Reading about all the gullible rubes who are completely blindsided that they didn’t get a pardon reminds me of when I was a kid and I’d eat at a casino and I’d watch people get real excited about *almost* winning Keno.
And then they wouldn’t win.
And then they’d buy another Keno ticket.
Repeat.
They get to spend a majority, if not the rest, of their lives thinking about the fact that he did not come through for them or give one shit about them.
Like, of course
he wasn’t gonna
pardon you,
ya dummies.
If you were
bleeding to death
on the street,
he’d step over
you on his way to
get a Big Mac.
Also, I don’t know who needs assistance understanding this very important point, but just because someone gets sucked into QAnon or any other conspiracy theory, it doesn’t mean they have a mental illness, nor should it be a factor in considering if they have one.
In fact, it would be cool if people just stopped throwing that around any time someone doesn’t fit into their extremely unrealistic, inaccurate view of humanity.
