It's encouraging to see the right wing-o-sphere taking a moment to absorb this information, pause in self-reflection, think about the rhetoric they use, and vow to assess more carefully any information that causes them cognitive dissonance, rather than immediately leaping to instant conspiracies.

Twitter: Where nothing is too stupid to post.

Does anyone else think this sounds fishy that police officers are doing a "priority well-being check" at 2:27 a.m. just as someone is breaking into the house with a hammer? I don't know but it smells like Jussie Smollett to me.

There’s this thingy called 9-1-1. Comes in useful when a crazed, violent zealot thinks your head is a nail.

 

[cow451]

Like that’s going to convince anyone. And by anyone, I mean conspiracy theorists. I’m sure they’ll claim that that the call is fake.

It was a perfect call.

I was under the impression Pelosi lived in a gated, closed neighborhood. (And I thought it was the one a few years back where the neighborhood org that owned the private street failed to pay their taxes and someone else bought it at the Sheriff's auction. It may have just been a similar enclosed block.)

That was what my understanding was as well.

I was also originally thinking that ranking house and senate members had security provided to them (but read up on it and found out that since Nancy was in DC, the security wouldn't have been at her residence at the time it occurred)

The other part that I was kind of surprised about was that he had to physically call 911... Usually people with that kind of money, at the very least, have some sort of home security system that automatically calls responders during a break-in...but it's possible that he forgot to arm the security system. My grandpa would occasionally forget when he was Paul's age.

American politics has always been a blood sport. It’s been worse. Before the Civil War, Mass. Congressman Charles Sumner was beaten senseless in the House chamber by a pro-slavery South Carolina congressman. But still, it’s a national disgrace that this horrible, primitive, wretched behavior is being repeated in the 21st century.

Also Burr vs Hamilton.

My “good, conservative Christian” relatives all wish it had been Nancy. But I’m sure tomorrow they’ll all be jumping on the “fake news” bandwagon, because some far right pundit will tell them to believe it.

Yeah, but during the Civil War nobody questioned that slavery existed. Now you have tens of millions of people believing things that are factually untrue. Some of whom inevitably will be angry enough to act on them.

Look into the history of Bleeding Kansas. And even today you have people who believe Jefferson Davis was captured in drag, despite two of the Union cavalrymen who captured him stating the claim was false. During the John Adams administration, there were those who believed Jefferson and his party were bent on revolution. Unfortunately, misinformation and violence is nothing new in US history. There does seem to be times that it's more psychotic than others.

I don’t think they even need to wait for it to come to them from any talking heads anymore. They’ve already been primed to look at the world this way. Everything that happens is just a piece of a larger conspiracy they’ve uncovered.

Sad way to approach reality.

To be fair that kind of easily debunked false flag op is more a Right Wing/Jacob Wohl/Putin move than a lefty’s move.

Is this how pro-life looks to the right wing?

Next thing you’re gonna claim is that Sherman wasn’t retreating to the Sea Amanda the Cherokee Americans weren’t just taking a road trip during spring break.

In the months before police accused him of attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Friday morning, David DePape had been drifting further into the world of far-right conspiracies, antisemitism and hate, according to a [LA] Times review of his online accounts.

In a personal blog that DePape maintained, posts include such topics as “Manipulation of History,” “Holohoax” and “It’s OK to be white.” He mentioned 4chan, a favorite message board of the far right. He posted videos about conspiracies involving COVID-19 vaccines and the war in Ukraine being a ploy for Jewish people to buy land.

DePape’s screeds included posts about █████, an unfounded theory that █████ █ ██████ ███ █ █████████ ███████ ██████████ ███ ██████ ███ █ ███████ █████████ ██████ ██ ███ █████ ████ █ █ ████ ██████ ██ █ █████ █ █ █████████ ███████.

DePape’s daughter, Inti Gonzalez, told The Times that her father wrote the blog. She said that she and her mother were reeling from the news that DePape had been arrested in connection with the attack on Paul Pelosi.

“I’m a little shocked,” she said, “but not really that shocked, in all honesty.”

DePape followed a number of conservative creators online, including Tim Pool, Glenn Beck, DailyWire+ and the Epoch Times.

In another [post], he called “equity” a leftist dog whistle “for the systematic oppression of white people” and “diversity” a “dog whistle for the genocide of the white race.” In others, he posted separate videos questioning the Holocaust and alleging Jewish bankers were responsible for Hitler’s rise to power.

DePape posted videos to Facebook by MyPillow Chief Executive Mike Lindell saying that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, according to reports.

He also linked to sites with claims about the deadliness of COVID-19 vaccines.

Cognitive dissonance runs deep in parts of my family…

 

[zelosravioli]

About DePape, a public nudity activist, the news reporter here says says about DePapes recent residence, "... his posts stand in stark contrast to the home in Berkleys ashby neighborhood the home strewed with signs saying BLM and peace.."?? True or not, at least the TV anchor was honest about that being a contradiction ...

Maybe his mental disorder is characterized by extreme mood shifts that spill over into conflicting political rant.

Maybe I should reach convenient conclusions about political rants and the alleged, obvious associations some like to concoct:

This gesture ( for ex)shows a certain political persuasion fits an obvious, uniform mindset:

What? Can you translate all that left wing lingo intonacual English?
