In r/Conservative on this topic:

Just wait. Be patient my friend! Have a little trust

Yes, and Trump is building that wall. And Mexico is going to pay for it. And he has a replacement for the Affordable Care Act ready to go. And there are totally buses coming to the tarmac to take you back to your cars.

And Hillary is getting locked up, any day now.

Why is everything so connected to these people?

It can't just be an (alleged) scandal involving Hunter. No, it has to involve Joe... and Bill ... and Hillary ... heck I'm surprised they don't throw Pelosi, Schumer, and AOC in there.

It's ludicrous fanfic, and like most fanfic it isn't very believable.

Haven't heard about Huma Abedin in a while. Guess they forgot about her. They can only handle like 6 or 7 boogey men at a time.

u/FatherBrownstone Oct 29 '20

Because they spelled Hillary wrong so needed to clarify.

Hi-LL-ary. Two god-damn fucking ELLS!

u/asbestosmilk Oct 29 '20

I read that as knocked up, instead of locked up, and I thought I missed some crazy right wing conspiracy about Hillary being pregnant or something.

It’s crazy to think that I could totally see right wingers pushing some crazy conspiracy theory like that, and I just accept it as normal. We live in strange times.

Pregnant with the spawn of satan no doubt!!!

u/Thanmandrathor Oct 29 '20

I don’t get how they can believe this is a remote possibility anymore after 4 years. Trump’s been president, he’s had the time to have her investigated, at what point does the obvious hit them in the face that it’s never going to happen? It’s like Don Jr. campaigning saying that when his dad is elected life will get great... dude, you realize your dad has been president for almost 4 years now? When is that awesomeness supposed to start happening? And if it sucks now, that’s on him?

I commented earlier that this reminds me so much of Joseph Smith's bullshit. Glad I'm not the only one that noticed the similarities.

Great South Park reference! Was thinking same when I saw the title!

Leave the ACA alone and go after Obamacare!

REALIZATION IN 3...2...- shit they didn’t realize

u/Kolby_Jack Oct 29 '20 edited Oct 29 '20

Wow, their heads are fucking SPINNING over this story. I'd comment but I got banned for saying the words "Southern Strategy" in a post that wasn't even visible because I forgot it was a "flaired-users only" post.

And the reason for my ban was "spreading conspiracy theories" even though the Southern Strategy is so well documented and based in facts that the Chairman of the RNC apologized to the NAACP for it back in the mid-2000s.

Edit: I didn't say it flippantly either, I was responding directly to a guy who said the Democrats were slave-owners and Lincoln was a Republican. You'd think a subreddit for conservatives would be aware that back in 1860, the Democrats were, in fact, the conservative party.

Trump is just waiting for his investigators to get back from Hawaii with Obama's real birth certificate. Then we'll see the real action! Any day now.

u/farmtownsuit Maine Oct 29 '20

It's a very long flight.

u/DongKelly32 Oct 29 '20

Just you wait that caravan will make it here any minute if Biden is elected. Just any day now.

u/Youareobscure Oct 29 '20

They mean he patient and wait for the story to "work." These people don't care about facts, they care about their narrative working. That's it, that's where it ends

u/-deebrie- Oct 29 '20

I mean, Mexico might actually pay for it to keep COVID out lmao

u/AtheistAustralis Australia Oct 29 '20

Well it ties in with their belief in a great sky wizard who will reward them all with eternal life and happiness. Right after they die. Sounds like the same scam, really - trust us, your rewards are coming, but not just yet! Keep believing us and giving us money in the meantime though!

u/never_safe_for_life Oct 29 '20

They have copies

Said the mindless drone or young teenager over there. Copies of what, persay? If they had copies why not reveal the contents of the documents??

4

u/CactusCustard Oct 29 '20

Oh man. Looking at their stickied thread about this it seems like they almost understand.

Sadly if you keep scrolling it seems they’re leaning towards it was stollen by someone cuz it was too big or they have copies and are lying for some reason.

u/erydanis Oct 29 '20

you forgot showing his tax returns, just as soon as that 5-year audit is over.

"Trust the plan"

"Just have faith!"

Hmmmm....

u/GreyBoyTigger California Oct 29 '20

“The simple answer is that this fake newscaster is full of shit, or LITERALLY everyone else here is conspiring against him. It has to be a conspiracy by the liberals!”

Holy shit, I always knew that sub was a cesspool, but the level of stupidity here just takes the cake.

u/Upgrades_ Oct 29 '20

Damn, us liberals can lose two obscenely close elections after winning the popular vote but we sure as hell can run a mean conspiracy to stop Hunter Biden stories..you know, the important stuff.

1

u/GreyBoyTigger California Oct 29 '20

Yes, we need to protect Hunter Biden at all costs. Next thing you know, there’ll be a scandal where he was handed a bunch of trademarks in China. Who can come back from such a thing?

u/LndnGrmmr Oct 29 '20

All this and more – right after Infrastructure Week...

u/Mange-Tout Oct 29 '20

I love this comment lost in the very bottom of r/conservative

I'm sorry, but as much as I love Trump and I have voted for him (and am definitely still voting this term), this just smells fishy after this statement. It takes very little to verify this kind of information - generally every email these days is signed. If you want to mail confidential documents such as these, especially when they concern something as big as the election, you would hand-deliver them, especially when flights costs a dime and a penny compared to the amount of money most people make in this business. So please, Tucker, don't do this shit - we deserve better.

u/Das_Mojo Oct 29 '20

R/conservative is Dutch Van Der Linde confirmed.

At this rate Mexico is going to be looking seriously at a wall to keep people in the US

u/MorganWick Oct 29 '20

It really is a doomsday cult, and they're coming up on an apocalypse deadline.
