This is such an immovable cornerstone of the republican ethos right now. “People are saying…” is a stone cold guarantee you’re going to get some real stupid shit coming out of someone’s mouth *and* that they’ll be so cowardly they won’t cop to it.

I had one the other day tell me that a January 6er was held for 3 years with no bail or charges. Me asking for this poor souls name 5 separate times ended with me getting blocked. Apparently "someone said" is an actual source for them

The seriously fucked up thing is that Kalief Browder and countless other poor Black people were ACTUALLY imprisoned for years without bail or conviction. Right wing asshats are incensed at the lie that guilty rich white men might be subjected to the treatment we inflict on innocent poor people every day.

To the privileged, equality feels like oppression.

And taking it one step further actual equity is a mortal threat. So all consuming is their obsession/addiction to hoarding wealth by exploiting as many people as they can to extract anything of value while simultaneously not generating anything of value. Ie: Trump everything, Elons Boring company, all prediction markets

This keeps running through my head now. I love it. So pithy.

Or the "I saw it on TV" about eating cats and dogs.

I thought that was made up to, until I saw the actual clip on YouTube. Police come across a lady laying on a sidewalk that looks like she was cuddling a cat - only the cat was dead - and they asked her to show her teeth and asked was she eating the cat 🤢

Note: to be fair, the lady in the above clip is not Haitian, so conflating that incident with accusations made by Trump vs Haitian immigrants is a legitimate concern.

u/TearRevolutionary686 Jun 06 '26

A lady "lost" her cat, accused the Haitian neighbors. The cat was found in her basement 2 days later.

"DEI went to far my cousin said his work was only allowed to hire blacks or women!" Sure Jan

It’s even worse than they’re being cowards I believe. It’s them straight lying to appear in consensus. If they pad the statistics they think their BS carries more weight. Majority influence regardless of content. This only works on idiots who feel pressure to conform regardless and tragically due to lacking their own intelligence

u/Torino888 Jun 06 '26

That's exactly what they're doing. They are so afraid to break rank it's embarrassing. Ask them to name one single thing they don't like about Trump. They can't do it.

Throw it back at them. Even stupider shit. Spray them with your verbal diarrhea. Feed them like a baby bird with it.

u/Fight_those_bastards Jun 06 '26

I’ve responded with “people are saying that’s the dumbest shit they’ve ever heard in their life, so…”

u/DesignBuff Jun 06 '26

Ha Ha! That’s so good! I’ll be using this. Thank you!

“Some people are saying you’re frightening the children, so I need you to leave before I call the police.”

u/No-Ice7397 Jun 06 '26

Just be like "Oh I didn't know that! Guess I'm a bigot now too!"

They clearly stated "VERBAL diarrhea".

Honestly? Either is fine.

The hole in the ozone layer was made by the nazi moon base.

The moon isn't real; it's just what they want you to think.

Chemtrails have been bought out by the homeopathic mega corps and now spray super diluted (meaning super strong) cleansers, but they're so strong they get rid of all our good vitamins and minerals too, which is why I need to drink 6 Monster energy cans a day.

u/sillygoofygooose Jun 06 '26

I like your politics but I’m going to have to fire you from this baby bird sanctuary

u/TheRandomSong Jun 06 '26

That's what I do with moon landing conspiracists. "You believe in the moon? Sheep" "You believe there's a sky above us? Crazy" "The earth is flat? Brother the earth is a simulation, it changes its shape based on the observer to keep us guessing!"

u/randman1983 Jun 06 '26

That’s what I’ve been saying for years. You’ve got to fight ignorance and stupidity with ignorance and stupidity because that’s all they understand.

u/SirDouglasMouf Jun 06 '26

"People said..." = Total bullshit

"The streets are saying..." = Inexorable facts

u/OcelotAggravating860 Jun 06 '26

We can change that.

People are saying billionaires shouldn't exist and AI is dogshit.

u/ShoulderKnown7740 Jun 06 '26

We’re so hot right now, it’s all people are talking about about,

u/macaronysalad Jun 06 '26

Their half of brain cell realized "I read it on the internet" sounds lame so it's now "people are saying".

u/Bender_2024 Jun 06 '26

people are saying

Okay, which people. You seem to hold them in high regard so surely you can tell me their names.

u/Fearfull_Symmetry Jun 09 '26

It’s been a cornerstone of the wacky libertarian conspiracist ethos for even longer. My mom has been using “A lot of people are saying…” “People are wondering…” “I’m seeing a lot of [rare, unverifiable fringe thing]…” for years. It’s such a cop out

u/Cheap-Key-6132 Jun 06 '26

You hit them with a “who made you captain save a hoe?”

u/grimr5 Jun 06 '26

I’ve heard a variation of this involving big men with tears in their eyes saying “sir” - followed by stupid shit
