the whole problem is knowingly spreading false info to vulnerable people

For examples, Trump and Fox news. They are making the problem worse. I have no valid reason to dispute that based on what I have witnessed about right wing media and the various lawsuits they face for LYING repeatedly... But I do understand, as most should, estimates vary between 45% and 60% of all ILLEGALS in this country are from visa overstays, plus many illegal crossings from our NORTHERN border with Canada! A very a large portion of those are WHITES who speak English. Yet the right pays no lip service whatsoever to what may IN FACT be the largest part of the "illegals" problem!!!  Shocking! It's almost as if "illegals" in our country - taking up our jobs!!! - per se is irrelevant to the right unless they are of color and speak a different mother tongue.    Then, HOLY PH*CK!!!

 

White illegals taking our jobs? No problem! They speak English so let them stay!

But the spanish speaking Brown skinned people who labor in our farms to provide cheap produce on our shelves? Those @#$%&! bast**** are stealing all the jobs we wanna do so they must be hunted down like dogs (not the white farm owners though)

@Zeus4par

 Unfortunate but common analysis.  Empirically true...

Politifact readers poll reveals top lie of 2023 is from Trump.  He claims "they are trying to make it illegal to question results of bad election."  Actually, charges against Trump are related to republican efforts to overturn 2020 election.  Not questioning them. 

Those damn racists!

They must've had a long list of choices in that poll on trump LIES...

Watchdog Media matters reveals media that downplays or ignores Trump's worst rhetoric and hazardous policies is 2023 top misinformer of the year.  Con man has poisoned the minds of cult followers.  No matter the evidence to the contrary, they excuse his behavior.  For example, followers say "I don't like his personality but I like his policies" or "our nation was stronger when he was president."  Trump is perceived as the innocent victim who can do no wrong.  Once bragging that he could shoot someone on the street and not lose any vote.  Republican Kirzinger calls him a professional victim and whiner.

I should say I completely agree that Trump is the orange Mussolini x100

@thirdperson

Which makes it a cult in every sense of the word  

Republicans are trying to sell violent insurrection as a peaceful protest.  This is an attempt to steal history the same way Trump tried to steal 2020 election.  There is no both sides to Trump's threat to democracy.  Fact is he is the only president in US history to oppose a peaceful transfer of power.

So funny to see all this "misinformation" in this thread. Trump never tried to overturn an election, he questioned the suddened historical changes that took place. He didn't demand he remained president, he demanded an investigation into the election held. As so still do millions of americans. 

Like the media you post and post, click your heels three times and believe your nonsense. How many charges does Trump face? I lost count. 

How is all this doing for democrats? Detroit News;  

If I were a Democrat in Michigan, I would be breaking the emergency fire alarms in the White House and demanding to know what the plan is for Michigan," Czuba said. "Because these numbers are very bad for any incumbent of any party."

In a potential contest between Biden and Trump, who is facing a historic onslaught of criminal charges, 47% of likely voters said they preferred the Republican, while 39% selected Biden, an 8-point advantage for Trump, 

It is that way across the nation. 77% do not want Biden, period. The Southern border to democrats is what Roe vs Wade was to Republicans. 

So what's plan B? More riots? Maybe another Jesse Smollet? Hey, let's get the FBI to track down more tresspassers from Jan 6th! Already did that. Ok, maybe the FBI can setup a big bust like Whitmer kidnapping plot. 

I think your running out of ideas.

@UNIMAN

 Sure ! 93 of his hand picked Republicans testified the contrary! You can believe what you want but it not factual ? God bless America!

2020 will happen again ! Poll numbers and conjecture are not votes! 

Which means - as it applies specifically to those particular republicans advancing that absurd rhetoric in face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary - that they rank among the most stupid in the entire world.

Not sure it could be said any better...if there was a mic drop icon it would be inserted (here)...instead you get a pair of

Misinformation? Good example of one of thousands.

And yes, that is fact.    Now with all the criminal charges we await to see if a FAIR jury of his peers will hold him accountable for his crimes.

by fair u  r referring to   the possibility that a maga cult sicko  gets onto the juries and blockades a conviction ?

fbi director has issued a dramatic warning that there r serious signs that chinese hackers r preparing sooner or later to wreak havoc on the us 

if and when that happens  can anyone guess who the magas will blame ? 

@KellyM_1964

If the Chinese do this as director Wray has warned this past week that they may attempt, I know one thing for sure, the MAGAS will not point the finger of blame at the cyber criminals in China

Hell no!  Not when they know they can go on their friendly partisan propaganda network FAKES NEWS and spin all blame on Joe Biden

@thirdperson

True.  From the 2020 elections  I documented on this forum a number of cases of uncovered voter fraud, and every one of them was perpetrated by republicans.....let alone the greatest fraud of them all - also perpetrated by a republican -  the "BIG LIE"

STUPID is as STUPID does

   1 in 3 dumbass Republicans believe baseless                     Taylor Swift election conspiracy theory

                                                                
CNN —
About one-third of Republicans say they actually believe
Taylor Swift is involved in a covert government effort
to help Joe Biden win the 2024 presidential election,
a poll published Wednesday from Monmouth University found.

The absurd and baseless conspiracy theory in question,
which was popularized in right-wing media ahead of
Super Bowl LVIII, alleges Swift’s relationship with
Travis Kelce was fabricated by the government as part of
a sprawling psychological operations plot. The goal of the
purported plot is that the Chiefs’ victory on Sunday would
present Swift with an even larger pulpit from which to
endorse Biden, swinging the 2024 presidential election in his favor.

There is no factual evidence to support the conspiracy theory

On yahoo news, Mary Trump criticizes Jon Stewart and media for misleading rhetoric claiming "both sides are the same" in comparing Biden and Trump.  Trump is a crude, unfit, fascist rapist.  A criminal defendant under 4 indictments.  A potential disaster for democracy.  He sides with US enemies at every opportunity.  In contrast, Biden is a elder statesman with experience in getting things done.   He gives the US a fighting chance in democracy.

According to Huffpost, election conspiracy theory group tells court it has no evidence of ballot harvesting alleged in film 2000 mules.  True the vote group has proven to be as untrustworthy as 60 frivolous lawsuits claiming widespread fraud in 2020 election.

 Thank god and all the heavens above us for the "election conspiracy theory group"
