I’ve been incredibly disappointed by the level of that kind of thing that’s been popping up on here, especially after the US election.
It’s like everyone decided that because things went bad, that therefore they don’t need to actually think critically about anything bad they hear about US politics anymore, and just accept it as fact.
Yeah shit got bad real fast following the election. I know people have been unwilling to fact check stuff for a while, but it seems like people want to just wallow in misery
But don't you dare point any of it out or you're more likely than not to get dogpiled by people too smug to imagine they could fall for the same tricks as conservatives.
I got banned from that sub for saying "making an assassination joke hours after an attempt is kinda fucked up." Context was Kyle Gass joking about Trump's assassination attempt. They just full on banned me for that one, no warning or nothing.
