The new version of "swatting": "Magatting". Just tell ICE/Secret Service etc someone you don't like said something mean about Trump.
- Red scare 3.0
- It took Republicans a solid 6 or 7 years to catch up to Eric Cartman.
- Maybe we can encourage a tariff on it to distract them. If that doesn't make sense, we once waged war on drugs 🤷‍♂️
I'm kind of really tired of liberal news outlets doing this. Let me make it clear for those of you in the back of the room: THEY DON'T CARE IF YOU CATCH THEM LYING.
They don't care about being hypocrites. Calling them out on it and shaming will not work on the shameless.
- It's a method of normalization.
  You keep pushing the message .... false, lie, exaggeration, rumor, suggestion, whatever
  Keep repeating and pushing the idea of immigrant terrorists and everyone will talk about it.
  Until at one point everyone will believe it.
  “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda attributed to the Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels.
  
  This is so true and so depressing
Of course it fell apart. All these people do is lie, cheat, steal, and so on...
Plenty of people have threatened to kill Trump. I see threats every day. They say everyone is doing it.
They're even taking the jobs of imaginary would-be assassins 😔
lol it was his wife I’d bet.
Fell apart because people could not find a legit way to donate to the cause?
Yes, but will "the news" call bullshit, or will they continue to normalize the false information we're being bombarded with?
Scumbags want to make people to become racists again.
There's ya story yall. Elon said he gon' kill that white man.
- African American crime.
We all know that's Melania's plan.
Was it that malaria chick?
So what? We have plenty on non-immigrants that want him dead. His own diet wants him dead. This is a nothing burger.
Grifters lie. Water is wet.
