Whoever is spreading this shit needs to be silenced and brought to justice.
The fact it happens so much is evidence the FuckingAround is not having a permanent FindingOut cooling-off period afterwards. That needs to be fixed, pronto!

I'm sure it's being amplified by Russian disinfo and the like - but there are almost certainly domestic sources (including Marjorie Taylor Green) and yea, we need to find some reasonable way to counteract them.

I agree.
Unfortunately, he's still running for president.
Well I'm sure Merrick "Nap Time" Garland is going to get right on it.
It’s a really shitty thing to do, and I can’t believe people are actually falling for it, but it’s a really effective solution seen with GOP eyes. The government don’t get to help people, people get outraged with the government, people get outraged with the democrats (ruling party), GOP has a clearer path towards cutting government functions they don’t want, people get worse off.
It's just very impressive that people fall for this dogshit
Seriously. How dumb do you have to be to not see through this?
The same amount of dumb you have to be to be “god fearing” and think that a treasonous, lying, cheating, adulterous, rapist of an orange baboon is some sort of messiah
This is like attacking CDC over covid, but even more thoughtless, as you can literally see the hurricane damage with your own eyes.
(I’d like to ignore and not discuss the possibility of people seriously thinking these disasters were artificially created.)
It’s probably stemming from very deliberate misinformation, conflicting information, divide and conquer, gaslighting, manipulation, and so forth.
Yeah, if the Biden admin helps people like its supposed to, Harris is more likely to won the election.
So Republicans are using terrorism to stop desperate people from getting help.
This really just amounts to remnants of The South (and those allied to the cause for whatever reason) attempting to destroy the federal government.
There’s probably something to this. But I’d think it’s time to move on. Is this some sort of dogmatic belief system that is thoroughly and blindly beaten into every successive generation?
It is a proxy/identifier for other social, political and economic divides
I don't think this is going to outrage anyone new. People who already thought the Democrats were destroying the country are probably still thinking that, and now they just don't get any support, and their neighbors who were hoping for support are pissed off that their neighbors are assholes, because they can read what's happening in the newspaper and they can use their eyes and ears and brains.
Oh for fuck's sake.
Never mind adults that didn't ask for this conspiracy shit, children are going to die.
They’ll mobilize the national guard for college campus protests but we have armed militias preventing domestic government aid and not a single boot on the ground or dissident hauled away. Pathetic.
Not saying it’s a good reason for pulling back or not deploying troops but, that would certainly “confirm” these idiots fears of “tha gubmint” coming for their guns.
An Obama-shaped shadow looming in their garden would do the same. Training these people that these actions have no consequences is far more dangerous than listening to them whine about the government, which they were going to do anyway.
I take your point.
What the fuck.
