There's a part of me that thinks, if the right can do it, why can't we? If it takes an order of magnitude more effort to clear up falsified statements then why are we taking up all of our resources on representing the truth? Why can't we just start saying "they've started deporting American citizens in Miami back to Cuba?" or "The mafia is intimidating election workers to stuff ballots in XYZ county?" or "the government has been gutted so much that Social Security checks are not coming out in time. Old people in Arizona are getting kicked out into the streets and dying of heatstroke."
But then the Ego side of my brain smacks the Id side and says, "You dunce, that's how we become current-day Russia"
I wish. Actually I've seen some bitching turning the drop in democratic votes as "clear evidence" of 2020 cheating. That and conspiracy theories because Biden has been incredibly sharper after the debate (as in it was a conspiracy to take him out). It's hard to fight to not live in a bubble but holy crap the trumpettes and russian bots are very annoying.
