              Nonono, you have to auto-generate it using Midjourney or Stable Diffusion, so that it’s unique and rare. Only rare coins gain value over time.

              Also, don’t right-click and save because that would be considered stealing!

          I never gave out any of that shit. Gold didn’t mean anything. It’s just artificial scarcity.

          Why would you add scarcity online where it doesn’t exist? Only to make money. People will look back on all the stupid shit we put up with online just to make everything “free”.

            people can simply make a donation already, if they like. all of the extra work and resources required to run a coin and rewards system, track earning/spending and accounts, plus a secure payment system, etc… that would all cost a lot of time and resources. and that would require even more donations to pay for and maintain.

            you’re right: it’s not useless, it’s worse than useless.

            if you want to donate, just do that. if you want unconditional love, adopt a puppy.

    It’s going to say trump has always known this, but that he didn’t want to see civil war and he knew his supporters would “stand up for what’s right” if they knew.

    They’ll be no actual proof of anything.

    Just the vague accusations that Biden stole the election like he’s been saying since the election

    But at least some of his supporters are dumb enough they’ll do 1/6 part two to stop trump from being “silenced” by “a total nothingburger”.

    Probably at least one reference to Nelson Mandela depending on who writes it.

    It won’t be to convince anyone that’s not already a diehard trumpet. Just trying to instigate them to violence. trump would 100% start a civil war if he thought he’s actually going to be held accountable

      I don’t think so.

      Essentially everybody who was going to murder for Trump has already done so or attempted to do so.

      The entire paramilitary wing of Trumpism is behind bars because of January 6th. Everybody left knows they are being watched.

      Even the most deluded know they are only years away from their retirement. They are going to go.back to football and essential oils, and like Bush, they will pretend they were against Trump the entire time.

      I foresee right wing terror returning to essentially lone wolf attacks on children or chitches.

            They said, immediately before underestimating fascists…

            Money helps, but these idiots really think they’ll overthrow the deep state so 5k in credit card debt doesn’t matter to them.

            That’s more than enough for them to take a week off work and drive to wherever trump tells them to show up. Likely with guns or explosives.

            Even if 99% won’t do it, that 1% of the dumbest trump supporter is still a lot of people.

            You’re underestimating their stupidity, desire for violence, and complete detachment from reality.

              I am underestimating none of those things. I fully expert lone wolf nutcases to continue their plots. I’m stating that the organizational infrastructure that was there to help guide them during the Trump era is now gone.

              I understand a continuation of a grand conspiracy is somehow more comforting than the reality that fascist movements are already plotting what post-trump action looks like, but I assure you, the grand conspiracy stage is finished for the moment.

            Qanon got it into their tiny little heads that JFK Jr was alive, or risen from the dead, and would lead them to their promised white Christian ethnostate or something.

            I maintain, as my personal unfounded theory, some rot-brain heard RFK Jr was on their team and assumed it was a typo, then decided to start writing a fan fic.
