It is only an issue because people reply. If people stopped replying, the issue would immediately be fixed. We can keep discussing these topics. It's just that people can't resist replying to gh because gh always tries to throw in bits of condescension to make sure people reply. Stop worrying what he thinks of you and just ignore him.

We can talk about it and I'd actually enjoy it. Just own the lie, lets establish some commonly understood context, and then effective ways to address it make sense. But you can't fix something as complex as hostile nations influencing our democracy if we only hyper focus on what they did and not the conditions that made us vulnerable. One of the main ones being:

The bipartisan ability to absorb, repeat, cite propaganda.

Then get confronted with facts that prove it to be false

Then attack the person/entity providing the facts

Then refuse to own their mistake

Then (some of the decent ones) admit to some tangential error without accepting the far more devastating premise

Then play victim to those that point it out the next time they try it.

You just happened to provide an example I would put in a text book if I was teaching this stuff so I'm kinda attached to it.

Just to be clear this started with hunts carrying some shit from PM's into the thread then a dogpile on me and me pointing out that you shouldn't hop on until you can come to grips with what really happened with the propaganda you spread and stop playing victim. Or change the subject like usual.

New York is open for buisness with Delta in the great NRA war.

that's cute, but it would be a titanic effort to move delta from atlanta to ny. delta is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) employer in atlanta, and they literally take up half of hartsfield jackson, which is the biggest airport in the country and has just undergone a several billion dollar renovation and expansion. all of new york's airports are pretty much shitholes in comparison (there's no space to build better ones).

at the end of the day, this is just a stupid, ugly fight where no one wins. in the greater scheme of things, a $50m tax break on fuel is pretty negligible to delta, but they sure as hell aren't going to give the NRA their discounts back either. this also hurts georgia's reputation as the most business friendly state in the country and is a little reminder than it's still the south.

If only.

Come on man, you can do better then this. Add some freaking context. Its right there on his Twitter.

Hes been having a tweet spree about how he is totally innocent again. You could have picked any of the other 3 tweets in the past hour but you have to go for this one?

He's just copy pasting Fox News lines, verbatim. So I guess something is about to drop from the WaPo or NyTimes today.

So long as liberals (a few in particular) refuse to see the influence of US propaganda on their perceptions of Russian influence it's going to be a problem. Particularly if they try to take a shot at me in the process.
