A conversation I overheard this morning at the bakery from two ladies sitting in the dining area fauci knew fauci needs to go to prison.
You would think any normal person in thought would be pissed off at trump for fucking up pandemic saying its hoax.
You would think that they would be mad over tfg saying lets stick a UV lite up inside of you or how about bleach.
So disgusting that we live amongst people that are easily persuaded that are unable to think clearly for their selves.
I stayed quiet didnt get involved in the conversation were never going to get out of the pandumbic of misinformation and brainwashing.

I avoid them like the plague that they literally are!

(21,304 posts)it's been going on for the past 3 months. The MSM is pushing the right wing narrative that president Biden is failing and Dr. Fauci has taken Hillary's place for the lock him up nonsense.
MSM already not talking about "seditious insurrection" or about the forged electoral college ballots.
MSNBC (COMCAST) 2 major shareholders, Vanguard and BlackRock.

The crier merely exclaims, "Excuse me, I must leave for the castle..."

I bet if you asked Trump humpers, "How would you feel about Trump being president for life, and then passing the presidency down to one of his children? No more elections?" they would whole-heartedly support the idea with a hearty, "Hell, yeah!!!"

(239 posts)There was a lot of chat on 4chan about Trump being made a monarch! I kid you not. He would be our leader for life and then he would pass his reign down to his idiotic children. First Don Jr, then Ivanka and on down the line to Barron. The fascists there all thought that was a splendid idea. "Democracy has failed us" they said. These are the type of people we are dealing with! They don't care about democracy. All they want is a right-wing strong man to tell them what to do.

(13,574 posts)did since then really made any difference. The one thing the RW harps on is he supposedly lied about masks early on. That's funny, since they rebelled about the masks early on too. If he said we didn't need masks to avoid a run that would cut medical staff short, I'll give him a pass on that one. I would guess he would have preferred to recommend masks right off the bat if he could have.

(239 posts)We are dealing with people who are as dumb as rocks. It kills me to hear right-wingers complain that Biden hasn't done anything to stop covid but yet these same idiots refuse to wear a mask, get vaccinated or social distance! It drives me crazy! And to blame Fauci for all this is ludicrous. I'm worried that one of those lunatics are going to gun him down because of all the hate that the right wing media spreads about him.

(768 posts)It's not that the MAGA cult members are stupid (of course some certainly are). It's easy to relegate them to being ignorant, but when we do that we underestimate the power of our enemy.
The reality is that today we are witnessing the power of populist propaganda being amplified through the megaphone of the Internet, thousands of times more effective than any disinformation machine in history.
What we should be focused on is not how stupid they are, but rather how people with average intelligence can be manipulated like puppets on a string by disinformation and lies. It started by a general degradation of critical thinking skills across the board, which began long before Trump. These people were ripe for the picking, all it took were con artists like Limbaugh and Trump and Hannity and all the others to take advantage.
But how do you counter the propaganda? Fox News and it's allies spew BS 24/7. Their listeners take everything they say as gospel truth. So when I try to talk to Trump supporters about how there is no evidence that the election was rigged, that climate change is real and that vaccines work they just laugh at me and tell call me a sheep. They know the REAL story! They have no critical thinking skills nor do they have any common sense. They believe the most outlandish things. It just makes me roll my eyes. I honestly have no idea what to say or do to try to convince these imbeciles of the errors in their thinking!

(633 posts)Why aren't they mad at TFG for cutting funding to the CDC way back when?! Why aren't they mad that TFG pulled out the people that Obama placed in China for this very reason?? Why aren't they mad at TFG when he said he had it under control and he said 15 cases would go down to 1 but instead, numbers exploded?? It's because Fox News doesn't bring it up. If a story does become so big, like TFG telling people to ingest bleach, then their viewers probably do get wind of it from somewhere but it's probably not even brought up on FN or if it is brought up, it is not covered 24/7 ad nauseum so the viewers don't care! If it had been Obama or Biden that had said and done these things, Fox News would never stop talking about it!

Make them explain themselves but be very nice and seem sincere.
