RIGHT-WING VOTERS HALLUCINATE LIKE AI

Remember this story from yesterday?
Trump to patrol DC streets with police and military

President Trump said he plans to go out on patrol with the Metropolitan Police Department and National Guard troops around Washington, D.C., on Thursday night amid a federal crackdown on crime.

“I’m going to be going out tonight, I think, with the police and with the military, of course. So we’re going to do a job,” Trump told conservative radio host Todd Starnes on his show.
Did Trump actually go out on patrol last night? No, he didn't.
No patrol but Trump visits police, military in DC as he touts anti-crime push

... Trump visited the U.S. Park Police Anacostia Operations Facility in Southeast D.C., which is serving as the gathering point for all the agencies involved in the operation, thanking officers and members of the military and delivering hamburgers from the White House and pizza.

Trump left the White House in the presidential limousine -- nicknamed "the Beast" -- with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller Thursday afternoon to visit the facility....

The president spoke for several minutes....

In a radio interview earlier Thursday, Trump said he would be "going out tonight" with the law enforcement and military, but he returned to the White House after the visit to the facility.
But it doesn't matter, apparently. Like AI hallucinating "facts" that aren't real, or legal or scientific citations that don't exist, Trump fans immediately began making memes of the Trump patrol that never happened.

Republican voters will remember this as something that actually happened, because right-wing media said it would and then they saw fake video of it.

Republicans' brains are so cooked that they see every moment in life as an End Times battle between pure evil and pure good. I'm particularly gobsmacked by their response to the Cracker Barrel rebranding.


Sure, the new logo is bland and sterile, and it's not clear why it needed to be changed (except for the fact that top executives of aging corporations think they get paid the big bucks to do this kind of tinkering -- see the recent ridiculous rebranding of HBO Max as Max, then as HBO Max again, but with a slightly redesigned logo). But Republicans think this is all about "wokeness" and liberalism:

Yes, this is all about Joe Biden, as we learn from an actual U.S. senator:


The new logo was released during the second Trump administration. The old logo endured throughout the Biden presidency. But Republican voters are hallucinating that the change is all Biden's fault.

They want revenge against this woke mass hallucination:


They may be getting what they wanted:
Cracker Barrel shed almost $100 million in market value after its stock plunged Thursday following the release of a new logo. The new design eliminates a longstanding drawing of an overall-clad man leaning against a barrel, in favor of a cleaner logo featuring just the chain's name.

Shares of Cracker Barrel fell $4.22, or 7.2%, to $54.80 in Thursday trading, shedding $94 million in market value. The stock had dipped to a low of $50.27 earlier in the day, representing a loss of almost $200 billion in its capitalization.
This is how ordinary Republicans think. They're trained to see undiluted evil in everything that isn't part of their world, which they see as purely virtuous. And someday they may kill or imprison us all in response to their hallucinations.
