Often wondered, how did they lose their common sense?

So many times Greenwald's articles hysterical over something government surveillance/warmongery Obama supposedly did, and you'd find out it happened during the Bush administration, or wasn't anything. Every day is was Obama drones Obama drones, which completely disappeared the day after the election. Same with government surveillance. I stupidly thought that nonsense couldn't get any worse and then came the 2016 election when the conspiracy theory bullshit attacks against Democrats exploded. Used to be radical to call someone on your own side evil, corrupt, racist, practically Satan, and then it wasn't.

The Snowden-is-a-hero people: Really pathetic.

What he said about a week ago. Idiot. Looking forward to what he'll come up with now that he can't blame the invasion on an evil American imperialist fake news plot.
