Answer back to Fox News
For about a month now, I have been writing comments about the various news stories on the Fox News website. Sometimes I will have up to 8 different fox news stories open on my screen and reply to each with different counterpoints, often a number of them on the same story over the course of an hour or two. It’s actually rather fun and satisfying….being able to get your say in with these people.

This way, I can post dozens of attention getting posts that the fox followers will read, often with ‘interesting’ feedback from them, as you can well imagine. Surprisingly, there are a substantial number of us Democratic types that post on there, or that rate the comments. (I’ve had up to 12 likes for a post). In actuality though, the foxers outnumber the ‘normals’ by 8 to 1? Or more? Our correct side needs more troops over there to help educate them about the truth.

Over time, I’ve had to change my delete my account and change usernames when Fox catches on, or someone complains. I think this has happened when I post too much too quickly, perhaps and also when I get down on Fox directly, so be a little circumspect. At a certain point, Fox will keep showing you your posts, but no one else will see them. You will know this when no one reacts to them, or you can do as I do, and go to your incognito page and see if your posts show up or not on fox there.. It’s a pretty easy get around though, just delete your account, keep the same url, and create a new account with a new user name.

Please try and keep things civil. Witty if possible, and try to avoid insults. We’re here to convince Fox people who are often woefully ignorant of the truth. Educate them.

I don’t believe you’re supposed to cut and paste, but I do successfullyIt’s actually kind of fun, (addicting?) to post, and I think it may actually do a lot of good, as a lot of fox readers aren’t necessarily commited Trump cultists and may be on the fence.
Below is an example of what I post.
See you over there!

Trump voters are OK with him wishing to defund Social Security?
Just to further enrich himself and his superrich cronies, (like the 2017 tax cuts for the uber wealthy did)?
Trump's Push To Cut Payroll Taxes Would Gut Social Security. He Has No Plan To Fix It.
The president's gambit gives Democrats a potent attack line just months away from the November election.
Many Republicans have long wanted to get rid of Social Security and trump may grant their wish.
From the Wall Street Journal 8/13/20:
Mr. Trump unveiled the payroll tax cuts., he has repeatedly described his own administration’s plans in a way that suggests he is seeking a much more sweeping elimination of the tax.

“We’ll be terminating the payroll tax after I hopefully get elected,” he said at the White House, following two similar comments during the weekend about making payroll tax cuts permanent. He then said the government could use general taxes and strong economic growth to cover any shortfall in the Social Security trust fund, which is largely funded by the payroll tax.
WSJ.

Be careful what you wish for, and who you vote for. Don’t let the rich elite pull your strings.
Don’t get fooled again.
Save our democracy this fall.
Vote for Joe
