Yeah, he had no idea what was going on. A cop asked him a question, and he just lied on instinct.

Now there's a phrasing...

Thet benefit by feeling closer to (what they imagine is) their culture. We're talking about people who left for some quick cash and ended up spending 30, 40 years there. They have a daughter that's born there, grew up there, and never lived outside of there, and they worry she'll be sad when she has to break up with her boyfriend "when we all move back home". They feel like they're separated from their nation because they are, and psychologically deny this by voting for someone so rabidly and loudly nationalist they can hear him all the way in Frankfurt.

It's similar to folks from, idk, Boston, who will occasionally vacation in Ireland and conclude "they're not Irish at all over there, they don't even paint rivers green on St. Patty's!"

Diaspora, while benefiting from free movement and pluralusm, often feel like they're losing their identity. In turn, they seek to symbolically reassert this identity by remote-voting for the most far-right maniac they can find. The fact that such a maniac would never have let them in, and will ruin the country, doesn't bother them as they don't live there anymore.

I often get the feeling those people see everyone who voices dissent as one big amorphous blob. It's as if every conversation on a topic is part of one long argument, and you get assigned every claim that anyone ever made. Almost like they watched that "moops" alt-right playbook video and drew the exact wrong conclusion.

I was under the impression it was the "Hillary warned us" and "Putin is behind everything" crowd, since it mirrors the MAGA saviour and conspiracy fantasies.

JavaScript is by far the worst.

Good idea, but change the "someone" to "somebody". Breaking rules on purpose doesn't work if you also break them on accident.

ROI of on-grid solar, just in general, is 5-7 years. Down from 10-15 some 10-15 years ago.

Now that's a blast from the past

Have you considered "not voting for whoever is served to you is treason" messaging could also be a psyop to depress voter turn out by making people disgusted with politics in general?
