I think we should dive into the Fake News business from our POV ! Bet DUers

[Laura PourMeADrink]

could come up with the BEST stuff.

If we can't get rid of Asshat legally, let's diminish him to Zero Approval rating !!! It will help us in 2018 !

And be a hell of a lot of fun.

1. no thanks

creating "fake news" is essentially lying to control people. Clearly a non-virtuous act. Probably would backfire as well. Trust is based on honesty. I yearn for integrity and honesty in politicians. We won't get there if we ourselves lose our own integrity in the process.

Don't let negative emotions kidnap you and drag you down the wrong path.

2. Eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. I think we should truth bomb using the same

Google analytics things they use to keep the search results more balanced. Of course that would require bot farms and a team of URL creators.

4. The GOP are not my teachers/mentors.. I'll follow a higher standard

I understand your frustration though

6. i don't think anything fake we could come up with would be as damaging as the truth

he's already basically a goddam cartoon villain who succeeds by duping his followers while destroying everything around him
he's already the nadir of human decency
any fake news we invented would either be redundant or too preposterous to catch on anyway
maybe just focus on spreading the truth

7. Although I have felt exactly the same way

I don't think it would be a good move. Too many crap sources out there already. Part of being on DU is contributing to the review process of any material that is posted. Creating a fake news site, then, is the very antithesis of DU.
