This is what we are up against in 2022, here is an example straight from the deranged minds of the loony right.
Last Wednesday a caller phones in to the local right-wing morning talk show on Cape Cod. The host is a lip-flapping head case that promotes every wacko theory that the right can come up with, including the anti-vaxers and anti-maskers.
The caller claims that the reason the sixty or so courts that refused to hear arguments that the 2020 election was stolen did so because they knew the evidence of cheating and voter fraud was SO OVERWHELMING that they would have no choice but to overturn the election results and hand the election to Trump, and by doing so the left would immediately take to the streets and burn America to the ground. Of course the courts wouldn't want to be blamed for setting off such actions, and that's why all of them declined to hear the cases.
Then the host mumbled something about "you might have something there, Mike" without having the balls to dismiss it as pure unadulterated garbage.
America is in big trouble as long as these people exist and have sympathizers with microphones, folks.
Big trouble.
See you later DUers, hopefully at a time when the country reclaims it's sanity.

(Ah, if it were only so simple, so easy -- if wishes were horses, leftists would ride.)

I recommend if any DUers are able to join me. Call in. Argue for truth. Always for truth.
We have truth on our side. We can change minds with truth.
There are more of us than them, but we can never let the fringe right control the narrative.

(6,915 posts)When networks air unadulterated bullshit they are amplifying the message of ignorance. They arent innocent bystanders, they are profiting from the amplification of one single loonys voice.
They cant continue to hide under the first amendment to inject elements that destroy the whole system.

(145,168 posts)This makes no sense and is now how courts worked. Many of the courts reached opinions on the merits of these cases and there was simply no admissible evidence to support these claims

He calls Alex Jones and Roger Stone friends of the program. Pillow guy is an advertiser.

(1,396 posts)They're committing political, economic and Covid suicide. Their party of insurrectionist traitors is just beginning to be jailed too.
As for sanity, the U.S. won't get anywhere near that until universal/single payer happens, too many people need mental health help.
