I’m not saying this had any impact on the election but I have a Facebook filled with former coworkers and shyt on there. None that I really talk to.
However I live in the south and a great many of them are Republican Fox News watching and right wing radio listening types and you’ll be shocked how many, not in jest, share and believe stuff from Facebook pages like this. Stuff that is so obviously fake for me when I spot it but these people are so sold on the partisanship of the right they can’t see it’s ridiculous themselves. In any other circumstance these people don’t seem brain dead but when it comes to politics any rationality is lost.
What I’m saying is that this shyt is funny in how stupid it is. But seeing how many people’s minds are poisoned by it, it stops being so funny. While we laugh and dismiss it as silly, these people really buy into this shyt.
I’m thinking about taking a screenshot of one of these Facebook friends to just show you the shyt they share but I would have to make it non identifying.
