Worse. Trump worshiping religious fanatics.
>”They were just so hell-bent on Trump winning, like this could be in the end if he doesn’t,” Stabley said, referring to an instance when he saw them just before the 2020 election. He said he stopped seeing the two after that.
I don’t have any empathy left for these people.
E: Spamming my inbox with messages from the suicide help bot is a good example of why people like me can’t be bothered to give a shit what happens to you stupids.

Your response truly saddens me. I’ve been out and dealing with anti-LGBT hate for 30 years, but I still wouldn’t wish this upon anyone and I’m able to have empathy and compassion for their plight. These people- hateful as they may seem-were, if anything, victims of the lies spread by right-wing propaganda and the orange buffoon. Unfortunately there are a lot more people who have been poisoned by this rhetoric, so I fear that things are really going backwards for us at this point. Time to be prepared.

You must know them very well. Or are making assumptions based on some comments here and will defend them with "well because of this, they must be like that".
This is r/Pennsylvania though, so I'll probably be downvoted, but this is a tragic situation. And the comments here show why these people will never reach out for help and ultimately never change their beliefs.
It also seems that people here have forgotten that they had family and friends who will be effected by this.
Edit: Would just like to point out I accurately called out the downvotes lol. You people are so very predictable.

I would like to not see people pushed into becoming radicalized as a start. There were a series of failures and coincidences that lead to this family dying. I highly doubt they got to the point they were over night.
Also, because of their political beliefs/religious choices people are shitting all over them without actually knowing them. People here got a snippet into their life from a news article, and a neighbors commentary and suddenly know everything about them.
underscore5000 t1_j77l8qc wrote
If these people were Trump fanatics after EVERYTHING he has done prior to even running politically...they were already radicalized. If you want to start pointing fingers at HOW they became radicalized...look up the people actively voting to defund education and health care in this country. That's where you can start the blame then. Me personally? I choose to blame the adults who chose to not think like rational adults, but defunding education can assist in making that a pipe dream.
QuickNature t1_j77mji5 wrote
Yeah, and here is my problem with pretty much everything being said about this family. It all starts with If because no one actually knows them.
I am not debating politics right now, I am saying it's tragic not only because a family died, but for their surviving family members and friends. No one here actually knows them, and the speculation about them is just one big circle jerk of people agreeing with each other.
Also, I never mentioned when they may have been radicalized, just that it may have occured, and if this sub is at all representative of PA, I could see why they became reclusive. The hate and vitriol towards absolutely anyone who isn't extreme left and also apparently atheist now is absolutely disgusting.

I grew up 15 minutes from here. Red Lion, PA (another nearby York suburb) went down the Trump hole to the extreme. This entire story and their beliefs are completely unsurprising if you’ve spent any amount of time here.

This is Reddit. Any response less belligerent than gleeful smugness that there are 3 less “Trumptards” and “religious fanatics” is considered insufficiently supportive to the “communities” that Orange man “harms.” There are a lot of genuinely sick people, especially here on the internet, especially in heavily moderated upvote consensus-manufacturing apps, that openly wish the half of the country who disagrees with them would keel over and die.

What is the evidence that the suicide pact was based on politics? I saw the girl’s video postings suggesting she was severely schizophrenic, saying she was abdicating the throne of England and she was the antichrist. I was thinking she is seriously mentally ill and the parents felt they couldn’t seek help due to their religion.

They were all Q-anon lunatics that withdrew from society to let their various mental problems metastasize.
I don’t think they thought it was about politics, but I can draw a straight line for you from Trumpy-Qanon-Evangelical-homeschooled beliefs (and conspiratorial media consumption) that leads right to delusions, depression, isolation, paranoia and thinking that murder/suicide is the best course of action.

Her family is one thing, but I don't think she was in a position to be holding any "genuine, authentic" beliefs when she was clearly in a state of psychosis.
Her youtube videos explain that she was under surveillance by the Trump admin and that he was taking part of violating her human rights.
So, her beliefs seem to be all over the map.
Almost as if she was mentally ill or something...

it's more than religion IMO ... it's celebrity / institution worship
we are practically programmed from a very early age to accept XYZ person/organization/institution as the final say, as the ultimate, unchanging truth.
this ties into government and corporations too - in the same way people seem to think the US government can do no wrong there are people who think elon musk can do no wrong...
the worst of it is the central banks - without any doubts, we all trust that money will just "work" and isn't inherently corrupted or corruptible despite central bankers being just another tiny series of greedy, manipulatable, biased, coercible [etc] human beings... an intuition as fallible as any.
surely the best solution would be a system of rules, without rulers... something rooted in nature that maintains a verifiably ledger/record of truth for everyone and anyone- based on energy itself perhaps... and at least with regard to money, this actually exists now- don't overlook bitcoin, it's perhaps the most important discovery our species has ever made in the effort to stop worshiping and trusting, god-kings and centralized institutions and instead rely on a properly decentralized, for-the-people-by-the-people monetary network.

