Can we stop pretending that the right didn't do this to themselves? It's fine for politicians and elected officials to have their own opinions, it's not OK for them to misrepresent them as outright facts. That's literally the definition of "fake news" which they love to tout anytime someone says something uncomfortable about them. As these politicians continue to live in an alternate reality, they bring with them an inordinate number of voters. As we go from stretching the truth to lying, the lies become more extreme, as do the political views. We are no longer Americans with different views, we are opponents unable to have a discussion about the issues. And of course now the left is also free to use similar tactics going forward. It's a slippery slope. Both parties must be held accountable for their b.s. I'm an unaffiliated/independent voter and I've voted for both parties in the past (with varying levels of regret for both parties.) It's not OK for Fox News & CNN to be political party propaganda machines. It's not OK for Twitter/Facebook/etc to censor only the right for their opinions. Having said that I think it's completely fair for them to kick them off their platform for perpetuating outright, destabilizing lies. |
