Sure, the people who believe the conspiracies may not be geniuses, but I don't think think these conspiracies are created for fun.  They are done with a purpose.

If those who are threatening to leave the US if Trump doesn't win actually follow through with their promises and leave, they'll likely run to Russia and become cannon fodder in Putin's Ukraine misadventure


Those who don't follow through with their promise MIGHT raise a "militia" and cause trouble, and I hope, if they do, the actual military or feds stamp on them -HARD!

Once one or two examples are made, the rest will likely shit themselves, just like their orange idol, and run for their basements, where they'll stand in the corner and cluck ominously...

Quote:Oct 18 (Reuters) - A federal judge has blocked Florida officials from threatening television stations with prosecution for running advertisements supporting a pro-abortion rights measure in next month's election.

Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker in Tallahassee ruled on Thursday that the threats clearly violated the right to free speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

"To keep it simple for the state of Florida: it's the First Amendment, stupid," the judge wrote in his temporary order.

The ruling came in response to a lawsuit by Floridians Protecting Freedom, the organization backing the proposed amendment.

Florida's Department of Health sent letters earlier this month, shortly after broadcasters began running ads from the pro-amendment campaign telling viewers that Florida's current abortion ban prevents doctors from performing abortions necessary to save the life or health of the mothers.

The department called that claim "categorically false" and said it endangered public health, and that stations continuing to run the ads could face criminal prosecution.

[...]

Walker said that the state could not censor speech simply by declaring it false.

"The State can continue to combat what it believes to be 'false advertising' by meeting plaintiff's speech with its own," the judge wrote.

A hearing is set for Oct. 29 to decide whether the order should be extended. The election is on Nov. 5.

Quote:A top election lawyer for the Republican Party said on a podcast Tuesday that she’s hoping for a “cleansing in our nation” and that “we can clean out the filth.”

“I think there’s a lot of weird, weird things going on behind the scenes that we probably can’t see,” said Christina Bobb, a former right-wing media personality who is now the Republican National Convention’s senior counsel for “election integrity.”

“I hope they all break the surface so that we just get this cleansing in our nation and we can clean out the filth.”

The comments on the “Steak for Breakfast” podcast, which were first flagged by liberal watchdog group Media Matters, were in line with an increasingly fascistic tone from the Trump campaign and Republican Party in general. Former president and GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, for example, has said immigrants are bringing “bad genes” into the United States and “poisoning the blood” of the country — echoing Adolf Hitler’s rhetoric — and has called for the mass deportation of millions of people. Trump also recently said he expects a “problem” on Election Day from the “enemy from within.”

Bobb’s remarks came during a longer comment in which she said the left was “evil” and “demonic”, and accused liberals of wanting to “normalize pedophilia” and protect “pedophile rights” because of “all of the weird transgender stuff.”

Bobb accused Democrats of “protecting” documents related to Combs and Epstein, and said celebrities who wanted to show they weren’t pedophiles could demonstrate that by calling themselves conservatives. (Alex Acosta, the federal prosecutor who gave Epstein an immunity deal in 2007, protecting him from federal prosecution, later became Trump’s labor secretary.)

At that point, Bobb made her comment about “cleansing” the nation.
