What compounds the problem is that if this behaviour is criticised the very people who constantly lie, spread rumours and regurgitate crazy conspiracy theories will throw their first amendment rights straight back at you. They're too stupid to understand that the right to free speech doesn't confer the right to lie.What's most depressing about politics in the USA is the complete disregard for facts and science on the Right.
Currently the Right embraces and/or is composed of lunatics - disregarding facts in favor of palatable mistruths.
I think that may of the deranged would actually be reasonable if presented with facts, absent a lying echo chamber of disinformation.
Misinformation if left unchecked is going to drive countries such as mine into authoritarianism.
I've stated this sentiment above...
The biggest threat to a free Democracy is the "free and fair" spread of lies and disinformation.
If we are to preserve Democracy, regulations need to be put in place to curb the spread of lies and anti-factual opinions.
One might reasonably object to such regulations on many bases - whereas such bases are mostly theoretical. Meanwhile we have the deluded Right seeking to curb non-extant "voter fraud." - for example.
Might such regulations ever pass in the USA - not in the near future for certain.
At the same time, most media outlets are responsive curbing disinformation... but absent laws this isn't enough Those seeking false reinforcement of mistruths need only turn to Fox... and it seems to a near-future Muck-controlled Twitter where anything goes.

Report and block on Twitter.Oh so now the tweet/ad violates rules about abusive behavio(u)r but it’s in the public’s interest to see it. Meta took it down. Perfect for this **** — gets to claim he’s been censored by Big Tech but still gets to dog whistle his cunts-in-attendance.
Once you figure out how economics work, lickspittle. Any discussion of those topics would be lost on you. We’ll talk again after you tell us whether it was stupidity, naïveté or cowardice which made you vote for Jorgensen.When are we going to discuss inflation and gas prices? Or are those just more "anti-factual opinions" unfit for the political thread?
Asking for a friend :)
High gas prices and inflation all over Europe and Asia. Fuck Joe Biden…. /sarcasmOnce you figure out how economics work, lickspittle. Any discussion of those topics would be lost on you.

Also stop lying about having friends.
Yes, but why don't YOU intelligent folks go ahead and have it nonetheless. I'd happily sit back and read confusedly. :)Once you figure out how economics work, lickspittle. Any discussion of those topics would be lost on you.
You wanna know why I didn't vote for Biden? Check his approval rating.We’ll talk again after you tell us whether it was stupidity, naïveté or cowardice which made you vote for Jorgensen.

I know you haven't noticed, but MSNBC and CNN are making the same point now too...High gas prices and inflation all over Europe and Asia. Fuck Joe Biden…. /sarcasm
As if that fucking idiot just tried making that point. He’s literally just a repeater of Fox talking points at this stage.
