    It wasn’t even that surprising. What kind of bubble do these people live in?

      Exactly, turns out that the entire government was just democrats religiously watching msnbc. They’re supposed to be an intelligence agency, and if they can’t even see the most obvious events coming what are they even doing?

        Hell of a point I hadn’t considered. Thank you for your perspective, friend.

    I like that moment when an anticommunist finds themselves surrounded by Nazis who hate them as a secret communist. The FBI spent the past century suppressing the only movements that would have healed the contradictions ripping the country apart and now their agents are facing long knives for not being fascist enough.

      Last time they got involved in an election; they gave Trump the October surprise to help him win in 2016 and it turned out to be fake news later.

      They also said almost the same thing last time as well and I have a difficult time believing that they’re this out of touch when they’re the same people behind investigating so many public figures wo getting caught for so long.

    Oh man, remember last time around, when mid-level mandarins cosplayed through the media anonymously as “The Resistance”?
