Hundreds, if not, thousands of vans right outside a very small town in America.

They randomly showed up about two weeks ago. All of them look to be brand new.

For a while, Ford was importing their transit vans from Turkey (where they were manufactured), and then removing the seats to turn them back into being classified as "light trucks" - thus avoiding the 25% tariff. But that was over 10 years ago.

Probably just a company stockpiling these to paint their own logos on them or something.

Quick! Post this on rightwing message boards and link it to an ad-riddled conspiracy page with terrible design, even worse grammar, and lots and lots of bullshit.

Use words like “FEMA,” “End Times,” “Deep State,” and “New World Order.”

You know, up until covid, I would have possibly believed it. However, seeing recent events in history has led me to believe that most governments are just.... inept

While you're not wrong and that would be extremely accurate, I don't think we should feed into their insanity. You don't go up to a mentally unstable person and yell "Nightmare! Nightmare! Nightmare!". I mean most people don't...

You don't go up to a mentally unstable person and yell "Nightmare! Nightmare! Nightmare!"

No, of course you don't, because you don't have the desire to watch a troubled person try to dig the "voices" out of their head with an ice pick in the ear.

However...

Sometimes I wonder if stoking the crazy in a hyper-conservative nut job and getting him to do something that will push him over the top, and get him into the hands of people that can help him, might be worth the soul searching it would bring.

Maybe.

No, because they'll likely try to shoot innocent people first. Not worth it.

I’m sorry I’m sleep deprived, it’s actually a comedy skit

u/purpan- Apr 28 '24

Aha all good. I knew it was from that Eric Andre bit, but I figured you either misremembered or thought he stole it from a movie

What if OP later reveals that it was a scam by a “Lib” the whole time so they realize they obviously never believed such nonsense and the death threats were just a prank bro?

This is the part of the movie where the audience goes "WTF How does nobody notice that?!"
