Latest right wing conspiracy going around our MAGAT community this morning.

[Native]

And yes, people are still going out for morning walks wearing their MAGA gear.

So, my husband started taking our new puppy for walks a couple of weeks ago, and when he comes home to tell me about the conversations with people he's bumped into during his walks, he identifies the Trumpers by adding MAGA as their last name. Sharon MAGA is a favorite of ours, but today, he ran into Stan and Linda MAGA (I anonymously busted them for being in violation of our HOA rules by having a Trump sign in their window). Stan and Linda asked if my husband had heard the latest - that Soros is paying Democrats $10,000 to move to Georgia so they can vote in the run-off elections, and Castro (I'm assuming they meant Julian or Joaquin) is advertising this on his website. Dear Lord.

1. You should have said..."Yes, and I contributed to a GoFund me site to help"

edited for grammar.

[Native]

3. Now that's a good tactic! My husband is super quick when it comes to rejoinders.

I'll tell him to just go along with whatever they say and make a pithy comment about his involvement. LOL.

[Ferrets are Cool]

4. +1

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. Reading things like this, I am so overjoyed that my wife and I moved to a place

where MAGAT contact is rare - we are on a dead end road with only a handful of houses, and we never really see anyone. The two people we know best are anti-MAGATs. Our walks are in national forests.

Going forward, I plan to continue to eliminate any chance of MAGAT contact for as long as I live. Fuck em all.

[Native]

5. It would be nice to move, but for now we are trying to find the humor in it all, like 2 days ago...

We are in one of 800 homes on a golf course in Florida (I know, I know). We moved off the water and sold our sailboat. Big mistake.
Anyway, I'd say at least 30% of the residents have dogs, perhaps more. The other afternoon, on our street, an older guy came out of his house and started screaming at my husband, yelling that he had to leave because dogs are not allowed in our community. He said it was illegal and became very agitated and very loud (animals are allowed, this guy is obviously senile). Another neighbor, in his 50's and on our trivia team and super, super smart came over to my husband and told him he should hire an attorney to go after the guy who was screaming at him. My husband responded with, "Ha ha, you mean like Rudy or Pam Bondi?" And then it began.... did my husband know about all the voter fraud that is going on - all the dead people voting and all the people in the States Attorney's office in Philadelphia that had quit because CNN was going to dox them. At least 3 times my husband asked him where he had heard all of this and never got an answer, so he finally said, "I guess you heard this on Faux News." Well, that set the guy off on another rant, "Hell no! You may not know this, but Fox News isn't conservative anymore."

43. i live in a 40 unit lo income /seinior/ disabled apartment complex,

[Native]

58. :hi:

[OldBaldy1701E]

38. Now I lived in Raleigh for 16 years

and I am curious how you avoid MAGAts up around Six Forks, and Old Wake Forest Rd... unless the area has changed a lot. Which is possible. I do miss it, BTW. Lived in about every part of that town. (I was there on campus in '83... what a night...)

[NRaleighLiberal]

69. that is where we lived for 28 years - up off of Six Forks, near Falls Lake

we were among very few blue dots in a sea of red in our neighborhood. We avoided the MAGATs mainly because I retired early and my wife and I tend to keep to ourselves. Gardeners and quilters can really dig into their solitude!

I know there are loads of MAGATs around us here 4 hours west of Raleigh, in the mountains - but again, we avoid them and just do our thing at our home, our yard.

[OldBaldy1701E]

72. Loved it up there!

My friend lived up there, and I was not too far away at one point. Howdee!

[RichardRay]

6. My usual response is to ask where...

...I can signup for such a program. I’m old, disabled, retired, and i have a sleeping bag. I could be there in a few days.

[niyad]

8. Excellent!

[niyad]

7. My, my, George is busy. He is also, apparently, funding that new bs site parler.

[Native]

10. I thought that was Mercer.

[niyad]

12. The mercers are funding it, but I saw this nonsense yesterday. Facts do not matter to them.

[Native]

15. Of course. I'll probably hear that one this afternoon. LOL. So much fun!

[TheBlackAdder]

9. To which one retorts, "Oh, you mean conspiracy theory #8,934 or is that 8,935?"

[dawg day]

11. Oh, I love Savannah!

Hey, Soros, where's my $10K moving check?

[mountain grammy]

45. Yep where do I apply?

have motorhome will travel!

[ananda]

13. There's a little yard around here that still has..

Trump/Pence signs and other signs. Ick

[dreamland]

14. I approve. Keep your enemies closer.

Neighbors of ours decided to show their true colors by upping a RumPence sign. Husband still says hello but I just can't even bring myself to smile at them anymore. But there's were we get the news from the MAGATs on our street.

[Goodheart]

16. Only idiots who don't know or appreciate math could buy that shit.

Let's see.... if Soros gave 10,000 families $10,000 each.... that would hardly put a dent in Georgia's five million votes but would cost Soros 100 MILLION DOLLARS.

