We used to joke around about Trump supporters drinking the Kool-Aid, but the fact of the matter is

[Snake Plissken]

it's even worse ... only 909 people died in Jonestown Guyana.

Trump’s rallies held between June 20 and September 22 have already produced over 30,000 more infections and over 700 more deaths, and that number is from almost two months ago, there will be several thousand deaths directly linked to Trump's vanity rallies when the contact tracing is completed ... far worse than Pearl Harbor, 9/11, or Jonestown.

1. It will be interesting to see how history treats this era in America

My guess the trump era will not be looked upon with glee.

[lunatica]

12. I think it'll get it's own name

Like The McCarthy Era which is how it’s referred to in history books. Most likely it will be named the Trump Era. Whatever they come up with it better be declared a serious warning to The demise of American Democracy.

15. We just have to hope it's not the opening chapter of something worse

Trump and the right-wing media have created an enormous amount of negative energy that will need to flow to ground, somehow.

[Brainfodder]

2. They injected the kool-aid over & over again over years without a thought?

Until the sources are silenced, this shit just continues, TRUTH IN REPORTING ACT is needed.

BS'n the masses for political gains, that shouldn't stand as normal.

4. This 👍

[stillcool]

8. some people have been listening...

to that crap, like ambient noise, from their cradle. An entire life-time of Fox noise, etc. stuck in their brain. Add some bible-thumpers and a broken education system and what goes in is what comes out. Brainfodder indeed!

11. I was a tween when Jonestown happened, I read Time Magazine then, and huge spread on it with pix.

I was never quite the same after coming to the conclusion then, that people were capable of such evil and following it to that level.

Was that advanced thinking for 12ish?

They have to get ya while still in naturally gullible state? Doesn't that just disqualify the whole thing?



I grew up in rural area, but not that far out, and religion never came up in our family, but I heard they're this, he's that, bantered about, the difference: NOT in negative terms, just bland generic informational conversations; not taught to hate in other words.

3. True, but I was not joking about it, though. I meant it. If he asked them to drink

poison Koolaid, they would have, even before they elected him.

6. I actually wish he would.

I know the prospect of 70,000,000 dead is horrible.

But traffic would be a dream.

They could all be “raptured” to go off into the afterlife with their messiah.

Bye!

9. Would save us a lot of reprogramming costs.

[newdayneeded]

5. I'm convinced

Once Biden does a needed nation mask mandate, the deaths will be exponentially higher with right wingers. Wear a mask and safety glasses people, let them breath their own death.

[Baked Potato]

7. They will have after-action reports and

brainstorming sessions. There will be Roger Stones and Karl Roves and all manner of rat floggers in between. They will figure out some angle for the next round. There will be hints and warning signs to heed.

[OneBlueSky]

10. by the time this is over, it will be worse than Jonestown, 9-11 and Pearl Harbor COMBINED! . . . n/t

[Illumination]

13. It just tickles me to see the love that Trump Jones has for his supporters!...

[kimbutgar]

14. I would love to see further maps of COVID infections according to voting patterns in

Communities that voted for mf45 and see if there is a correlation between voting for mf45 nad the increase in infections. We know South Dakota is ground zero now after sturgis. But those counties in PA that went for him and other states would be interesting and informative.

[Mustellus]

16. sighs.. deeply. That's what Darwin is for....

I'd talk sense into them if that was possible. Otherwise, Trump has made sure this will concentrate on his supporters. And maybe the survivors will learn to check their facts.

[Ford_Prefect]

17. Is IT what it is...Or the illusion of something seen only in a mirror?

Trump's Chosen flock only believe in what they were programmed to see. If they weren't told it is what it is then they cannot perceive it, because it doesn't' exist in the confines of their cult dogma. Therefore what is said by "outsiders" cannot be true, nor can facts which they cannot accept or measure.

I used to meet one or more every day, before COVID. They are a lost people and I fear there is no reasoning they can accept as long as they keep getting fed enough of the dogma. For what it is worth IMO this social disease has infected the whole Republican party. I do not know of one I could trust to see the difference between their delusions and critical truth like the need to mask up and to protect EVERYONE from COVID.

18. In just one year, the idiocy of trumpism will be revealed and obvious to everyone

I hope they include it in the school textbooks.
