...and they're all full of crap. Facebook, Twitter, reddit, et al, are all cesspools ripe for right-wing manipulation, and they are woefully ignorant at being combating it. Not that any of these sites, including one I can't mention, are particularly well moderated or tolerant of views they find inconvenient. They pretend to be for the advertising dollars, but they're all a sham and unhealthy for our country.

Watching him reminds me of those Kentucky Fried Chicken raised chickens wearing a sandwich board promoting fried chicken outside a KFC, political cartoons.

But if you confronted him about 'you know what happens to chickens inside, don't you?' he'd drivel off some insanity. But also, 'you do realize you're a chicken too, right?'