Yeah, suuuure, he's going to do that. LMAO.

[TheBlackAdder]

17. You have to be registered by December 7th, and there is no time to complete that process in time.

.

A good realistic summary of the process.

The First Steps

Once you find a place to live in Georgia and start getting settled you’ll need to begin establishing official residency. This means transferring all of your information to Georgia and becoming a resident. Open a bank account and transfer your money from your current state to Georgia. Establish utilities in your name and complete an official address change with the United States Post Office. Gather all supportive documents and keep them in the same place. All of these documents help prove permanent residency.


Driver’s License and ID

Within 30 days of moving to Georgia, transfer your driver’s license and state identification card. Visit the Georgia Department of Driver’s Services and schedule an appointment. Bring your birth certificate, passport or immigration card to prove your identity and your lease agreement or a utility bill to prove that you now live in Georgia. You’ll surrender your current driver’s license and state ID and receive a temporary Georgia license and ID. Your permanent license and ID will arrive in the mail within a few weeks.


Register to Vote

Once you receive your ID, register to vote in Georgia. Download an application online or visit your local election office, public library or other government office for a mail-in form. It can take about three to four weeks to process your application. To register to vote you will need to be at least 18 years of age and prove what Georgia county you’re a resident of.

But, rubes are stupid, else they wouldn't be rubes.

22. Yeah, we researched it. Not only is it far fetched and likely fraudulent, just add up the numbers...

ONE BILLION DOLLARS will buy us 100,000 votes. Even the math is ridiculous. Putting rules and regs aside, the basic logistics of doing this are insane too. Who is going to quit their job and establish another residence with all that entails for only $10,000? You'd have to rent, and that would barely cover first, last, a security deposit (got to get that utility bill or lease agreement to document residency), much less the added cost of moving expenses and anything you'd owe for breaking your current lease. And if you are homeless, if you're smart you'd just take the $10,000 and run! And that's assuming he's handing out the money ahead of the move. So basically, you'd have to be in dire enough straits for this to be an incentive, and then where are you going to get the money to effect the move if you have to prove new residency to get the Soros hand-out?

Suspending rational thought, common sense, and logic are all requirements for believing this crap. I won't even get into critical thinking skills because they obviously never cultivated that enough to be able to set it aside.

[RVN VET71]

39. It's not true? Damn! I coulda used the $20,000 me and the wife'd've got.

If Soros was the big conspirator he's supposed to be, he would have done the math and figured a cheaper and more effective way to do it.

[Native]

55. Yeah, and he's obviously biased toward married couples.

$20,000 makes it a more enticing prospect.

[underpants]

18. Yes. For every $1,000,000 he spends it creates a whole 100 votes

Money well spent.

[stopbush]

19. It's amazing that these low-information voters are able to keep up with

the crazed CTs reeking from the RW fever swamps within hours of the latest nutty CT making the rounds.

[NightWatcher]

20. If we were smart, we'd just bus a few thousand Jacksonville Dems over the border and register in GA

Soros, Dm for Venmo

[bucolic_frolic]

37. Isn't this similar to when Rethugs sabotage our primaries by crossover votes, or changing parties

If a voter abides by the law in being eligible to vote, the problem is what - that Rethugs don't like it?

[58Sunliner]

21. Wow. I live in a neighborhood that is 96% AA in a blue city. Not on my radar.

I read about all of the BS some of you cope with and I'm grateful. Someone did steal my Biden/Harris sign though.

[Native]

23. I'm still driving around with my Biden/Harris car magnet on my trunk. Haven't been keyed yet...

but it's only a matter of time.

[58Sunliner]

24. You do live in Fla., anything can happen.

[Native]

25. Truer words have never been said.

[mcar]

26. So, where do I sign up for the 10 grand?

BTW, we took down our Biden yard sign last week. Our MAGA neighbors are still flying their freak flags.

[Native]

30. At least you didn't have to live through 2 golf cart parades RIGHT PAST YOUR FRONT DOOR!

Those that didn't directly participate showed their support by sitting on their driveways dressed in their MAGAT wardrobes with the full picnic set ups - cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and waving hand-held flags. An elderly neighbor who is wheel chair bound and lives 2 doors down from us drove her wheel chair out to the end of her driveway and was holding a video camera up to record the parade. This is a woman I've actually never seen out of the house in the 7 years we've lived here. She has aides who come and stay with her (day and night shifts), and yet there she was - all alone recording the pestilence as it rolled by.

P.S. - the 2nd parade was the biggest & best - cars & kids on bikes decked out with signs and flags even participated.
P.S.S. - not to mention an entire hour of horns blasting (they drove real slow).

