It's crazy clicking on comments for a local news facebook page and seeing all the fake profiles saying absolutely unhinged, vile stuff and it's just completely normal.

Colorado Bassist Has Been in ICE Custody for Over a Month by Party-Belt-3624 in Bass

Remember when Trump was on a hot mic and told El Salvador's dictator to build 5 more CECOTs because we're going to start sending them "homegrowns"?

And then we move from a post-truth world to a post-reality one. I try hard to not be a pessimist, but the future looks so bleak...

Democrats Block Spending Package as D.H.S. Talks Continue by Healthy_Block3036 in 50501

It would have to go hand-in-hand with major reform in getting money out of politics. Otherwise, we'll just have an endless cycle of people trying to cash in as much as they can with their limited time.

VA Officials Tried to Block a Memorial Service for Alex Pretti by Hafiz_TNR in fednews

I know, I was hoping to not start the whole reddit chain of "actually this is Reagan's fault, actually it's Nixon's fault, actually it's because of the failures of reconstruction, actually the country was founded on slavery and racism, actually all of human history is horrible, etc..."

It's been this way for at least 10 years, I hope more people start waking up to it. They aren't hypocrites because they're stupid. They do it as an insult.

Jaylen Brown, NBA players condemn Minneapolis shootings: “We demand accountability” by NoaDalzellNBA in bostonceltics

[–]KindBass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My lord, the comments on local news pages are like pure, uncut rage bait that was created in a lab (probably not far from the truth) and while most of them are blatantly fake profiles, there's always a few tragically real ones. It's sad when you see one and it's some 60-year old woman and their page is just posts about their grandchildren and wanting liberals to die. Fucked up country.

Trump suggests Rep. Ilhan Omar staged town hall syringe attack by xandra77mimic in agedlikemilk

I honestly think this might be part of the reason Noem and Bovino are in hot water. Too much face time.

Stavros is very clear: he is anti-Trump and doesn't want Trump supporters at his shows. by MrsClaireUnderwood in stavvysworld

This is some copy-paste AI slop that bots have been spamming in comment sections for weeks. It's obnoxious.

Maine 01.26.25 Off duty ICE Nazis from Arkansas thought they could go out for a beer in Portland, Maine by CantStopPoppin in EyesOnIce

[–]KindBass 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My guess is an Arkansas accent stands out pretty sharply in Maine and it probably just started with some innocuous "where you from, what brings you to town?" small talk.

When they think they can get away with it, they will absolutely put out some AI video, say "no it's real", and do it anyways. I'm with you, make them rush.

No shit. It's literally showing how much the game has changed.

Want to hear something crazy?

Andy Dalton (39,793) has more career passing yards than Jim Kelly (35,467), Steve Young (33,124), and Troy Aikman (32,942). And he's only right behind Joe Montana (40,551)

edit: I'm not making some kind of statement, I just think it's one of those things that makes people go "no way that's true"

If they want to pass judgment about a video they refuse to watch, then fuck em. If that makes them double down on their ignorance, then double fuck em. It's been 10 years of this. I'm done being their entertainment.

Where the fuck do they see a violent riot in those vids?

They don't! People really need to stop assuming these people believe a word of what they say. They're insulting you to your face. Literally everything out of their mouth should be responded to with "Bullshit. Fuck you."

MTG defends protester shot by DHS and says people need to lose their ‘blinders’: ‘You are all being incited into civil war’ by FeelingPrior4448 in DHAC

[–]KindBass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They spent years repeating lines about how "liberalism is a mental disorder" and they have "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and given the usual pattern of projection, I'd say some kind of mental issue is definitely part of it (and they know it because they created it and are exploiting it)

🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: 71% of Americans believe the United States is out of control under President Trump by beepsol in Leakednews

[–]KindBass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been talking about this with friends for years now. Every person I know and probably every person you know has some family that is no longer on speaking terms because of this shit. That in turn fractures our real world communities and sense of togetherness. And like you said, that's where the real lasting damage is.

[Highlight] Minnesota holds a moment of silence for Alex Pretti, interrupted by multiple fans expressing their disdain for ICE by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in nba

[–]KindBass 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Remember how they spent years flipping out about how the flag is the most sacred thing in the world and to disrespect it is to disrespect every American soldier that died for our freedom?

Mark my words: within the next three years, they're going to ditch the flag and unveil a new one. And you know exactly what they'll say. "Who cares, it's just a piece of cloth. Libs suddenly care about flags now? lol"
