This is biblical on its level of being not smart to fall for all of this over and over.
Let me see if I can address these. There’s lots of them I‘ve never even heard of, which suggests that they are issues that only exist in your bubble and are not positions that exist in mainstream circles.
The Russian collusion hoax.
- Real people received real charges and real convictions based on an investigation from a special prosecutor over this issue
Trump called neo-nazis"fine people".
- meh, “very fine people on both sides.” Only after prodding did he condemn Neo-Nazis.
Jussie Smollett debacle.
- I mean, once it came out this was fake no one defended him? He’s in jail now, isn’t he? I don’t see too many people out there saying he doesn’t deserve to be
Bubba Wallace garage pull.
- Idk what this is in reference to
The Covington kids.
- Idk what this is
Governor Witmer kidnapping plot.
- Haven’t heard of this
The Kavanaugh rape case.
- This is, at best, a he said/she said and at worst a largely uninvestigated claim of sexual assault. its dumb to call this a hoax
Trump pee tape.
- Steele himself says there’s only a 50% chance this is true
COVID lab leak was a conspiracy theory.
- The part that is being called a “conspiracy theory” is the idea that the Chinese purposefully created a virus in a lab and then intentionally released it. That is, by very definition, a conspiracy theory
Border agents whipped migrants.
- Haven’t heard this one
Trump saved nuclear secrets at Mar-a-Lago.
- There’s literally a federal indictment alleging that this happened and he is facing numerous charges on the matter
Steele Dossier.
- Some things have been corroborated, others not. I don’t know of anything that has been proven to be an outright falsehood, but I haven’t kept up much with this
Russian bounties on US soldiers in Afghanistan.
- This first came out from intelligence gathered while Trump was President, and this was literally reported to him and he was given options on a response and chose to do nothing. The National Security Council has said that they have “high confidence” that this did happen
Trump said drinking bleach would fight COVID.
- He suggested injecting people with disinfectant…is that really better?
Muslim travel ban.
- This happened.
Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation.
- This is one of the stupidest investigations in US history
Andrew Cuomo best COVID leadership.
- I mean, as more info came out, people’s opinions on the issue changed. It can’t be a hoax if its a belief based on current information that changes when the information changes.
Trump built cages for migrant kids.
- Ok, I’ll give you this one
Austere religious scholar.
- Don’t know what this is
Trump overfed Koi fish in Japan.
- Haven’t heard this
Build Back Better will pay for itself.
- Meh, depends who you talk to and what accounting tricks you use, etc. I’ll start hearing arguments on BBB being a problem when Republicans who voted against it stop posing for photo ops while handing out checks paid for by the bill
Trump tax cuts benefited only the rich.
- Trump tax cuts, long term, only benefit corporations. For those making less than $75k/yr their tax cut over the last 8 years has been 1-2% on average, while those making $1,000,000 has been about 5% on average - but those cuts are set to expire in 2025, resulting in a tax increase on everyone except for corporations.
Cloth masks prevent COVID.
- There is lots and lots of empirical evidence that masks greatly reduced the spread of Covid, literally no expert has ever said that masks “prevent” covid.
If you get vaccinated you won't catch COVID.
- No expert has said that getting vaccinated means you won’t catch covid, but there is tons of data that shows that the vaccine greatly reduces the severity of the virus, as about 98% of Covid related deaths have been in the unvaccinated.
SUV killed parade marchers.
- I’m not sure what incident this is referring to, but this has definitely happened. There was a big trial for it last year, dude got life in prison for murder
Trump used teargas to clear a crowd for a bible photo.
- You’re right, they only threatened to use tear gas but actually used pepper spray and smoke bombs
Don't Say Gay was in a bill.
- I‘m pretty sure everyone knows that this wasn’t an actual phrase from the actual bill, its a colloquialism. Just like there was never a bill called “obamacare.”
V. Putin price hike.
- Not sure what this is referring to
Ivermectin is a horse dewormer and not for humans.
- It literally is a drug to fight parasites in animals and is approved for some use in humans to do the same, it is not a treatment for covid
Mostly peaceful protests.
- Which ones are we talking about?
Trump overpowered secret service for wheel of "The Beast".
- lol this is the first I’ve heard of this, that would be hilarious if true
Officer Sicknick was murdered by protesters.
- neurologists have stated that stress very well could have played a role in his stroke, the medical examiner said that “all that transpired played a role in his condition.” In any event, this is a weird hill to die on given that it doesn’t really change the fact he was attacked by Jan 6 insurrectionists
January 6th was an insurrection.
- It was. People are in prison for it.
Trump mocked a reporter's disability.
- He did, there is video evidence of it
BYU students hurled racist insults at Duke volleyball player.
- haven’t heard this one
Rocket that hit Poland was launched by Russia.
- what rocket?
Nordstream pipeline blown up by Russia.
- Haven’t heard it
