Yet this morning on Great Awakening all I see are jokes and Babylon Bee and making fun while America burns.... Feeling like I'm the only researcher left around here.
The shills are getting smarter and shifting their tactics. I have talked about this before. Since the can't just spam the place without getting banned, they post BS that will pass muster. Jokes, Babylon Bee, memes, anecdotes that may or may not have actually happened, TRUST THE PLAN/WWG1WGA, Jesus/Bible/Christianity stuff, and so on. Things they can flood the board with to bury important subjects and relevant topics.
All boards get taken over and compromised eventually.
sigh This is one of my biggest gripes with the right-wing.
People love to attack socialized education , or medicine or whatever. Im not here to pick a side in that battle, because it makes little difference to me, but it seems nobody EVER steps back and asks: OK, why is socialized medicine and education so popular with the public to begin with? And more importantly, what were the Republicans offering as an alternative to the problem that allowed the idea of socialized medicine and education to become so popular to begin with?
No one ever wants to answer that question.
Here is another question: What is the underlying reason Trump won 2016? The answer, at the end of the day, is the same reason Obama won 2008.
Something to think about.
Great post.
I would like to add that I have noticed this about Trump as well. You cannot have a nuanced view on Trump. Much like Q, where have to be a full denier or a true believer, you either have to have Trump Derangment Syndrome or Trump Obsession Syndrome, but you cannot deviate from either path.
