Rapist-lover weirdo Matt Walsh, too

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 43 points 2 months ago

At least Matt Walsh is kind of niche. Mike Lindell has been all over people's TVs screaming about his pillows for years now.

They make red Harris hats like that?

There is no way that beard-colour is natural. It's weird-looking.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 months ago

I think he borrowed pubes from the jackass crew.

Lol wtf is this a comedy sketch?

His prospects are so bright, he has to wear shades, indoors.

That's so you can't see the nictitating membrane

All these conservatives going "undercover" to infiltrate the DNC is weird

[–] UnhingedFridge@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

They wish they were Borat.

Yeah why do they have weird fantasies about going into deep cover to... Attend a public event and hear a speech that's broadcast live everywhere? Lol

[–] experbia@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

they're so high from sniffing each other's farts that they believe the grift. they think they're gonna go in and see a mostly empty auditorium and "prove" that everyone is ai or actors. they think they're gonna drop a bomb of truth onto random dnc-goers and they'll go "omg! I didn't know! you're right, I do hate demons!" and flip. they think they're geniuses with secret knowledge that's as plain as day. they think they're going to catch them doing ritual abortions or some shit in the cafeteria and be famous for outing the secret demonrat cabal with proof finally. they're delusional and starved for the spotlight.

Good Liars and Walter Masterson videos have them all fired up

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's weird that he made such a big deal about shaving his pornstache.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At least he looks less like Paul Bearer now.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

OH MY GOD YES! That's who he always reminded me of. Thank you, I couldn't place it.

[–] ganksy@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In what world did he think he would come off as anything other than a psychopath railing his bullshit on some 13yo kid?? Better yet, this extremely intelligent kid rolled him. It's unraveling so spectacularly for the maga world. I just don't know what to do with my emotions.

The fantasy world that exists only is his messed up little head

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Would have been funnier if he has shaved his mustache and slapped on a fake

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Made out of cat hair and maple syrup in order to impersonate a guy who doesn't have a moustache.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The sunglasses indoors and hat kind of draws attention. That and his weird mate filming him with the company name on it

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I don’t like to speculate, but do you think Mike Lindell might just be incredibly stupid?

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

its a known fact crack kills brain cells

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

I have a feeling he wasn't even all that smart before the crack.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

He’s 2 pegs short of a bag of pegs that’s for sure

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lindell! We've got Lindell here! See? Nobody cares.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

My god he was dressed like him from Jurassic park!

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why did he have to shave off his mustache? It's almost as if he knows that he would be immediately dismissed for being an idiot...it's like he's this close to being self aware, knowing he's an idiot but stopping short and saying "this way people won't immediately think I'm an idiot".

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I honestly think that he is so stupid that he thinks no one would recognize him when he started ranting at them about a stolen election at the top of his lungs with his heavy Minnesota accent.

[–] jumjummy@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

And he got verbally taken down by a 12 year old. Sounds like Mike never learned the quote “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” -Mark Twain
