On a side note, r/the_donald is divided in their ranks on if they should even use the word Russiagate in reference to this "hoax". They still haven't gotten to which spin theory to adopt. Some of the top upvoted comments on posts are entirely in Russian.

They're not coping well right now.

I mean, how you claim it's a hoax when Donald Trump Jr goes out and screams "yeah I did it, here's the receipts too". I think it's why it's the dumbest move he could have done. It achieves nothing.

Yeah. We're starting the transition of 'The whole Russia hacking and collusion is a dumb conspiracy nobody worth anything believes' to 'So what? It's not illegal, it was worth it to take down Hillary, and Obama & Hillary are worse and got away with it too.'

They're at the absolute height of lunacy conspiracy theories right now. They think, like, Hillary and the DNC tricked Trump Jr. into colluding with the Russians. And that the Russian contacts Trump Jr used are actually Obama plants.

To say it doesn't make any sense and is stupid as all hell is a huge understatement. Its also not even a defense, it's a pathetic attempt to deflect and say the Democrats are the real bad guys because they knew Trump people were stupid enough to fall into their trap.

It's even worse because they're out of school for the summer and have time to sit and concoct this shit.

That's like saying it's the police's fault for planting cars to catch people breaking into cars.

The PSA interview with Franken a couple days ago was fucking awful. He didn't sound that good and Lovett was just terrible. What a bizarre mismatch it turned out to be.

It's like a Subreddit/Forum version of Infowars. Bunch of right wing crazies discussing conspiracy theories and shit-talking Democrats/Liberals.

Like, I try not to stereotype, but my mind just automatically formed an image of the type of person who would post there.

The American posters, I mean, not the ones who eat borscht for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I saw that Tucker Carlson interviewed a gamergator about the violence of ANTIFA tonight...

Yeah. It's interesting in retrospect about Gamergate was partly talked about in how awful gamers are when it was really just the symptom/branch of a much wider problem.

You mean young, heterosexual white men who've been puffed and pampered their whole lives and can't cope with the fact that they really ain't shit?

Rough estimate? 1 in 5 posts contains some reference. The articles/posts about specific people--especially Liberal Men--contained substantially more. There was one about the impeachment filings and it was littered with people calling him a cuck.

Some people dug up an old legal opinion published by the White House's Office of Legal Counsel, a few days before Nixon Resigned. Their conclusion was that a sitting President does not have the authority to Pardon himself, but outline two somewhat convoluted processes a sitting President could receive a pardon.

I fully expect Trump to pardon his entire family and himself before this is all over.

The idea is that someone who partakes in cuckolding is a Beta Male, since he has to watch his wife/gf being taken by another--despite the fact that those who cuckold generally get a mutual enjoyment. It was originally "beta cuck" and then they just shorted it to calling people the disagreed with cucks, essentially saying they were less manly and therefore their opinions were irrelevant. T_D is rife with racism and sexism left and right, the Alt Right in general is entirely a result of straight white men lashing out because they suck.

Yeah, there's also the racist connotation that they think their white girlfriends (like they exist) wanna cheat on them with black men.

My pet theory is that it's related to the rise of NTR on 4chan (have fun googling that one), and cuckoldry naturally rose in use as a kinda-sorta english equivalent term. It also helps that, as neurosisxeno pointed out, it ties in nicely with the whole alpha/beta male ideology they hold.
