Two armed Virginia men who were arrested Thursday outside the Philadelphia Convention Center were "coming to deliver a truck full of fake ballots" to the city, CNN affiliate KYW reported, citing prosecutors.

Are they purposely doing this bumbling moron shit as an op to make it look like libs are setting them up? I don't get it. Is this just what fascism looks like in an idiocracy? And if that's true, how are we losing to these people?

      Like, lots of Trump people are really dumb, but are they this dumb? What did they think they were going to accomplish? Also, how does someone this dumb make enough money for an $80k car? None of this makes any sense.

        Someone who is rich enough for a fancy car is probably dumber than someone who isn't because they have been told that rich=smart and successful so they're gonna be way less likely to ask themselves if it's a good idea or not.

          Yeah, I drive a $25k car that's been paid off over a year now and I actually do make six figures. Not having a car payment is amazing.

              Ridiculous amounts of privilege. Upper middle class parents, genetic lottery in height and coordination, athletic scholarship, so no student debt.

                I don't like it!!!

                I'm on the other end of the spectrum. It took me to college to get it, I didn't really encounter rich people before then, but damn does it really does add up.

                I just don't get how anyone thinks it's okay (especially people with it) that only some people get to live their life to the best of their ability and ambitions while the rest of us are pulled back by SO SO SO many factors.

                Why could that possibly be a good system? Glad you're here with us.

          Yeah, like the rubes in Liberal, KS a few years ago who were essentially entrapped into a bomb plot targeting an apartment complex where Somali refugees lived. These people would probably just be relatively harmless seething racists and idiots, but the feds get involved and turn them into something else. Why can't they just not be bigots, accept Marxism, and we could overthrow the state together?

      As I said in another thread, the US is absolutely infamous for election rigging and psyops all over the world including large scale psyops in the US (cointelpro). There is no way in hell they are not putting their finger on the scale somehow.
