I'm continually impressed at how good Joe Biden is at running this vast, secret, deep state network of people rigging everything... while being so bad at anything else.

Obligatory definitions of fascism #8:

Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as "at the same time too strong and too weak".

There's a Q six letters in. There's 12 months in a year, which is 6x2. That means THIS YEAR BIDEN RIGGED THE SUPER BOWL! It's clearly an admission from a secret agent associatied with Q.

/s just in case it's needed, because we live in the dumbest of all possible time lines.

when I was reading 1984 a few years back it occurred to to me that the main character is trapped in his own hell. he tells you how he is dependent on big brother for everything, even his opinion. But his temptation and love and freedom cause his downfall. His handler even knows he will one day fall into the snare. And when they break him, they do so with simple lies that he is forced to believe, because its all that he has left.

But its not big government that is keeping him trapped. He could leave his life and become a prole but his fear is too great. And he returns to the party even when he knows its his doom.

The conservatives are trapped in this same hell cycle. Brought on by themselves. And they fear that leaving the party so much so that they will harm anyone else who tires.

Sounds like 1984 is about to get banned South of the Mason Dixon. Can't have these liberal, Yankee views corrupting the youth.

So then why don't they bet on it and make tons of cash?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because there's a chance trump and the good guys can defeat the forces of evil and un-rig the SuperBowl

Why would the Superbowl need to be rigged for her to do this? Everything the woman does is already reported and televised everywhere.

I love the idea that hard right idiots get enraged and boycott everything they love, leaving them sitting alone in their garages angrily muttering to themselves and hating everything.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago

Who would have guessed that defining your identity by the things you hate, and your politics by the people you want hurt, would lead one towards being a miserable fuck.

Ok, so what if her favorite team loses the Superbowl and she still endorses Biden? What then? Like do they think that is her one chance to endorse a candidate?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Don't you get it? The Superbowl is her one chance to reach a large audience. If she doesn't get to endorse him there, she may never get another chance to reach millions of people because platforms like that don't exist outside of a couple major sporting events.

I laughed!

yesterday I was at the grocery store and the young lady at the register asked me if I was going to watch the big games today. I told her I didn't really care about football aside from one team. She asked if I was going to watch the Superbowl and I said probably not. I asked if she was going to and she said yes because her hobby was Taylor Swift. It was a moment that I will remember for a while because it was fun to be in that space where this young lady who didn't care about the game was excited about Taylor Swift being a part of it, and me whos watched it all my life could care less.

Well I was going to vote for Biden but now I am changed, I can't let the white liberal hope of Tay Tay ruin my enjoyment of making black people play sports.

/s like lots of it because someone crazy MF is going to think that is really what I think.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago

Conservatives believe whatever feels good for them to believe at that exact moment. The only evidence they need that a white football player dating a white pop star is a psyop is the cortisol their brain gave them when they came up with the idea.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It would be funny if it wasn't also scary. These people are unhinged.

The NFL probably is rigged but not for the reasons these fuckheads think.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

Can't believe you'd accuse the NFL, sponsored by Draft Kings and Fan Duel, of rigging the Super Bowl. Is nothing sponsored by Caesars Sports Book sacred?
