Nah it’s a white collar business crime / fraud for a first offender there’s no way he’s going to jail. On the other hand it makes the penalty phase of any conviction for the RICO case in Georgia a lot more serious

Edit - thanks for the reddit cares - nothing says “I’m a chicken shit trumper who can’t participate in a the dialogue outside /r/conservative safe space” than abusing reporting in this manner. It’s like a “special upvote”. Thanks!!!

The only reason i have any hope of consequences for this one is that another first-time offender went to jail for the same crime. it's only a little bit of hope . . .

I had a Trumper report me for "abuse," as well, when I asked him to quote what part of the gag order prevented Trump from taking the stand.

It's so much fun seeing such wimps pretend to be the tough guys.

I once had a Trumper literally scream he had contacts and would "erase me" by PM. He was banned in a day.

Lol the "special upvote". I also got one after a Trump comment. These fragile snowflakes really have no other way to express themselves. I'm disappointed I only got the one special upvote so far.

It's funny how reverse things are going for them as they were all calling us snowflakes just a few years ago, now they have to hide in /r/Conservative cutting down any speech that doesn't agree with their cult.

to be fair, this is r/politics where bots massive downvote every opinion that could be interpreted as conservative so you can't even see the comment unless you click the little button

Bots aren't people my friend.

You guys are late to the party. The "special upvote" has been going on everywhere since last night for any comment about anything. Has nothing to do with politics as far as I can tell. Just somebody fucking with reddit on a massive scale.

Interesting didn’t realize that. You’d think they would just disable the feature already.

It's only hitting certain subreddits, apparently. I haven't gotten any from multiple comments in r/baseball but got one almost immediately after commenting in r/politics.

u/kickaguard May 16 '24

I got my first two from r/nottheonion and r/drugs. Figured it was everywhere.

u/kickaguard May 16 '24

That may be why they did it the way they did. Reddit can't very well disable the feature for sending somebody a message if you're concerned for their safety.

Is that why I got a Reddit Cares thing? Lol.

Haha conservative snowflakes gonna snowflake

Eh, it's a white collar business crime which generally isn't worth jail time... but Trump has been doing everything possible to signal that he is utterly unrepentant and to piss of the judge. There's a small but non negligible chance he talks himself into jail time here.

I've promised myself if I get one more Reddit cares message, I'm reporting that moron and he's getting his ass banned. We'll soon see if anyone wants to martyr themselves in an attempt to annoy me.
