I firmly don't believe more unhinged conspiracy theories is the answer to too many conspiracy theories.

I agree.

It's amusing to see Trump devoured by the conspiracy theorists he encouraged for years, but this just isn't sound thinking.

I mused that it's not surprising that an AI trained on the site would respond this way, and it doubled-down. When I noted that grok itself called it a toxic trope, it decided that it's good, actually. Grok's just (((noticing))).
