  QAnon Anonymous reviews 2000 Mules and it is delightfully savage
context: I have a customer who has been coming in to my place of work for almost 3 years now spewing QAnon hilarity and calling my coworkers and I sheep.  We’ve known him for many years. Even would consider him more of a kooky friend than a customer. We just laugh about how crazy he’s gotten when he leaves. One day he just came at me all the wrong, and I lost it on him. Started screaming at him, going down the list of every bogus nut job prophecy he’s ever told us that turned out to not happen or be an obvious lie. Finally he interjected and asked if I’d seen 2000 Mules. I told him I had no idea what that was, and that was his big aha mic drop moment. Do not let headlines like this lull you into a false sense of security that these people are losing interest or coming around. The psychosis is real, and it is very alarming the extremes of what they are willing to latch onto in hopes that one day they will be able to tell us all, I told ya so! >
  
  I am beyond terrified at how many people think this horseshit is “on the way out.” No, it isn’t. Jan. 6 and all the overwhelming conservative support for it should be a goddamn bat signal in the sky that this isn’t going away. >
  
  Yeah. Greene won re-election as did Boebert even if the latter election was close. Trump had the second highest number of votes cast in US history. Most of those folks are still around. >
  
  Bobert probably would have lost if more people voted. >
  
  Well leading up to the election every time Boebert was mentioned here everyone said we’d never get rid of her because her district is too red and she has no chance of losing, but she barely won. 
  Every vote matters. Even in gerrymandered districts. Too many people get voter apathy because “oh well it’s red anyways what’s the point” but it really does matter. 
  Voter apathy is one of the greatest threats to our democracy. All elections matter. >
  
  I think people didn’t anticipate it being an environment  when a Democrat could overcome a Republican district with something like a R+10 point advantage. It’s a big hill to beat Boebart, but MTGs district is like an R+30 district. >
  
  Greene's district is as hard R as they come >
  
  I used to live in north Georgia. It’s about as backward as one can imagine. Greene’s opponent screwed up his campaign too with too much emphasis given to online fundraising ( al la the RSCC under Scott). He was a veteran who I supported. The district is rural but includes some Atlanta suburbs. Maybe with more door knocking? We can deduce this district is not concerned with actual patriotism just the performance type. “Well he was flying the confederate battle flag”. >
  
  Far south GA gives far north a run for its money as a backward area. >
  
  For those who don’t know, the entire premise of this movie is that Dinesh purchased cell phone location records and found that thousands of phones were within 100 feet of multiple ballot drop boxes during early voting. He then makes a massive leap that the only possible explanation for this is that the cell phones belong to Democrat “mules” who are dropping fraudulent ballots into those boxes.
  Local officials pointed out that election teams often visited multiple drop boxes a day. Commuters also regularly passed within 100 ft of the same boxes, further contaminating the data. Dinesh also never considered that the supposed fraud could be committed by Republicans. The few individual voters whom Dinesh caught on video dropping off multiple ballots were investigated and found to be legally dropping off ballots for their immediate family members. And most importantly, no proof was ever found of large batches of ineligible ballots or systematic tampering by a single party. Finally, Dinesh himself has been convicted of felony voter fraud, so he isn’t exactly someone to trust on these matters. >

  I hadn't realized this was the actual premise. This is so, so dumb. Most ballot drop boxes are on major public transit lines! What else is on major public transit lines...? Grocery stores, high density retail, and lots of common ballot drop box sites like libraries, high schools, college campuses, malls, community centers, post offices... That's the whole point...! Ballot drop boxes go in places that are centrally located where lots of people are already going for their day to day travel. God, this is so dumb. >
  
  The ballot box in my area in Maryland, is by a community center, with a gym.
  So literally hundreds of people walk past it everyday on their way to the gym.
  That doesn't include the hundreds of people who drop off ballots. >
  
  They showed different ballots where people are just standing around the area and they went see proof these people are staking out the ballot boxes! 
  It’s in front of a busy shopping centers I’d be more concerned if people weren’t hanging out in the front. >
  
  Plus, anyone who has every used a find my phone feature when trying to met up with friends or family, know that those signals are not exactly pinpoint accurate.
  You could be hundreds of feet away from the box, but it shows you right next to it. >
  
  Tell that to like 80% of my family. The movie did the job for intended audience. >
  
  Mine too. But I’m hopeful they are just speaking to an increasingly small group. >
  
  Qanon can only lose elections for the GOP now. They want Trump or they won’t vote R. >
  
  Dinesh D'Souza pled guilty to campaign finance fraud and told the court he was guilty, then walked out and told right wing media that he was innocent but was persecuted. Guy is fucking scum. >
  
  Convicted Felon Dinesh Dsouza. >
  
  Married Incel Dinesh Dsouza. Male Pick Me Dinesh Dsouza. >
  
  Seems like it did fine with its target audience. >
  
  Republicans have to lie about everything in order to make their point. That's why this movie sucked. >
  
  He achieved his goal of conning rubes out of their cash. >
  
  No, convicted voter fraud participant and wife beater Dinesh D'Souza would never do something so low. >
  
  Oh, wife beater is new to me.
  Not surprised, just new. >
  
  From Intelligencer:
  Dixie claimed that Dinesh used the couple’s daughter “to bolster his character” in a “patently false” letter of her own. “Contrary to the statement made in Mr. D’Sourza’s sentencing memorandum, it is my former husband who has an abusive nature,” she wrote. “In one instance, it was my husband who physically abused me in April 2012 when he, using his purple belt karate skills, kicked me in the head and shoulder, knocking me to the ground and creating injuries that pain me to this day.” >
  
  Fucking purple belts are back on their bullshit again. >
  
  You know he probably told his friends “yeah I kicked her right in the head, I’m a purple belt in ka-ra-te you know.” >
  
  I definitely read this in his voice. Spot on. >
  
  This plague rat would be in prison where he belongs if not for Trump's pardon... >
  
  I called him rat man. >
  
  Debunked before it even came out, how embarrassing. >
  
  Even with all the push it got on reddit it still flopped. >
  
  r/conspiracy at least made bank tho 😆😆 >
  
  And he loves hating Black people, trying his best to please republicans >
  
  D’Souza has for decades made a comfortable living as an idiot cosplaying as an intellectual. >
  
  Much like with Mike Lindell's "We have so much proof!" it's either explainable as nothing upon even a cursory glance, or they refuse to show it and still just scream "WE HAVE PROOF!" >
  
  Yeah he had a documentary called "Absolute Proof" about how China used satellites or Dominion machines or something.
  My sister buys his pillows. >
  
  President Biden unequivocally and legitimately defeated Donald Trump in the 2020 election. 
  Neither preposterous agitprop nonsense like this heaping helping of horseshit by convicted felon Dinesh D’ Souza nor bloviated nonsense peddled by a rogue’s gallery of Trump fluffers have come remotely close to proving otherwise. 
  Trump’s preposterous claims to the contrary unequivocally confirmed that he’s the most dishonest person ever to occupy the Oval Office, a wannabe dictator who endorses violence against democracy, and quite possibly the sorest loser in U.S. political history. >
  
  Just call him “convicted fraudster Dinesh D’Souza” >
  
  Dinesh D’Souza eats his own ass. Quote me. >
  
  This needs to be on a sticker for gas pumps. >
  
  The whole concept behind the movie was "we can't prove that there was widespread result-changing voter fraud... but wouldn't it be great if we could?" >
  
  The scary thing about the QAnon crowd and the extreme "right wingers" is that they do not just exist here but in almost every democratic country spreading like a disease.
