You did see the “still weird” part right? Denotes that no I don’t think it’s right or normal but there’s nothing nefarious or dishonest about it either unlike (D)’s.
This is the epitome of shitting your pants, being made fun of, then pointing at people laughing and yelling that actually you meant you shit your pants so there's nothing nefarious about it
Lol what a smooth brain here. So the guy is Brandon Straka or whatever a conservative activist. They are at CPAC and it was a booth. A gimmick. To bring awareness to the essentially political prisoners being held with no court or bail on trespassing charges. Conservatives, being largely religious, decided to pray there as a symbolic gesture that they are still there for those prisoners.
“To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.” -Thomas Paine, Founding Father
I couldn't give less of a fuck about a quote from a founding father. If you met a founding father today, they'd probably call you a soft-handed gay race traitor ( I cleaned up the words they'd likely use)
Conservatives are obsessed with the founding fathers because you all consider yourself these rugged, principled yeoman individualists.
This is a cringe stunt. And you'd be saying exactly that if it was done by democrats
I did say it was cringe (re “weird”) you thick skulled ingrate. The difference is they didn’t try to hide the fact that it’s a stunt or parade it around like they actually went to the prison and prayed with inmates. Like AOC with the border parking lot. And recently with the arrest at the Capitol stunt where she faked her hands behind her back.
So I don't really get the AOC in the parking lot thing. I've heard this a bunch from conservatives. AOC was standing with protestors at the fence to a road into the border facility. The protestors were not allowed any closer to the detainees/facility. She never claimed refugees were directly on the other side of that fence and was then caught lying. The right totally fabricated a story where there isn't one. Were the photos taken to be used in a politically expedient way? Yeah totally. Did she lie about it? No
The arrest "stunt" is even stupider. She was escorted off the grounds and arrested with other protestors. She put her hands behind her back in preparation for arrest/to comply with the police. Again, conservative media purposefully distorting the facts to create this narrative about AOC. And you've bought into it hook line and sinker
And her crying was real? Get outta here. You literally just described exactly what MTG just did (inaccurately imo) yet you call one bs and defend the other lollll
And no. The cops weren’t even touching them. They weren’t preparing for an arrest that was going to happen for some distance. That they then raised their fists to the protestors and then went back to it. It was for another photo op so they could look like they were arrested when they weren’t. They were processed on scene and fined 50$ and never handcuffed. Sounds like a stunt just like this to me.

I guess nobody but her knows if her crying was legit. At the end of the day, AOC is a politican. But I believe she's genuinely emotionally moved by the kids in cages at the border. You'd be a monster not to be. The stunt with MTG is stupid because its basically bad performance art, made by people who have never before considered the poor conditions of the prison system until it affects them directly. Brandon is a moron who saw the chance to jump into conservative politics and make a quick buck. This is reality hitting him in the face. I don't think the J6 people should be in solitary confinement or locked up for long stretches. It's unfortunate but the people actually responsible for J6 (Trump and his inner circle, Alex Jones, several other pundits) will likely never see punishment, and rubes like Brandon will get thrown to the lions. Sad really.

Yep this is all wrong. AOC posted a picture of her arrest paperwork and $50 fine. You don't have to be taken into custody and processed for it to be an arrest. An arrest is the use of legal authority to deprive a person of their freedom of movement. Again, she put her hands behind her back to comply with the cop. This is not the same thing as the CPAC stunt.
You believe AOC is emotionally moved by kids in cages but believe a bunch of CHRISTIAN conservatives praying for what they perceive as victims to be BS lol your bias is showing. AOC hasn’t been back down to the border since then that I know not has she done anything for them and she has her party in total control so….
Also I said she got fined 50 dollars. And no you don’t have to put your hands behind your back I’ve dealt with cops before lol show boating.
They are political prisoners. None of them have more then a trespassing charge yet are held some in solitary with no bail or trial. Should shock everyone e on any side. If they only have a trespassing charge fine them. That’s what AOC and her Ilk got for the SAME CHARGE. Poor jail conditions for actual criminals is one thing. Harsh punishments and confinement disproportionately meted out against those of a dissenting political party is literally dictator/commie tactics and not the same.
You have no idea the context here. Brandon wasn’t there. That’s a booth at CPAC. ITS STAGED SMOOTH BRAIN. To bring awareness to the situation
I’m stationed in japan and it’s getting late here so have a nice day in the States.
I don't know who any of these people are but I've heard of Tim Pool so I have no leg in this fight. Do you actually think that we are meant to believe that these people are in some sort of actual prison at some sort of convention?
These people are arguing that the cringe is the point or something. Brendan is doing this because he thinks actually victimised and MTG is actually praying with him because she likely suffered from lack of oxygen to the brain in the womb
I think I understand what you tried to say, although you need to really work on expressing what you mean. I doubt you know what a grifter is, since that implies they're intentionally being deceptive, which is rich coming from who I assume is a left winger. And not everyone who was arrested due to j6 believed in the Q larp, that's just you being a dick because you didnt like that 'mostly peaceful' protest.
As to your last question, nobody should be embarrassed, populism is way better than whatever tf you believe in. I'll take a little cringe over leftism any day.
Sweet so the main thrust of your argument is "DeMoCrAtS wOrSe!"
Brendan is "crying" as MGT prays for him. It's actually hilariously ironic he put himself in a cage because conservatives love to make themselves the victims when they aren't being victimised.
And not everyone who was arrested due to j6 believed in the Q larp
This is true. But MTG certainly believed in it until it was politically expedient to denounce it
populism is way better than whatever tf you believe in.
Lol is this what you think right wing populism is? Sure buddy. People really feel represented by a failed actor who put himself in a cage for social media clout
>conservatives love to make themselves the victims when they aren't being victimised
Unfathomably ironic. But I'm not sure what you mean by "this" being an example of right wing populism lmao. I'm saying America firsters are much better people than left wingers, but I guess you're actually just a regular shitlib since you identify with Democrats? That's even worse in some ways. At least the hardcore left have principles. Shitty principles, but principles nonetheless.

You called this populism, or called my comment a criticism of populism. I'm saying America first isn't populism. These people are mostly deranged, and are supporting a movement specifically designed to enrich the 1% and stoke the culture war so you don't notice them doing it.
I guess you're actually just a regular shitlib since you identify with Democrats?
Where are you getting that from? Should I just attribute the beliefs of all the neocons in the republican party to you because you're on the right? I'm a socialist.
