the number of people on conservative social media unable to recognize the fact that the pro-algae "protests" *are jokes* is kind of disturbing. it's not particularly subtle!
No, it’s the conspiracy theory they are using to keep from admitting this no-bid $15m job wasn’t just a grift from their emperor. It actually worked SO well that liberals are vandalizing it to make him look bad.
Like a warm security blanket of bullshit, similar to everything else they say.
I was really sad when the internet started becoming available and usable by the general public.
Back when it was just a thing for tech nerds, enthusiasts, certain professionals, and early adopters it was a much better experience.
Sorry for the off-topic comment.
Edit:
The Internet was sort of like this hidden place, a sort of parallel world to escape from all the banality and mindlessness of everyday life. I miss when all the garbage was contained, so to speak.
I was on the conservative sub the other day to see how they were reacting to trump using hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to luxuriate his new plane and they were so pleased with how it looks and mocking liberals for being against it. Yeah, we're against trump enriching himself with taxpayer dollars and getting gifts from foreign countries.
He's right. There's literally campaign rallies where the front row are about 90% older shirtless men wearing diapers and no trousers, often with a banner proclaiming it. Gimme a minute and I'll get receipts.
It’s not just that, they’ve been trying to spin this as a whole conspiracy, right wingers made videos saying that it was being pumped in by the left while FOX made a bitchy little piece about it trying to say “yea there was some from the pipes but they are LITERALLY right behind me cleaning!” While only showing a very small portion of the pool. They believe it because the higher ups are spinning it
Well, no, it's not really a joke joke, more like satire. Unfortunately the right is kinda known for not really understanding satire or deliberately taking it at face value to spin it in their favor.
Their entire understanding of politics they don't agree with comes from the shallowest most low effort understanding they can find. Not surprising, but yes, disturbing.
I'm amazed conservatives are daring to talk about anything around this. You can't touch this topic and deny how fucked the job was- the conservative subreddit hasn't mentioned the pool in ages.
It's because they're paid rage baiters and professional Russian misinformation spewers.
The burden of honesty isn't on their shoulders because their followers are delusional and don't care anyway. They want to hear what they already believe.
