How much will the democrats boost him for an "easy opponent"?

GOP Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson says that Beyoncé is "satanic," that the 1969 moon landing may have been fake

Okay that's a little silly, I don't...

and that there's a ruling class of secretive reptiles.

Let's just hear him out

[–] JuneFall@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

As part of the ruling class and one of the secretive reptiles he ought to know after all. /s

I like how this article pretends that this basically isn't already the Republican platform at this point.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But the libs need to know there are noble republicans so they can keep their West Wing mindset and their myth of American exceptionalism.

the moon landing being fake seems so plausible to me. but it just doesnt matter enough for me to get too interested in

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He doesn't even say it was fake, but that it "may have been faked" which is like, obviously true unless you have a God's-eye view of history

[–] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

lol true. ur comment got me curious and i looked at the article. this is their only source for the moon landing shit

this is even less skeptical than if he said it “may have been fake”. western media is such a joke, they cant even dunk on conservatives right. he said ONE thing abt it 6 years ago and they thought it warranted inclusion in the subhead

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Classic lib shit. Nice work digging this up

[–] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

rat-salute it was no major feat, comrade! happy to shed some light on some liberalism!

[–] Redcat@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

'the moon landing /may/ have been fake'

lol, weak

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's weird to me that the moon landing is part of this. I would expect the unconditional jingoism of the GOP would be strong enough that, even if it were obviously fake, they would insist that it was real. Or is it because it was done by nerds and Democrats and not "real Americans" so it doesn't count?

[–] eatmyass@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

I've run into a lot of chuds post-2020 who are going "every conspiracy is true, just give it enough time." I'm not even sure they understand the implications of such a thing, they just have decided "coastal elites" believe the moon landing is real, therefore they believe its fake. Real contrarian hours who up

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

I dunno. Maybe there's some underground conspiracy theory that proclaims NASA is woke and the devil. "Underground" in the sense that the theory hasn't gone mainstream. Yet?

2 out of 3 ain't bad

Meanwhile when you say: "Feeding kids is alright" you are run through some towns.
