      Honestly I lost my taste for making fun of these idiots when I found a blog post of some poor woman who had invested everything in Dinar and she'd written this post about how she hoped the RV came before Christmas because she didn't have any other money and all these fantasies about how she couldn't wait for the RV so she could "finally buy clothes she liked" (which broke my heart), and "get take-out food for the first time in years" and I just felt so fucking horrible reading it. She had pintrest boards of all the things she was gonna buy when this thing finally happened and the saddest thing was she didn't want extravagant things - All of it was stuff like clothes, kitchen equipment, nice food, etc. She literally just wanted what basically amounted to basics to fill her home.

      Like she really believed Trump was gonna revalue the Dinar, reinstate the gold standard and "delete all the debt" as part of secret NESARA reforms. She was letting all of her debts build up based on the blog and posting all these "poverty recipes" she was using, like how to make tinned potatoes last for three meals or similar.

      Ruined my week finding that blog.

          Tell me about it. I found her through some Qanon posts shed made about how her daughter had stopped talking to her and basically her blog starts off normally and is mostly recipes and then gets more and more delusional about Trump and Q, and it just ends up horrifyingly miserable very quickly.

          100%.

          I realised pretty quickly that so much of what she expected Trump to do with these "NESARA" reforms was literally communist in nature. Like she was talking about how Trump would push a jobs guarantee, for example. It was like she'd got all the pieces of class consciousness and even communism but she just couldn't quite get it together in a coherent manner so shed tried to apply it to her existing Republican beliefs.

          Maybe a form of Gramsci's dual consciousness idea now I think about it?

      Broke: RV button makes them equal by raising the value of 1 Dinar to 1 USD

      Woke: RV button makes them equal by dropping the value of 1 USD to 1 Dinar
