Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

Poor MAGA. Things just didn’t go their way on Saturday…flailing…

MAGA blames Democrats for Minnesota shooting

False counter-narratives signal to other terrorists that MAGA has their back

Since the tragic events in Minnesota on early Saturday morning that left two dead and two others in critical condition, state authorities have painted a clear picture of what Vance Boelter, 57, is accused of doing. They say Boelter murdered former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and also shot State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., called the shootings "a politically motivated assassination" targeting Democrats. Police recovered a list of around 70 potential targets, including politicians, community leaders and abortion providers. All the listed politicians were Democrats. According to the New York Times, Boelter's roommate and longtime friend says the suspected shooter voted for Donald Trump. Boelter's online activities show he is a right-wing Christian who opposes abortion and denies that LGBTQ identities are real. While we don't yet have the text of the manifesto Boelter left behind, it's fairly obvious what's likely to be in it.

Despite these facts, it didn't take long for MAGA forces online to snap into action with a false counter-narrative: that Boelter is a left-winger and Republicans are the real victims. Trump's traveling companion Laura Loomer falsely claimed Boelter "was friends with Walz" and was associated with the "No Kings" protests. "The organizers of NO KINGS and @GovTimWalz need to be detained by the FBI and interrogated," she demanded. Dating "guru"-turned-MAGA influencer Mike Cernovich also blamed Walz, claiming the governor had Hortman — who was actually Walz's friend — "executed" for voting one time with Republicans on a bill. "MORE DEMOCRAT TERR0RISM!" screamed Nick Sortor, a far right influencer with over a million followers on X. Glenn Beck, Breitbart and other far-right outlets went to work on Facebook, suggesting to their audiences that Walz was responsible for the shooting, even though he was on the list of Boelter's targets. Charlie Kirk of Turning Points USA blamed the shooting of Democratic lawmakers and their family members on anyone who objects to rising fascism.

Even by MAGA standards, the justifications for these leaps of logic are based on extremely thin gruel. First, the suspect had fliers for the "No Kings" demonstrations. Common sense tells us that's because he was probably considering an attack on the Democratic crowds turning out to protest Trump. That's also the conclusion the police swiftly arrived at, which is why they tried and failed to cancel protests in the area. (There was no violence at those protests, but there was a shooting at the Salt Lake City protest and car attacks at demonstrations in California and Virginia.) Second, Boelter had served for many years on a 41-member bipartisan business development board, and one of the various Minnesota governors who had rubber-stamped his appointment was Walz. There is no evidence that Walz has even met Boelter, but this tenuous connection was all the conspiracists needed to run with an elaborate story that the two men are co-conspirators in a plot to kill Republicans. The victims, in this telling, were basically Republicans — all because one of them once voted against her party on a single bill.

MAGA is very easily fooled

The power of the Cult is real. Look at all the people that still doggedly cling to religion around the world. Belonging to a cult is strong juju.

I'm extraordinarily surprised by this. I'd honestly rather this NOT be true. No election in the U.S. will ever be trusted again if this is proven out and it will only solidify the idea that the 2020 election was similarly tampered with.

I would rather this not be true as well but this is pretty strange:
There was a district in Rockland where 99.6% of the Presidential votes were for Trump and 79.4% of the Senate votes were for Gillibrand (D). Harris got ZERO votes. Nearly 80% of the district voted for a Democrat Senator and not a single one of them voted for Harris. That's super sus, statistically.

She Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines. They Rewired the Election.

How Leonard Leo's 2021 sale of an electronics firm enabled tech giants to subvert the 2024 election.

Data that makes no statistical sense. A clean sweep in all seven swing states. The fall of the Blue Wall. Eighty-eight counties flipped red—not one flipped blue. Every victory landed just under the threshold that would trigger an automatic recount. Donald Trump outperformed expectations in down-ballot races with margins never before seen—while Kamala Harris simultaneously underperformed in those exact same areas.

If one were to accept these results at face value—Donald Trump, a 34-count convicted felon, supposedly outperformed Ronald Reagan.

According to the co-founder of the Election Truth Alliance:

“These anomalies didn’t happen nationwide. They didn’t even happen across all voting methods—this just doesn’t reflect human voting behavior.”

They were concentrated.
Targeted.
Specific to swing states and Texas—and specific to Election Day voting.

And the supposed explanation? “Her policies were unpopular.”

Let’s think this through logically. We’re supposed to believe that in all the battleground states, Democratic voters were so disillusioned by Vice President Harris’s platform that they voted blue down ballot—but flipped to Trump at the top of the ticket?

Not in early voting.
Not by mail.
With exception to Nevada, only on Election Day.
And only after a certain threshold of ballots had been cast—where VP Harris’s numbers begin to diverge from her own party, and Trump’s suddenly begin to surge.

In the world of election data analysis, there’s a term for that: vote-flipping algorithm.

I'm not going to list everything from the article but give it a read. Lots of interesting things in there.

Well @Sardines, there ya go. Literally said the exact same thing verbatim. No need to wonder if he actually said it anymore

That appears to be the exact same statement. Look I'm not going to question if MSNBC checks their sources so I'm assuming he said it, but even that video looks weird to me, like they are on a green screen.

I could see that statement, which is real, being used for the "hot mic" thing. Either way, I'm pretty sure he said it. And it wouldn't even be a teeny tiny bit surprising. Or even controversial these days.

If we assume this is accurate and there was foul-play, what exactly, if anything, can be done about it at this point? Anyone know? My gut tells me: nothing. Nothing can be done about it. Or maybe better put, nothing WILL be done about it. With the outrage from the left and even the middle about Trump trying to steal the election in 2020, making those same claims now it will be so easy for Trump and his Cult to claim ********, you are just projecting, and similar ****. Sad but true, it is likely they figured out a way to rig an election. Hell they had 4 years to plan it out, and carry it out, after learning that just leaning on politicians to put their own careers in jeopardy to force a steal in 2020 won't work. They learned and devised a better plan. Unbelievable the level of corruption involved here. We might just need a full-on coup to set order again, and hold the conspirators accountable, and uncover the depths of the corruption and racism poisoning our once-great country. MAGA really stands for make America the same as the 1880's again, where robber barons did as they pleased, women and minorities were firmly oppressed and kept "in their place", and politicians fed off the high-income corporate teat and kept the status quo.

Honestly I think there a good chance that is one of the main reasons for trumps big lie.
Make and future claims of an election being rigged and it's much harder to have the claim taken seriously after all of trumps BS in 2020. He was paving the way to be able to get away with fixing an election by claiming that election was fixed.

Sad thing is that most MAGA cult members will eat this up. They love conspiracies and the idea that they, the majority in the country (as in white and "christian") are the ones being persecuted no matter what else happens. The guy could have shot a dozen black democrats, with tattoos all over his body stating "KILL THE N*****RS for TRUMP" and "I LOVE TRUMP AND HATE N*****RS" with pictures of himself at Trump rallies scattered all over his car and a manifesto outlining his plan to help Trump by killing all the black democrats he can, and media images of him shaking hands with the president and they would twist it somehow to show that he really wanted to kill honest law-abiding white "christian" republicans because Obama sent him in to do exactly that (thanks Obama!). And they would still believe it. I can tell you it is monumentally hard to break people away from their cult.

This will be part of the lie…



MAGA supporters are in overdrive on X, trying to “prove” that organizations helping to fund No Kings rallies is somehow a crime. All the result of their ignorance of who Trump is, and what he is doing to the country.

It was cool AF when Musk was funding the Republican Presidential campaign and offering cash rewards for whatever that **** was?
