If you’re familiar with vertical scope forums They’re in the same boat we are. Their stock price has went to shit
Looks like they thought they were going to be the next reddit or quora. Looks like they may end up accelerating the death of many forums. It's too bad the movement to monetize and everything on the intrawebz is destroying quality content instead (see twitter, reddit, quora, etc).
 
I thought I covered it - the anti-hero narrative. The anti-hero can do no wrong and the bad guy (or gal in this case) needs to be stopped at all costs. Therefore going after Hillary was the just and right thing to do and going after Trump is deep state conspiracy.

Where it falls apart it is that it makes no sense that the deep state actors would go after Hillary since Trump is the target of the deep state conspiracy and Hillary is in cahoots with the deep state. To my knowledge nobody has come up with a plausible conspiracy explaining why the FBI torpedoed Hillary Clinton's campaign and I say "why try?" Just continue to focus on how evil Hillary and everything she represents is and who cares if there are inconsistencies in the narrative.

It's like a Star Wars movie, we accept that Vader doesn't recognize C3PO in Cloud City even though he built and spent his life as Aniken with C3PO. Why doesn't Obiwan Kenobi recognize R2D2 in A New Hope? We accept and ignore these incongruencies because not to accept them would ruin the story. So the Trump supporters conveniently ignore that Hillary's campaign was attacked by DOJ, FBI, etc because to acknowledge it ruins the deep state narrative. And Hillary is such an evil villan, who cares as long the hero (Trump) prevails.
It may be that there are literally thousands of protocol droids and service droids throughout the Star Wars universe. Case in point, Cloud City where 3PO runs into a similar model to itself and 3PO says "I am C3PO" and the other droid tells 3PO to go eat a diick in another language and 3PO says "How rude". Without knowing these droids service numbers Vader wouldn't know nor would Obiwan. To them they would be just another droid in a sea of other droids.
 
Society needs rules and laws. And if they aren’t enforced we see the effects in large cities likes Chicago, San Fran, port, etc
You can add Denver to that list. We haven't reached the San Fran/Chicago level where large retailers are fleeing the city, but it's definitely an issue. Ironically, I'm not sure if it's a law enforcement issue as much as a PR or political/cultural issue. IOW, when a shoplifter steals in St Louis Missouri, do the police high tail it there or make it a high priority crime? Is law enforcement better in Phoenix, AZ than Denve, CO? Or is it that you have mayors talking about defunding the police, systemic racism, etc and that emboldens the populations in those areas to break the law?

So Vader wouldn't recognize the droid he built with his own 2 hands and spent much of his life with? Especially when the droids in the Star Wars universe have personalities. Okay, maybe there is some remote possibility that this is the case. Obiwan Kenobi however served with R2D2 in the clone wars and R2D2 literally saved his life numerous times. Additionally, Kenobi knows R2D2's and Leia's backstories when he is reunited with R2D2 and sees the Leia hologram. How could he not put together the it's the same R2 unit? Another incongruency occurs in The Empire Strikes Back when R2 scans for the Force and cannot detect it. But by this time R2 has served in the clone wars with Aniken, Kenobi and numerous other Jedis so he's familiar with the Force. Again we let this go for the sake of the story. Much like Trump supporters ignore that the deep state FBI went after Hillary Clinton just like they've pursued Trump because to give credence to that fact ruins the whole deep state narrative.

Vader is not looking on the world with his OWN eyes remember? So things may look different. Not to mention 3PO did not have coverings when Annie left. Yeah... R2... he did kinda save Obiwan's life a few times. We should contact G. Lucas. Seems you and I have a few questions.

Aniken knew 3PO with his coverings. I don't have any questions for G Lucas as I understand suspension of disbelief in the setting of a sci-fiction movie/series - fiction being the operative word. I don't believe Star Wars is real, so those details don't bother me in the least. What I don't get is the suspension of disbelief when it concerns the deep state conspiracy theory, because people clearly believe the deep state exists and is out to get Trump, but don't seem the least bit bothered by the major plot holes in their non-fiction world... My questions are directed to them. And they'll go unanswered.

Yeah and I wasn't being serious.
 
Can we agree to disagree that all govt *****? They’re gonna Want money from us until they can’t squeeze anymore.
Unfortunately no... we all can't agree. That's the sad part. Some people in here think you have to be on one side or the other to be valid. Some people think that because historically the economy has been better under one party that we should look past all the corruption, lies, criminal acts, pandering, finger pointing, inflation, recession and so on that they are doing right in front of everyone and think by using the Jedi mind trick that nobody sees it.
 
I have no doubts that people in the government who dislike Trump have done and will do anything they can including 100% criminal acts to smear him in hope of preventing him from being President again.
I don't doubt there are people in gov't who dislike Trump or Hillary or Biden or whoever else might be running for office. That's a given. But that doesn't answer the central question. If there is a deep state conspiracy out to get Trump, then why did they attack Hillary Clinton instead? I have no doubt that there are people in the agencies in question that hate crime, intel breeches, etc. Is it possible that they're ones taking action in these cases? Makes more sense for sure, but doesn't fit the deep state narrative.
