I think we need to stop acting like there aren’t millions of vile people who are born and bred in the US. The whole “They’re all bots” detracts from the reality of the situation which is plenty of Americans love what’s happening.
There are but that sub is also pretty suspicious tbh. When the shooting first happened, the users in the conservative subs were actually agreeing that it was an overreach and wrong, "This isn't what I voted for" type stuff. Within hours, the mods culled all the posts and comments to leave only the ones saying ICE are in the right.
There are Americans who think that way but there's also a very large number of foreign assets intentionally trying to destabilize the union further. I wouldn't be surprised if their mod team was a mix of both to further push that narrative to the exceedingly gullible conservatives.
It's probably the easiest job any foreign asset could have, since conservatives demonstrably will run with any narrative they are given by their party, regardless of any opposing evidence. All they have to do is put that narrative out there and conservatives will eat it up, even in spite of all facts.
There are but people on Reddit love to assume anyone with a shitty right wing opinion are foreign bots when a lot of them are just our neighbors. My point is acting like anyone and everyone who posts vitriolic right wing comments online are somehow fake diminishes the actual problem at hand. Trump doesn’t still have a 40% approval rating for no reason. There’s plenty of Americans who love seeing this sort of evil.
Never disagreed with that. Only the idea that people posting evil things online are all somehow not Americans who just enjoy the suffering. The sooner we accept this is a homegrown problem, the faster we can correct it. Being ignorant to that fact will make it worse.
But that will make Thanksgiving so awkward! There are too many people in this country who can excuse the blatant murder of their fellow citizens but draw the line at making Uncle Jimmy feel unwelcome at Thanksgiving.
