Many of our fellow citizens are ticking me off

I post a real news story about the increasing rates of covid and they alert my post as fake. They jump all over it telling me that it's a lie because it is not from fox news and other sites like it.

They say we are doing much better than the rest of the world. And they try to say our numbers are bigger because we are bigger than other countries.

I don't know if they are really that dumb or just doesn't have the education to understand the information. And I really don't know how to dumb it down enough for them. Maybe they just want to believe the bubble land that Velveeta Voldemort is selling because the truth is just to much for them to take emotionally.

Trumpers are hammering them. Some aren't even in the state. It's not right.
I know Raul Grijalva and Ann Kirkpatrick can stand up for themselves, but I hate seeing this jerks posting false information to try to say that they are doing a bad job.

Your sanity isn't worth it.
I spend about 15 minutes a week on FB. No more.
The extra time I get back is spent poking fun of DFT and McTurtle on Twitter.

We aren’t doing a good job.

We have done a terrible job.

Just like everything else Trump has ever done.

It is an abysmal failure.

If Facebook or whomever flags or deletes your information then delete your account. They are trash anyway who aided Russia in electing Trump

Sometimes I wonder if they know how to do that. I have a hard time believing many of them are smart enough.
