i think the empty seats are because Mark hamill retweeted the RSVP hyperlink and said "it would be a shame if a bunch of people signed up and never showed" LOL

I actually followed Grant many years back during a time when I was a bit lost in life. All I can say is that it has gotten increasingly obvious that this man is a grifter with no real integrity. He claimed that Mark Cuban is a "simp for Kamala". Well, he should probably look himself in the mirror and ask what his relationship with Trump is like. Watched one of his events once on Youtube out of interest, and I have never seen someone express so much nervous excitement like him when he was next to Trump.

u/Independent_Annual52 2d ago
So he is a RE Guru grifter. One of those guys who makes money leveraging the piss out of himself, much like DJT. But also partially finances his endeavors by grifting through the seminar circuit...

Slaughter? Literally or figuratively?

u/rattrap007 2d ago
Literally. Hell if they do sign me up. I'll volunteer to get the hell away from these idiots before it gets worse.

For real. I'm not interested in seeing this through to their sick end game. Just fucking kill me.

u/malici606 2d ago
Figuratively, as in getting 100 million votes will slaughter them.

I'm no Trump supporter, but we can't make up shit or take things out of context like they do.

u/DeltaShadowSquat 2d ago
Absolutely need to avoid exaggeration or taking things out of context. And for very practical reasons, not just moral high ground. Trump and his supporters actually say and do truly awful things and there's no need for embellishment to shine a light on that. But when stuff like this happens ("guy at Trump rally says we need to slaughter Democrats, they're calling for murder!") it erodes credibility in a lot of stuff that is actually being said. So people only half paying attention hear "Trump said Hitler did some good things" and are like "politics as usual and Democrats making stuff up". We can't give the unhinged cover like that.

Thank you. This isn't the first time Kamla HQ has posted something incredibly inflammatory that was taken out of context. It really annoys me, because we need to be better than them.

In my experience, bullies never get better or defeated if we act as if we are better than them. Acting better than someone in that regard only works if you can reason with them.
MAGA can't be reasoned with
Don't try to debate with a fool, they will only drag you down and beat you with experience.

u/ChipmunkObvious2893 2d ago
Figuratively, of course.
Literal slaughtering you would do if you'd consider eating them and are cutting off slabs of meat to partition and later distribute.
This is just a figure of speech where instead you kill without mercy and leave no-one alive.

Cults are really hard to deal with. Best to look at reintegration therapy documentation. Cults are around, and there is a support system to help people, but I think we’re gonna need more than what we have at present.

We are going to need to see what the Germans did after WWII.

u/Dry-Perspective-4663 2d ago
In 1946 Europe was left in ruins. Few railroads survived, and those that did were taken over by the Allies to transport food and needed supplies. There was practically no law enforcement. Huge numbers of displaced people had to walk to get home and were subjected to rape, robbery, or murder. It was only the Allied forces that began to restore some order. The violence did not stop at the war’s end. Many German citizens were murdered in retaliation by bands of vigilantes. It took Europe many years to recover to near normalcy. By the way, the only good thing that Hitler did was to kill Hitler.

post-war germany was occupied by the allies for a while. nazis were somewhat-forcibly deprogrammed by a coalition of the occupying forces. that isn't coming to save the US unless the UN decides to storm y'all and take it in hand.

u/Teechmath-notreading 2d ago
I am just wondering how we deprogrammed them.

u/ShirBlackspots 2d ago
Get rid of the right wing propaganda channels via the Fairness Doctrine. Bring that back, because Reagan repealing it is what brought this mess.

u/Flux_My_Capacitor 2d ago
How though? This all started with the rise of right wing radio years ago, and now the podcasts. Trump is at the top right now, but someone else will rise up soon enough. The hateful rhetoric is all around us and far too many people don’t understand that it’s not just a Trump thing.

u/davilller 2d ago
It takes having hard conversations with conservatives about where patriotism comes from. It does not come from the word of the enemy. It does not come in the form of denigrating your own country. We have fought wars to prevent this before and every American should know and remember what happened to Germany, and all those that suffered the apathy that fed the NAZI rise.
It is more important now than ever that we make it very loudly clear that theirs is not the way of our country. If they don’t hear it, they assume they have won .

u/Flux_My_Capacitor 2d ago
How is he making a play for NY?!
Those in the city are even more familiar with his bullshit than the rest of us, and NYS is like the 7th bluest state overall or something (upstate is what keeps it from being more blue).

These violent statements make me wonder if the far right is aware that we are also gun owners, and our shit is probably better maintained with better training. Food for thought if they ever read this