[mcar]

42. That's horrifying

I had to go to the Villages last week. Since they can't display yard signs, it was relatively peaceful. But, one pickup truck turned a corner near me. You know how they have their Trump and confederate flags flying from poles attached to the bed of the pickup? This truck had, no lie, at least a dozen Trump flags. The bed was completely full. I thought the truck was going to tip over when it made the turn.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if some of these cultists commit suicide when their dear leader is no longer in charge.

[Native]

57. So you know how we don't go anywhere or do anything because of Covigula?

With both parades I managed to be either driving into or out of my community. First parade I was stuck behind them, and when I went to pass one of the stragglers, a golf cart that was trying to catch up to the rest of them, he flipped me off, and that was before he saw my Biden/Harris car magnet. Second parade, hands down the best one, I ran into them when I turned onto my street, so I got to see all my crazy neighbors celebrating to my right while the parade passed me on the left. I was smack dab in the middle of it all. How's that for timing?

[not fooled]

68. The red don head on Rambo's body giant flag is gone

from down the street. Definitely an improvement.

[Initech]

27. Someone needs to do a South Park style "THIS IS WHAT MAGA SUPPORTERS REALLY BELIEVE" video.

Because they believe some seriously crazy shit!

[Native]

31. I was just thinking I needed to start keeping a journal of this stuff.

[Initech]

33. I really wish I knew how to edit video!

That would get a few million hits on YouTube!

[blueinredohio]

28. He should have asked them to print it off for him.

[irisblue]

29. I'd move to Georgia for $10K from Soros. Sign me up

[sarcasmo]

32. Soros (Jewish) is a right wing dog whistle.

[Native]

34. And I love how it's "Castro" they've decided has this on his website.

I doubt these people even know the twin's first names.

[TryLogic]

47. Yes, dog whistle. Plus just a name to scream over and over in...

in their world of anti-(key word) marketing. They use anti-(key word) screams to rally around, like mindless morons or dazed zombies.

[ashredux]

35. Man, that Soros guy is pretty active for a 90 year old guy...

[wnylib]

67. Wait til you see what his ghost

does after he passes on. Death does not stop trumpists or Trump himself. Look how long he's been jousting with McCain's ghost.

[MadLinguist]

36. Mr. and Mrs. MAGA are perfectly welcome to move to Gerorgia themselves to offset the liberal hordes

on their way to the Peachtree state. Stan and Linda, I would say, should be the first ones to go, if they are so concerned about the direction of the Senate.

[Boomer]

40. It's a free country

Which means we can live in any state we want to, right?

[RVN VET71]

41. I hope these neighbors are unique in your neighborhood

If so, it's nice of them to identify themselves, via Trump signs, as abominably stupid fools willfully following the Q-Anon Jesus (by which I mean the morbidly obese liar stinking up our White House).

Of course, if they are indicative of your neighbors . . .nah, can't be or you would not have posted this encounter as a sadly humorous event. You'd be packing a moving van and heading off to a more civilized locale.

[Native]

49. This is west central Florida! They rep 97% of our community. Sadly, we can't move...

we have our own company, and we're in land development. This is where we have contacts and have established ourselves. We could move and get a license in another state, but we'd be living like paupers. No way we could start from scratch again at this point. When we retire, which isn't that far off, it won't matter where we live because we'll be traveling and sailing most of the time. Fortunately the 3% are in touch with one another, and there are always the blissfully ignorant, apolitical people that you can share interests with. Hard to believe they still exist, but there certainly seem to be quite a few in our neighborhood.

[AllaN01Bear]

44. snopes.com is our best friend on this nonsense.

facts facts dont overburden me with facts .

[Native]

46. Oh, but Snopes designated it as a "mixture" - partly false AND partly true.

That's more than enough to validate it in their minds.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

48. Is there a bottom to their pit of conspiracy theories? nt

[Native]

51. Probably, but nothing can dive that deep.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

53. Ha! Nothing can live that deep. The space is reserved for zombies only. nt

[yaesu]

50. I don't care what they think, never converse with them, could care less what happens to them, if

they force their way into my space I will deal with them appropriately. They are dangerous cult members & needed to be treated as such.

[Native]

52. But they have cute doggies that our puppy loves to frolic with!

[BobTheSubgenius]

60. I'm not sure this "Soros plot" for GA is as loony as Pizzagate,

but it's as stupid and easily debunked as that one.

Hey. Great counter-strategy. Start encouraging MAGAts move to GA as a part of this plan, but secretly vote Republican. It would be hysterical to see some of them go as far as driving to GA, but it might keep them busy for a while.

[Turbineguy]

61. 10 Grand???

Ask them if they have an application form. For all your DU Friends.

[Dreampuff]

62. That's funny!

Your magas appear to be as stupid as the ones we have here. Have you ever tried to sell them Oceanfront property in North Dakota? Many of them might fall for it.

63. It's strange, I guess, but it's like the smarter they are in other things...

the more they seem to fall for this crap. At least in my neighborhood.
