    It’s a ridiculous take, I have no idea.

      Seems like a fine example of a lie being told often enough becoming true.

      I really wish I had better ways to identify it. Sort of like an avalanche/snowball effect where someone says something that sounds like 4D chess but in reality is Connect 4 on a checkerboard.

      Just feels like there’s so much stupidity going unchecked because people are afraid to check it.

      It lets him keep playing the victim card and his base eats that up. Plus more media coverage, more people saying his name, so on and so on.

        2 can play that game though. As I said earlier, let’s focus on why they said he can’t be on the ballot, he was found guilty of insurrection.

      This ruling appears to be designed for scotus review. There’s a decent chance they’ll overturn it. If that happens, there will be many avenues for Trump to spin this in his favour. That doesn’t mean this is a good thing for him overall.

      Bottom line - he needs to be convicted of his actual crimes in court.
