Well...there was the small matter of a violent insurrection at the Capitol Building by people who variously: flew the Confederate flag, believed Democrats eat babies, refuse to believe the results of the election, all of which are nonsense beliefs or causes that were magnified on social media.

At some point people in general - and HN in particular - have to decide when to rein in bad actors crying wolf. Otherwise they take over - literally.

I just have to point out that your comment reads to me like you are crying wolf.

However, I'm not a US citizen so I don't follow the situation closely.

US citizen here who followed the situation: they're not crying wolf.

What are you trying to say anyway? Cool, so you don’t know what’s going on, and don’t particularly care. So what?
