I'll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was "Kitty."

Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of "if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!" or there's some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.

JD Vance was forced in as the Trump VP pick by the Heritage Foundation so that when Trump either dies or stops cooperating with them on Project 2025, they already have a man in place to take over. And that's likely the reason for the assassination attempts.

If Trump dies, they get Vance (a true believer...unlike Trump who just wants the power to stay out of prison) at the top of the ticket.

And we get some kind of Peter Theil libertarian theocracy.

Vance's flexibility to bend in any direction at any time is just.... he makes lindsey graham look principled.

I hate how the theocratic right has successfully co-opted libertarian in the US to mean alt-republican.

it makes me wonder about a LOT of libertarians, normally I thought they'd recoil from trump but some seem strangely comfortable with him.

makes me wonder about their principles.

[-] Narauko@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Even my local libertarian candidates have been hard right theocrats recently, like they failed to secure a promising outlook for a Republican run and just though libertarian was the same thing. A few are probably even too far right for the Republican ticket.

What part of "don't tread on me" includes treading on bodily autonomy and LGBTQ rights? I am starting to think some people don't actually have principles, and don't understand words too good neither.

I genuinely believe at this point that Trump wants out but they wont let him, I think the first assassination attempt rattled the shit out of him. He went along as a willing figurehead, he was never a true believer. He was told they would be behind him and protect him as long as he did what he was told, they would . Now he has realised too late that a figurehead is also a lightning rod but that his only way out is through and they will knock him off or throw him to the wolves if he rocks the boat.

I believe the official narrative is JD Vance was Donald Trump Jr's shitbrained idea. Trump Jr and Vance personally both roll with the same "intellectual dark web" theories, neo-eugenics and such.
