  • It’s an infinitesimally small number of americans who get to adulthood and actively participate in our society who don’t understand the very basic fundamentals of democracy and civics.

    Sounds like it was the majority of Americans in this case, since 60% didn't turn out.

    And just from my anecdotal experience, people are fucking dumb and they continue to surprise me day after day with just how dumb they can be.

  • The headline makes it sound like the influencer took the money and posted the video.

    Edit: that's because he did. His was the account that posted the fake 'Hatian's voting illegally in Georgia' video.

    “I don’t have any idea where it came from or anything - I’m just the guy who shared it,” he said.

    Well, isn't that the fuckin problem?

    AlphaFox said the staged Georgia video wasn’t the first time he was paid to post content on his X account. On roughly 10 other occasions, Boikov paid him $100 to post memes and videos on the account, he said.

    “It started with memes, and it seemed innocent,” he told CNN.

    When Boikov’s requests then shifted to posting election-related videos, like the fake Georgia voter fraud footage, “I didn’t think anything of it,” he said.

    He insisted to CNN he did not know Boikov worked for Russian state media.

    A useful idiot, accepting peanuts and unknowingly weakening our democracy. Anyone from any side of the political spectrum should be cautious of anyone offering money to push a meme.
