Griffin added more details to her initial post, writing, “A senior US official tells me that it was a US military strike on Iran’s Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas moments ago but added this is NOT a restarting of the war or end to the ceasefire.”

        Twice.
        TWICE

        The first time was moronic, but the second is unforgivable. Just unforgivable.

      The most significant issue with an idiot is that they will always assume that everyone around them is less intelligent than they are.

            Yeah but we’re talking about America where education through the 12th grade is compulsory. By virtue of passing every American with a high school education should be capable of analyzing and consuming media at a pre-collegiate level. More than half can’t do it at even a sixth grade level. Half of Americans are functionally illiterate. Just look at any reddit thread or any America centric fediverse thread.

      It thinks Republicans are. Because passivity from the Republicans in the Senate is all he needs to keep the war going. I certainly have no faith in the military to reject unlawful orders themselves.

      Basic article, but news snippets & headlines (sans article reading) can work the same way. As one example, we are now seeing pregnant women shun Tylenol, not for anything specific they remember, just a vague “I heard it could be bad for the baby.”

      MAGA knows what they say in brief sound bites, on repeat, can and will have similar impact.

      Not on all. But they don’t need all. They just need enough absorbing the info in this way to keep us divided and forever following different information.

      Nah, they think you’re powerless. And they’re generally right.

        It’s true statement and a sad one. People need to turn that around, they are not powerless, but they are conditioned to think so.

        You hold the power…if you choose it. You are not ants to be squished.