Watch the videos on YouTube. There is no rational thought. It's a collection of gibberish strung together with trump god and the queen in the same sentence.
I might have agreed with you before watching. Or if she was making political arguments in her videos but they are just sad nonsense.
If you've watched rational family members descend into madness you know what I'm talking about.
She coulda been atheist or Jewish or liberal or conservative. She was exposed to some things but if it wasn't trump it would be aliens or the Mayans or the Illuminati.

The last Queen of England was Queen Anne who, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of King/Queen of England.
####FAQ
Wasn't Queen Elizabeth II still also the Queen of England?
This was only as correct as calling her the Queen of London or Queen of Hull; she was the Queen of the place that these places are in, but the title doesn't exist.

For me, it's decades of being told that I'm going to hell by people who don't understand basic science and who look the other way when their religious leaders rape children. I grew up in a Baptist church full of people who claimed to follow the teachings of Christ while being small-minded and mean to people who look different than them.
I didn't have that same experience in any other group I participated in later in life. There are dumb, spiteful people everywhere but Christian churches seem to aggregate them.
There is also the fact that they believe in what's obviously a fairytale. Being a devout Christian says a lot about the state of your mind and whether or not you live in reality.

>grew up in a Baptist church full of people who claimed to follow the teachings of Christ while being small-minded and mean to people who look different than them.
I was around 4 or 5 years old when we started attending a Southern Baptist church in our area (down in MD). We went for a few months then left to attend a Methodist church. Years later I found out we didn't stay because the sermons started going on about how Jews are bad. My grandmother was Jewish
I remember being scared of the preacher because he shouted a lot during sermons, plus, he was already mic'd up so it was worse to my little ears
I've had pleasant experiences with Christians but when you grow up knowing for a fact that your neighbors are hiding their hate behind a smile that will disappear the second they find out you're different it leaves a bit of a lasting impression, you might say.

When I see a large number of of yard signs about politics of any sort I assume there's a whole lot of crazy happening in that house. We have more than one near us. Always with the GIANT OVERSIZED CUSTOM SIGNS

Yeah I'm in Dillsburg on Old York Rd (the 74 bypass if you go straight through Rossville from your house) and for some reason when I read York County I expected this to be in one of the weird brethren areas like 7 Valleys or Delta

To quote Red in Shawshank Redemption “I’d like to think that the last thing that went through (their) head(s) other than (those) bullet(s)…” is how the hell did Trump’s loss get the best of them.

The number of "I don't have any sympathy for these people" type of comments in this thread is honestly pretty disturbing.

It’s unfortunate but after reading the article I have no sympathy for these religious fundamentalists.

How awful. The tragic death. The horrendous comments left on Reddit.

I sent a message to the mods addressing this issue. it’s disheartening to see certain comments on this post be made about a struggling family in our community.

Conservatives: rah rah freedom of speech I can say what I want
People: this is a sad loss of life but probably due to their crazy fucking beliefs
Conservatives: WTF? MODS? COMPLIANCE OFFICER?
Everyone above me in this comment chain truly needs to touch grass. This story is beyond believable and makes perfect sense if you are from YoCo. You can feel bad and still point out the pervasively negative effects of Qanon and Qanon-lite thinking.

it's interesting seeing all the "love lives here" yard sign types expressing their joy over this family's death.

This is sad. Mainly because despite Trump losing second term, he has made major and lasting changes in favor of his constituents. I don't agree with them, but f why end things this way. Young girl had a whole life to live.

That’s why he lost re-election; he only ever did ‘things’ for his voters. Presidents are meant to provide and care for the country. That’s why he’s a failure.
vasquca1 t1_j76uxt4 wrote
I concur. But the fact he got elected in the first place says a lot about this country. It took opposition coming out in record numbers to vote him out.

You’re not wrong. I’ve ‘lost’ friends and family members to the cult. It’s maddening
