In 2015, two articles by a blogger named Rachel Brewson on the women's online magazine xoJane went viral. They were about her personal experience as a liberal dating and falling in love with a Republican before their disagreements about Trump tore them apart. She got lots of attention and even appeared on ABC News with her ex-boyfriend to talk about their story.

The only problem was that she didn't actually exist.

1. This should be an alarm bell for all of us

Just as this story was blown up for headlines and ratings, they do the same or worse when it comes to the orange mass and the qgop.

Not saying the qgop isn’t up to no good, just saying they maximize it to scare ppl ...tune in tune in for more!

3. Yes, lately there's been a lot of talk (even here)

about some massive violence breaking out. The fact is, 99% of these MAGA assholes are total cowards. If the Capitol police would have shot the first few of them coming through the doors the rest of them would have peed all over themselves ans screamed like nine year old girls as they ran away.

4. "I didn't understand why people got so mad."

I'm not a psychologist, but I believe that someone who lies to make money is called a sociopath.
