    Heh, I remember reading a letter to the editor of a small local paper in 1981 from some lady in her 80s or 90s that claimed Reagan was the beast from Revelations because his forename, middle name, and surname all had six letters.

    If she'd posted that on Facebook, it'd have been seen by millions of eyes.

The big difference social media has made is the way it's allowed hostile actors to purposefully create and propagate this stuff and easily reach a wide, gullible audience.
    You came to this website very recently, but I wish you were here when sturg and thethe were running wild with the Seth Rich stuff.

    But you're the one being naive if you underestimate how viral these things are spread and how easily they can influence the already confirmation biased individuals.

    Viral trends pop up on social media everyday. There's always a new challenge of some sort every week. People changing their profile pictures to a transparent background of the French flag, pitch black to protest police brutality, etc. Yet you can't possibly comprehend the fact that middle aged and older people who can't tell the difference between a real photo and a 5 minute photoshop won't have their opinions influenced by several of these low rate memes.

    And for someone who's always paranoid about how social media and Facebook are so big now they're doing the government's work on a facial database for them, I find it ironic you truly do not believe how much social media can affect not just the average person's psyche but anyone.

    I mean look how obsessed you are with the left on this website, and taking shots at anything any liberal or progressive does.

    You make fun of 57 for posting tweets, and you probably hyperlink as many tweets he does on here, all in the name of trying to pwn libs.
    I got off facebook years ago.

    Probably why I didnt fall for the Russia nonsense

    I remember all of these but the Scarborough one. The Clinton aide, Vince Foster? Limbaugh started that one back in the 90s. He claimed Foster had shot himself in the park, while standing on a chair he'd brought from his office, while holding the gun upside down with his thumb on the trigger and his arm cocked out and twisted in an impossible manner to bring the barrel to his temple while holding it that way, and that because none of that made sense, he had to have been murdered. The facts, of course, were that none of that made sense because none of it was true.

    The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.

    Last year I ran into someone (in a southern city) who went on and on about Hillary having killed Vince Foster. Apparently the belief lingers.

    There's a gun shop near me that was advertising a sale on guns for the zombie apoc a few years ago (on their sign by the road, one of those flashing arrow signs you put the letters on?). Dead serious. I've always hoped/assumed it was a joke.

    I can't believe I DVR'd that series. It was wild. Random couple in middle of nowhere Oklahoma preparing for a nukular attack/terrorist EMP attack spent 5 years learning Mandarin, Arabic, and Tagalog as an alternate language so incase some people broke into their bunker or house they could communicate in another language and the bad guys wouldn't know what they're saying. Even showed the cameras their tactical blueprint for defending their fortress. Several guns in every room/hiding spots.

    Then all the other couples buying the nukular silos and turning them into underground luxury condos for the apocalypse.

    Yeah. The survivalists showing their bunker set ups and back up plans was a bit much. Like thanks Tom and Delores. When **** hits the fan I know to find you in Nebraska somewhere and just take your retreat away from you.

    I bet people thought Bert Gummer were crazy in those Tremors movies, but when the **** hit the fan where did they go? Bert's house.

    That and he was married to Reba. I'd have gone there too.

    No question living in far SW VA the famed "Clinton Hit List" still exists. I have a friend that runs a local business and I try and give her trade when I can. She is sweet, kind, attractive and very personable. But she is beyond crazy when it comes to the Clintons. She used to lecture me when I would go in that I was sinning just by voting for Dems and headed for Hell if I didn't switch. I am positive the next time I see her she will bring up Epstein and supposed Clinton involvement.

    I met real life preppers who use zombies as a metaphor for people who are unprepared. The idea is that those people will be stumbling around dumb, unprepared, and nothing to eat but each other. It's an interesting mindset.

    the question i always have is whether Trump, sturg and thethe are among the gaslit or the gaslighters

    i suppose it is a bit of both
