Doonesbury - How Could ANY People Believe Such A Massive Lie?

1. I've actually argued with people who believe that crap on Quora

Or maybe they’re just trolls looking for attention. They always get slammed for it.

[JHB]

4. Quora is a Q&A site. No relation to "Q" nuttery except for those who post such there.

Like any other social media site, what you get there varies. But it has moderation tools, and the ability for users to turn off replies or delete disruptive replies to their own threads.

13. man. that would be a nice power to have here.

[Cheezoholic]

24. To be able to censure responses to your opinions that agree/disagree with you at your discretion?

Kinda defeats the purpose, or there's some arrogant fragility aloft or I completely missed something, which happens lol

[mopinko]

25. agree/disagree? no no no

to remove asshole comments that the jurors miss, disinformation, etc.
every time a comment like that stands, a troll gets PAID.

5. Trump "emboldened" the Nazis

Trump "emboldened" the Nazis

America fought a war against the Nazis and supposedly won.

Yet here they are marching to "take back America".

When did the Nazis have America?

" Michael Von Kotch, a Pennsylvania resident who called himself a Nazi, said the rally made him "proud to be white."

He said that he's long held white supremacist views and that Trump's election has "emboldened" him and the members of his own Nazi group. "

20. Yes, this. 45* made it ok to bring racism back out into the open.

At least before 45*, racists were beginning to be driven underground so that their rancid beliefs weren't quite as able to infect others. After 45* that bullshit is in full daylight and far more likely to capture the heart and soul of weak minded people who might not have fallen into that trap before.

[calimary]

26. Makes me feel so discouraged about this country.

How many WILLINGLY swallowed whatever 45* shat out his behind. We REALLY live in a country where that happens?

NOT happy tonight.

6. That is so spot-on, it could have been a Mike Lukovich cartoon.

You tell people something enough and they can’t help but keep it as some level of truth no matter everything else they see.

My standard thought when I hear this nonsense (and I listen to talk radio) is “As a grown ass adult, have you considered- has it crossed your mind - that you are being lied to?”

[Aviation Pro]

12. The want to be lied to

Lies are so much easier than hard truth.

19. The problem with propaganda is . . .

you can see it so clearly in another country, but if you live within a maelstrom of propaganda, on a daily basis, in your own country, it becomes a lot harder.

The most effective propaganda is information that manipulates you into thinking a certain way, without you being aware of it.

That uneasy, queasy feeling you have most of your waking hours?
Never mind it too much, it's just your brain trying to digest and make sense of all the manipulative BS you are fed every waking minute.
