#Democrats underestimated the right wing #misinformationmachine, assuming that #commonsense and #reality would be enough for people to realize how absolutely ridiculous this is.

I understand. You seem sick of the fighting; knowing that you attract more flies with honey than vinegar. Unfortunately, flies breed in shit and the people here just want to make sure the #MisinformationMachine doesn't make it to these shores.

I applaud you for spreading acceptance.

All of this goes to show the depth of the #rightwing #misinformationmachine. Not only do they take something said years ago, they convince everyone that’s the left’s campaign, and when they win, say this clearly wasn’t what people wanted. #Democrats are in serious trouble if they can’t counteract.

Joe Rogan refuses to learn anything outside of conspiracies. He’s a lazy “intellectual” who thrives on misinformation and half-baked takes, keeping his audience stunted. An amplifier of bullshit from the bullshitters. #MisinformationMachine

Deregulate the truth for forty years — then act shocked when lies run the country.
