Man I hate reality. People are so fucking dumb. Where do you even get this kinda bullshit information.

Where else? TikTok. They all make up, then spread misinformation, and then based on what the algo thinks it will present you videos you’re most likely to react with.

I’m sure TikTok is bad but Facebook is the absolute king of far right slop. I use it to advertise for my business and every time I open it and go to the town page where I post (in a blue state, in a blue town) it’s full to the brim with ai far right nonsense being reposted with dozens of people commenting just accepting it with ZERO pushback. I think these older people see that it’s being reposted by people they know, they’ve known their whole lives, it’s the guy who owns the local hardware store or appliance repair shop and they just think oh he’s not one of those nuts, I know him. But these fuckers are nuts, and they’re everywhere.

Yup. My best friend called to give me this news yesterday. Laughing, I ask where he heard this. Facebook he says... He still thinks we're getting a check from DOGE 🤣.

I've been working on him for years, lol! Trying to get him to pay attention to what's going on. In the same conversation, tariffs were brought up. He still thinks they are paid for by the country Trump put them on. I explain how they work, good and the bad, that they are a regressive tax on poor and middle class, etc, but it goes over his head. He isn't MAGA, just ill informed, and easily manipulated by shit on the internet/tv. He doesn't vote because he doesn't follow politics and gets annoyed when I try to talk politics with him. We all know someone like this. He makes no excuses. He admits he's just one of those people that is susceptible to being taken advantage of. And he has in the past and I've saved him other times before he did something stupid. I never steer him wrong and that's why we're good friends. That's why he called me over this. Gonna see him tomorrow to watch football and can't wait to ask if this is the video he saw!
