    We’re done talking about the debate because we’re all talking about the assassination attempt

        Lol, suddenly you guys know that term, huh? Funny how you didn’t know how it worked when Trump and his gaggle of media synchophants stoked the fires of hate for a decade.

              It’s amusing how bad some people are at lying. Like, they have no ability to gauge what’s believable and what’s just an utterly ridiculous claim.

              Like a little kid with ice cream all over their face insisting that their invisible friend ate it all back in the ‘80s

                Can fall apart on two different fronts. One, they could simply be young enough to lack relevant life experience. More often I think, they could be from a different culture and simply be unaware of what is normal for an American.

                A third, related possibility, is they could be using the Russian propaganda style of the bullshit firehose, where they’re just trying to throw so much bullshit into the information environment that it starts to seem like nothing really matters and people should just stop trusting everything and disengage to focus on their own lives instead of bigger events.
