Guess he didn't like his wife.....

At least the vacuum between Arthu's ears is still working. The loser must despise his wife.

"I'm still supporting [Trump]," said Sahakyan. "Even though my friends say take the flag down, you're going through a lot. I'm like no. The flag stands."

Even my friends say I'm an idiot. I'm like, no I like being this way.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I think this is the smart move. Most Americans have yet to learn how things work in a police state. This guy's wife got kidnapped by the SS, and you think he should be like, "Fuck Trump!"

No, man, he is hoping that if he continues to suck the dick they won't rape, torture, and murder her - and then come for him.

"Ah, yes, everything is working according to my plan."

[–] [email protected] 177 points 2 days ago (7 children)

said Sahakyan. "I think it will resolve a lot of issues because we'll know exactly who's in here for what reasons, even though I miss [my wife] dearly. I think we could have a faster process [where they determine] she's not a radical, or tied to the crazies, let her out."

He's rationalizing what's happening. They are never letting her out. They are going to take her out of the country and she will never be coming back to the USA again. I wonder if that is what it will take for him to change his opinion.

[–] [email protected] 87 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think you're right. He's been conditioned to keep the faith and look past the cult's obvious failure to keep its promise of protecting him and his; if he only keeps the faith, everything will surely come right. He still believes that surely dear leader would never hurt him. I think his wife getting flown out to Serbia without a trial miiiight just be the wakeup call.

Kinda sounds like religions...don't question, just believe.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 days ago (2 children)

At this point, I think it's pretty safe to call MAGA a religion, specifically an offshot of American Evangelism. I don't think you can call its faithful Christians anymore, because while they're happy to borrow all the trappings and symbols of Christianity, every place where Christ and Trump conflict, Trump wins, including who gets to be Godhead. I'm really not exaggerating, I think a lot of people have walked into an entirely new faith without yet realizing it. If you're looking for a modern anti-christ, it's hard to do better than Trump.

The followers of the antichrist will wear the mark of the beast on their foreheads

The antichrist will appear to be mortally wounded but miraculously survive

The antichrist is one who is arrogant and boastful, loves making public threats, and is obsessed with winning and being viewed as a conqueror

The antichrist will be someone who somehow sneaks into power rather than being properly handed it, specifically by colluding with a few powerful people because he does not have the majority on his side

Someone who will develop a cult of personality, and turn otherwise good people away from what they previously knew as righteous

Someone who’s rise to power and imperviousness to being stopped will serve as justification of his righteousness to those who have been tricked

Someone who “will distribute among his followers the plunder and wealth of the rich—something his predecessors had never done”(Daniel 11:24). Obviously were reading “followers” as his wealthiest friends that prop up his position

He will “try to change the set times and the laws”, “cause deceit to prosper”, and “will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will sell them land at a price.”

He will wage war on “the kingdom of the south” and target its people.

He will do everything that he does in service to himself and to the detriment of all those who are suffering:

There will be a leader over the land who will not help the ones who are dying.

He will not go looking for the young who got lost, or care for the children.

He won’t help the ones who are sick or broken, or even give nourishment to the hungry ones who are still healthy.” - Zechariah 11:16-17

He will be friends with a leader in Israel and “will do as he pleases; no one will be able to stand against him. He will establish himself in the Beautiful Land, and will have the power to destroy it. He will determine to come with the might of his entire kingdom, and make an alliance… then, he will turn his attention to the coastlands.” - (Daniel 11:16-18)

Literally the only aspect of Trump that doesnt match the biblical description of the antichrist is that the biblical antichrist is ultimately stopped by the courts. And we all know the supreme court isnt doing shit about this one…

I'm not a psychologist but I suspect there's something amiss here.

Like a lot of these people if he steps back from his loyalty to Trump, he's kind of admitting that he's partially responsible for what's happened.

Clinging to this shaky narrative of how this is actually a good thing allows him to offload the guilt.

I think this might be "delusional" in the clinical sense.

Over time the belief becomes more entrenched. Something like muscle memory but a thought pattern. It will then become the basis for even nuttier thoughts.

It's sad for him, it's sadder for her, it's even sadder for their kids who might me next. It's just shit all the way down.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I do see a trend with the conservative base here where getting them to admit they are wrong about ANYTHING is like a personal attack and they simply are not equipped with the emotional prowess and maturity needed to learn from it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It's a core characteristic they've learned from HitlerPig, who learned it from his mentor Roy Cohn, who always said that you never admit that you were wrong or were defeated. Always declare victory, and NEVER, EVER apologize.

HitlerPig lives by that, and his followers have adopted it as well.

That's how much of a cult MAGA are. Completely brainwashed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

This is why we all need to talk with our friends, families, and even co-workers to get out and vote. Most voter turnout rates I’ve seen are 60-70%. There has too be more sane people outside of the cult.

Somebody called in the tip himself...

[–] [email protected] 56 points 2 days ago (6 children)

just like my ex, after I supported her medical school she convinced my to move to the States with my kids, once settled and in school she wrote USCIS to cancel the greencard process behind my back.

I'm struggling to get my visa now, and probably end up in Alligator Auschwitz.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why not move back to the country you emigrated from? Assuming you still hold valid citizenship there? I would love the help trying to turn this shit around, but its too dangerous for you here.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

because If I do so, I wll never see my daughters again.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Christ man. Sorry your ex is such a psycho and the place is treating you like dirt. You deserve better

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

That really stinks, sorry that you're going through that. :/

"She came and kissed the kids and that was it," said Sahakyan. "That was the last time we saw her."

This monster!

[–] [email protected] 76 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Note that the cops decided to let her back into her home to say goodbye here. If they didn't have the Trump flags the last thing they would've seen was her being taken down and hog tied in the driveway.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

She's still gone. Goodbyes or not, she was snatched.

But, you see, there are bad Iranians, whereas they are good Iranians. Perhaps dancing a little more for his master will get this fool his wife back.

That quote he said for justification of them taking his wife has got to be the biggest maga cuck bullshit I have ever read.

His wife is getting fucked and he's asking for more. 'Round these parts we call that a cuck.

People being ok with their own lives being uprooted for someone who should mean absolutely nothing to them is insane.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maga is nested inside misogyny. His wife's problems are subordinate to his political allegiance. He probably things that trump will recompense the loss of his wife.
