Can we stop pretending shit like this is just some 'lol random' whim?
Repugnicunt politicians are heavily invested in oil, that is the ONLY reason.
I'm sure a lot of disinformation is spread by conservatives invested in oil, but the ones I see posting the Facebook memes don't have two cents to rub together.
A..are you saying you are ignorant of corporate driven social media manipulation?
Do you not understand that poor repugnicunts are their mouthpieces, or that they get their talking points drip fed to them by a massive propaganda machine that has been built up since Nixon was canned?
I really hope you are only pretending to be this ignorant, because otherwise if the average person thinks like you (and they do) there is literally no winning this war.
Your entire assault on this persons posts was based on the use of the phrase βfor some reason.β Clearly OP knows a)why most conservatives spout insanity and b)the mechanisms of propaganda. Maybe actually contribute to discussions rather than being a reactionary asshole.
