Answer back to Fox News
For about a month now, I have been writing comments about the various news stories on the Fox News website. Sometimes I will have up to 8 different fox news stories open on my screen and reply to each with different counterpoints, often a number of them on the same story over the course of an hour or two. It’s actually rather fun and satisfying….being able to get your say in with these people.

This way, I can post dozens of attention getting posts that the fox followers will read, often with ‘interesting’ feedback from them, as you can well imagine. Surprisingly, there are a substantial number of us Democratic types that post on there, or that rate the comments. (I’ve had up to 12 likes for a post). In actuality though, the foxers outnumber the ‘normals’ by 8 to 1? Or more? Our correct side needs more troops over there to help educate them about the truth.

Over time, I’ve had to delete my account and change usernames when Fox catches on, or someone complains. I think this has happened when I post too much too quickly, perhaps and also when I get down on Fox directly, so be a little circumspect. At a certain point, Fox will keep showing you your posts, but no one else will see them. You will know this when no one reacts to them, or you can do as I do, and go to your incognito page and see if your posts show up or not on fox there.. It’s a pretty easy get around though, just delete your account, keep the same url, and create a new account with a new user name.

Please try and keep things civil. Witty if possible, and try to avoid insults. We’re here to convince Fox people who are often woefully ignorant of the truth. Educate them.

I don’t believe you’re supposed to cut and paste, but I do successfullyIt’s actually kind of fun, (addicting?) to post, and I think it may actually do a lot of good, as a lot of fox readers aren’t necessarily commited Trump cultists and may be on the fence.

Below is an example of what I post.
See you over there!

Trump’s deep thoughts:
1- “why don’t we just drop a nuke in the eye of a hurricane to stop it?”
2- the Revolutionary Army took over the airport’s in the 1700’s
3- “the new clean coal mine is going to take out the coal and actually clean it so it’ll be clean coal.”
4- “the F-35’s are invisible. They can’t fight against them. The enemy can be right next to one and they can’t fight because they’re stealth....it’s literally invisible.”
5- “Puerto Rico is surrounded by water, big water, ocean water.”
6- “water is wet....from the standpoint of water.”
7- “they say the noise from those big windmills causes cancer.”
8- “disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. Is there a way we can do that....by injection, almost a cleaning. It sounds interesting to me.”
9- “Isn’t Finland a part of Russia?”
10- “the map came to me with that sharpie drawing on it.”
11. “Andrew Jackson should have stopped the Civil War. (He died 16 years prior)
12. Trump said he had never heard of a Category 5 Hurricane even though he had already experienced three in his presidency.
13. “When I was hearing the amount of people that died with the flu, I was shocked to hear it… I would have said, ‘Does anybody die of the flu?’ I didn’t know people died from the flu.”
Fact check: Trump’s grandfather died of the flu.
14. "We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
Trumps mean girl name calling is surely getting old.

Agreed. It needs to be a simple flat rate Buckeyeblue Aug 2020 #26
W was seen as being pro Muslim and pro immigration so he lost support among JI7 Aug 2020 #30
And the economy tanked and he did basically nothing Buckeyeblue Aug 2020 #32
Yes, the economy was the biggest thing back then JI7 Aug 2020 #33
Correct. It's the I got mine mentality. Buckeyeblue Aug 2020 #34
This is why I think things like sports being canceled could hurt Trump more than deaths JI7 Aug 2020 #36
