When the lawmaker later called the number affiliated with the order, it went to the state police in Indianapolis. Hoax pizza deliveries have been a favored tactic of MAGA supporters who have tried to enforce loyalty to Trump and his agenda...“The whole idea is, We know who you are. We know where you live,” the Indiana lawmaker said. “They’re trying to intimidate us.”

Interesting how this is a right wing tactic.

I guess people on the left have more respect for the actual humans making and delivering the food.

The lawmaker said Republicans should be trying to win elections on the merits, not through gerrymandering: “If you’re not confident enough in your policies that you think that it’s going to have a negative impact on your politics, then maybe you need to be doing something different.”

A self-aware Republican politician? In Indiana?! Am I taking crazy pills?

I think it's important to know that there are two different types of republican politicians. The true believer and the grifter. A good example of the former is MTG she has beliefs that she will actually stick to and won't just go with whatever the party line is. However they will still always side with the Republicans they aren't good people they just actually have values.

Decades of lying, cheating and stoking violence is backfiring on Republicans?! I'm shocked! Well, not that shocked.

Lol Hoax pizza deliveries. So what we're saying here is that MAGA is 4chan. That makes absolutely perfect sense.

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

Same emotional intelligence.

[-] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 days ago

4chan literallly birthed QAnon and MAGA. Have we forgotten this already?

[-] scintilla@crust.piefed.social 20 points 2 days ago

Most people do not know how truly influential 4chan is. If I had never been down the alt right pipeline I would think it crazy to blame gamer gate for trump when they are so intricatly linked it would take a collage level course to explain it.

[-] SuperNovaStar 8 points 2 days ago

Robert Evans (Host of Behind the Bastards) has talked a lot about 4chan, 8chan, and how gamergate, qanon, and trump are all linked. He really does great work.

[-] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

He absolutely does!

If the left did the same shit, we might get things accomplished.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

If the left did this shit we'd be dead

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Yeah, Trump and the other Nazis are literally trying right now to provoke a violent response out of the left so they can declare martial law, end all elections, and put us all into camps.

[-] fodor@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

You can't get baited into it when they don't need bait. They'll do whatever they think they can get away with and just lie about your actions.

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Indiana leads the nation in cruelty, stupidity and selfishness. I've always said it was the worst state.

[-] darkmarx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

There is a line in The West Wing that comes to mind. "Indiana is voting for Richie (republican nominee). If there were someone less qualified than Richie, that's who Indiana would vote for."

[-] hanrahan@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago

Surely that's the role of Texas ?

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Texas at least has good food, an interesting music scene. I assure you Indiana is just as loud racist and obnoxious with absolutely no cool stuff

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

I wouldn't even put Indiana in the top 10 worst states.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I'm curious how you'd order it, but I agree that it's not quite in that top level of awfulness. In no particular order I'd definitely put Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama, Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky ahead of it. Next tier I'd say would be Indiana along with Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Missouri, Utah, and the Carolinas, maybe Georgia too.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Louisiana and ohio are definitely in the top tier, but the exact order would likely change day to day. And you completely forgot Idaho. Which somehow flies under the radar of shitbag states. Alaska is up there too.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Idaho and Alaska (along with Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas) didn't make the cut for me merely by small population size, though another way of thinking about that is they have higher suckitude per capita. And after looking it up Idaho is actually ahead of West Virginia in population, so I guess I'd throw it in the second tier, I just don't feel like I hear about Idaho's suckiness beyond a local or regional level, whereas West Virginia fucked us nationally with Joe Manchin.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Idaho probably has the highest rate of white supremacists per capita.

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I won't defend Idaho's political make up, but at least it's got natural beauty, and a couple of cool ass old hippies hanging about. Indiana is even more policaly defunct, just with more pig shite. And Indiana is basically a ku klux clan state

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

West Virginia at least gave us a couple of cool country bangers. Idaho has contributed ku klux clan

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Mississippi is still a state. Indiana has nothing on Mississippi, or Alabama, or Louisiana.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Seriously, let them at least have something.
