Damn-dewey - Just Some Fuckery

Irony...

Since the ratfucking has quintupled since the debate last week, here's a reminder that comments like this only exist to depress voter turnout.

these are all comments on the post I just reblogged. from within the last month.

Not every comment like this is part of an astroturfing psyop (and I'm not saying that the people in the screenshots are part of an astroturfing psyop), but we need to remember that the whole point of the astroturfing psyop is to flood your feed with certain ideas or claims in order to make it seem like a lot of people are talking about this so it must be serious and also true!

The thing is, it doesn't matter whether it's an outright lie, a half-truth, or even actually true. Because the goal isn't just to make you believe the lies. The goal is to make you proliferate them. To distort the truth just enough. To use empathy, outrage, fear, and (most importantly) urgency to convince a few regular people like me and you to believe This Thing is important enough to repeat.

And it only takes a few. Because once the idea is coming from someone you know and trust --your friends, your family, yourself-- it becomes the truth.

If the people I trust believe it, that must mean it's true.

If it's true, why is no one talking about it?

If no one's talking about it, they must not know about it.

If they don't know about it, I have to tell them.

If they don't believe me, I have to convince them.

If I can't convince them, I have to shame them.

You are not immune to becoming propaganda.

Two days ago my husband said "...and he was pissed" and I said "don't say that around the kids!" so he corrected himself to "and he was liquid angry" and I've been laughing since

Meanwhile, at the Once Upon A Bird place...

Looks like Elon (and possibly also Trump's son) got freaked. ...The account was later reinstated, apparently without explanation or comment.

The Dude was also in on the call, which is kind of fun. :)

dear USAmericans,

VOTING WORKS!!!

French people showed up, French people voted, turnout was higher today than it has been since 1997, and we kicked the far right to 3rd place

a week ago, the far right was the biggest party in France, we were slated for a far right parliament, prime minister, and government

this week, we voted against them en masse and we won!

VOTING WORKS!

you're up next in November! it's very rare we get to say this, but this one time, take example on the French! show up and vote!

because VOTING WORKS!

trump may or may not implement project 2025 or agenda 47, but he does publicly support much of what is written in them. Overall they are not supportive of women’s rights. Some republicans advocate going back to when women couldn’t vote.

Kamala Harris is very supportive of women’s rights both publicly and in her policies. She clearly states “we’re not going back”
