Roger Stone contested our reporting regarding comments he made floating the assassination of Eric Swalwell and Jerry Nadler. Mediaite is now publishing the tape.
I’ve been thinking about that lately. Of course they’ll muddy the waters. Trumps ‘fake news’ bullshit already has, where he acts like major news organizations just wholesale make up stories. The result of deep fakes will be what we already have, but worse, where MAGA types believe anything negative about Democrats, no matter how ridiculous it seems under analysis, and refuse to believe anything negative about Republicans, saying it’s ‘fake’.
Which in turn allows them to now, more strongly forever deny whatever they want.
So on top of not being able to convince them with facts, you also won’t be able to convince them that the facts are facts… so then how do we pull these idiots away from the cliff’s edge?
If they’d just stay at their houses and shut the fuck up, I’d say let them live in whatever false reality they want. Problem is, they’re getting more violent and increasingly believing that they need to enforce their false realities on the rest of us.

Let em jump? I mean, if auntie Ethel wants to cure her COVID with bleach injections and a UV light up the arse, I don’t see what we can do to save her

Facts weren’t the answer for that group to begin with, so not much is changing for them.
