The Mental Illness Epidemic in America



These people exist and they vote Trumpublican.


From "Spiro Agnew's Ghost" Twitter Account:



Spiro Agnew’s Ghost @SpiroAgnewGhost ·  These are real posts, with huge amounts of interaction from Q-anon lunatics who belong strapped down to something in a rubber room. The mental illness epidemic in this country is utterly frightening and getting worse. And a bunch of people have gathered in Dallas by Dealey Plaza:

 






The question is what's going to happen to these delusional nutcakes when JFK, Sr., JFK, Jr., and Jackie O. don't show up. Will they admit they are crazy?

No. I think not. I believe they'll go on to another insane conspiracy theory and continue to believe the 2020 election was stolen.




And this from Newsmax's WHITE HOUSE correspondent:










 "Twitter eventually took down Emerald Robinson’s tweet that breathlessly warned that the COVID-19 vaccines contain a glowing tracking chip that could lead to a biblical war."


“She tweets out that the COVID vaccine is meant to track your every move from an iPhone which literally tracks your every move,” political observer Josh Jordan noted. 

“The problem is that she knows it's nonsense, but she's built a brand on taking advantage of those who don't know any better.”


**************************


Those who "don't know any better" are legion. They voted for Trump in the last election and continue to believe in Trump's Big Lie.

QAnon, anti-vaxxers, Trumpublicans are all of a piece. They are mostly uninformed, fearful, superstitious, and open to conspiracies, so it's easy for con men like Trump and cynical Newsmax reporters to manipulate them. 

But to believe in dead people coming back to life in Dallas, as the QAnoners do, and to publish on Twitter that a vaccine has a bioluminescent marker in it is a whole other level of insanity. And these Trumpers are marinated in it.

The very large crowd gathered to see the JFK Jr. reveal himself after his faked death isn’t funny. It’s a deeply worrying sign of how unhinged our political conversation has become from truth.



It's all over America. I get a lot of this magical thinking in my comments -- commenters believing that the 2020 election was stolen and that trump will be "reinstated."

Is it beyond the realm of possibility that ex presnit donald j.duck er trump, will be reinstated via a well planned, well financed, superbly executed, and violent coup d'etat?

Methinks it is very possible. Perhaps sometime next year. 75 plus million loser trumper addicts is a force not to be ignored.

QAnon Trump supporters have gathered in Dallas because they believe JFK Jr. faked his death and will come back to announce he’s Trump’s running mate in 2024?

And Republicans wonder why they get mocked.

Please nobody tell these nutcases that the entire Kennedy family were all Democrats, okay? It'll be a blast if they ever find out.

Thing is, luciferase really exists, and it is bioluminescent. However, it is not true that it's used in covid-19 vaccines, nor would it be of any use for tracking people.

(I thought everybody knew Bill Gates is using his vaccine microchips for that.)

As for the predictions of JFK rising from the dead, I do see a silver lining. Tens of millions of Republicans believe the election was stolen. If they see that claim being linked to a cult idea like this which is so loopy the great majority even of them can see it's insane, it may lead some of them to question the whole stolen-election narrative. Not all of them, but some.

If I believed in God, I'd say it's clear that the dingbats in Dallas who believe this stuff were put here by him to give the rest of us something to laugh at, and who are we to question his gift?

Maybe they can inject the Bioluminescent tracker into all illegals entering the country so they can see which flights they are on. No one, even the stupidest on either side believes this. The federal government can't even track the thousands crossing the border so how can they track vaccinated. They need to turn it over to the IRS because they can track anyone.

Jerry said...

It's the members who should be tracked.

Skud... regarding "illegals".

Perhaps we could open up legal immigration from all countries with "like" cultures?

There is little denying that we are short of workers to keep our economy going. Across almost all sectors, job growth has stalled, because the bodies simply do not exist to fill the positions. A primary cause is older workers leaving the work force, and using some personal retirement funds to get themselves to social security.

Costco is offering 17 bucks an hour to start. I have friends in the business world here in Vegas who when good positions come open, they get one applicant. despite the rhetoric of conservatives, people of color are not taking jobs from "Americans."

There are simply not Americans available to fill the jobs.

So explain to me why we should not allow immigrants to settle here, work, pay taxes and put down roots in a country where they clearly want to live?

Especially when we need them.
