Seriously, WHAT is THE DEAL with conservative disinformationists scattering ALL-CAPS WORDS throughout EVERYTHING they WRITE?

My THEORY is that it's MEANT as a SUBSTITUTE for LOGIC and REASON - that in LIEU of saying things that are ACTUALLY logical, reasonable or true, they JUST say things really LOUDLY.

It MUST be TRUE because it's so EMPHATIC, right?

And it PROBABLY triggers a PAVLOVIAN response in the DUNDERHEADS who READ it. "LOOK at all the CAPS! This is MY kind of TRUTHINESS!"

It's just... WEIRD. And sort of PATHETIC.

If you Want to be REALLY TRUMPIAN you need to also Sprinkle in a Bunch of words that are Merely Capitalized rather than Always using ALL CAPS!!!!!!!!1

Ow. I think I pulled a reading muscle.

Wouldn't that just make it more German than anything else?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, in German they capitalize all nouns, but Trump does it at random.

It's because instead of using logic to reason, they use emotion: usually outrage, fear, uncertainty, anger, distrust. All while of course projecting the 'overly emotional and illogical' stamp onto "bleeding heart liberals".

Caps conveys what their audience pays attention to.

This is actually from a mad-libs book she did

When your chosen communication style is "begging letters from a faith healer"

It's a form of poetry that appeals to skimmers who want the tone and feeling with the fewest possible nouns to remember.

I absolutely support her going to jail for Trump.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm saving this when she inevitably cuts a deal to throw Trump under the bus for leniency

Dear Laura,

Fame and fortune awaits!

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She only lasted two hours at Xitter.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Why did she lock herself up there?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think she got banned from them, back when they were a normal social media platform. And she locked herself to one door, so everyone going in used the other door and didn't care. Someone else posted a link about it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

she did it over getting banned? Hilarious

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Fuck knows what the crazy person thinks.

Ahem:

Thank you for your time.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I must say that I am willing for him to go to jail with Trump.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Of course. Apologies

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

This girl must really love pegging Donnie on the daily

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Threatening us with a good time, I see.

Two crazies locked up with one sentencing?

Ok then.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Find someone that looks at you the way this lunatic looks at Trump.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

She crzay af, make me jealous :(

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

This sounds like a real win-win. Looks like the swamp is trying to drain itself

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I wonder where they'll find handcuff keys at Riker's Island.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Sombwody's in wuuuuuvvvv.

She won't go to jail for him though. This is just a preliminary call for all the fascists to get ready to incite violence if he loses the election.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Not enough exclamation marks. I can't take it seriously.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Huh, guess I'll go to jail then

He'll feel like home because he grew up 3 miles away

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

They can grow old in prison together. Just remember to not let her out once Trump is gone.
