There’s no point in debating a pathological liar, especially when a large portion of voters are easily duped and fact checking in real time is sub par and depending on the network, completely nonexistent.

It just acts as a free misinformation/propaganda mass dissemination tool

All day on Twitter the Trumpers have been foaming at the mouth trying to prove "illegals" are eating pets now in the US. Dumbasses.

Was just about to comment this too. They just believe it without a single bit of doubt. They're a lost cause. There is no way you can deradicalize these fuckers.

Well, according to Trump, Harris is a Marxist. Are political reeducation camps out of the question? We'll go full Maoist. Anyone caught posting such drivel has to spend a year working on a state-run farm while they receive political reeducation. 🤣
