It's not so much a question of who goes to the Internet's trenches and fight for the 'cause'. Rather, it is more about how the narrative, the talking points, the tone and all the rest trickle down. There are several tools and websites tracking the spread of rumors, trends, talking points, spins and conspiracy theories - and while covering tracks gets better, still a fair portion can be observed as being actively pushed. Mercenary or devotee is just a question of the medium through which the message is propagated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware facts are abhorrent for some of Trump's supporters, but there's no need to blatantly over do it. Also, it would be appreciated if there was a minimal effort to support conspiracy theories offered by more than a group hug and pat on the back. While at it, keeping some measure of consistency would not go amiss. For example, in the nonsense bit above, the same Biden painted as "not up to debate nevermind run the country" and is also claimed to be "clearly" managing a vast misinformation/propaganda effort by himself. Pick one twisted version of Biden and stick with it, please. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berrec Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Really, from Christopher Wray! A deep state operative that held back significant internal FBI information from investigators and the Senate on the fake Russian sting. C'mon man.

Just ask Big pharma, bankers and weapon manufacturers. Many people don't like him, but at the same time many don't like Biden. Give him four more years to prove himself. The Dems are unelectable IMO. History will judge him kindly; compared to other POTUSs that is. History is going to judge him as a failing narcist mob boss that was ill equipped, when a 100 year pandemic came long, to lead the country. He is NOT doing OK when 200K people have died in 6 months...which covers more than 25% of the word fatalities with only 4% of the words population. He is holding massive indoor rallies where his worshippers scream out in the open without a mask because he is a selfish self absorbed idiot that only cares about himself and not about the people he supposedly leads. Who knows what damage he will do with 4 more years of lying, corrupt self absorbed bs to inflict on the world. And all of this in the shadow of the fact he has already declared, 2 months before the election, that if he loses the election is rigged. He lies, he cheats, he steals....there is absolutely nothing about him that has any type of class, style or dignity. He is, in the eyes of the world, ***THE*** Ugly American and the worst type of representative of the United States. History will judge him as the worst president and basically unfit for the office. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has surrounded himself with people who are not considering the US as a whole, and putting their own interests first. Nothing new it that regarding POTUSs though. But, he hasn't started any new wars yet; unlike others. He has however caused suffering around the world. As for C-19. He seems to have fallen for it hook, line and sinker. The real winner in this will be Fauci, unless someone can get onto main stream media and denounce this crook. He will IMO get re-elected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
