Agreed. That’s what Americans voted for. Over 2/3 voted Trump or didn’t vote. The anti-vax conspiracy nutjob was an advertised part of the Trump package that they chose.

Remember when some major US corporations were suppliers to Nazi Germany and supporters of the American Fascist Party right up until Pearl Harbor? And how the US had zero involvement in WWII to that point? We often forget that. Americans didn’t “exterminate evil”; the US got attacked.

DRUDGE remains the only outlet that covers Trump the way they would if he were a Democrat. But what he's doing here is a step up. It's what we need far more of from the objective media. An attempt to break the 4th wall and attempt to explain the motivations behind Trump's mayhem.

Propaganda and misinformation rely on us clicking “like/reskeet” because a post fits our worldview, without checking for sources or caring about truth. That makes it harder to know what is true…and easier for those in power to misdirect the public. No verifiable source? No like. 👎🏼
DW Brightman (@dbrightman.bsky.social)
Is an account regularly posting “BREAKING” w/no source, or screaming “[PERSON] DESTROYED by take-down!!1!” Guess what? That’s a propaganda account. Left? Right? Propaganda. Demand sources. “Show us the splattered remains of [DESTROYED PERSON], who is really just slightly embarrassed, IF THAT.”
DW Brightman (@dbrightman.bsky.social) reply parent
My point is that they are not “deciding not to post links because algo”; they are posting links, just not to news sources. Occ Dems NEVER posted links to news sources that I recall. Also; posting the links in comments rather than the main post is the dodge.
DW Brightman (@dbrightman.bsky.social) reply parent
Occ Dems typically posts “BREAKING: Some Unsourced Crap” and then comment with a link…to their fundraising page. That’s not about the algo. Link in comments, broken if you want Canadians to see it, works well. 👍🏻

I will note that the group’s facebook page has recently (last couple of weeks) acknowledged criticism that they weren’t providing sources and has begun crediting verifiable news sources on most posts. I have the same criticism for Occupy Democrats and others.
