Wait, how is this a bad thing? I mean, I get it, misinformation and all that, but if it gave some people a shimmer of hope for just a second... fuck, we kinda need that right now! Just saying.

    We cannot normalize spreading of misinformation. If we do, the GOP will take that and run with it.

    Unfortunately tRump is still alive. For now. The way he eats, that may change at any time. Until that happens we must stick to the truth.

    It sounds like you're implying that the GOP are not currently spreading misinformation constantly from every orifice. They definitely are and have been for a long time.

    That's not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is that right now, the GOP lies, but most people don't.

    Most people understand that lying is bad.

    If we start normalizing all people lying, then the GOP isn't even lying when they lie. They're just being human. No one would hold them accountable, because EVERYBODY is doing it.

    But if we hold honesty to a higher ground, and honor those who adhear to it, and shun people who lie, then we have the system that's still in place right now.

    I know it looks bleak now. I get it. But look at history. Dictators fall. They always fall. And when they do, we put Mussalini's head on a pike. Hitler knew his only option was a bullet to the head.

    Nixon resigned and had Ford pardon him before he could face consequences.

    But they always fall.

    This particular group of bloodsuckers aren't in it together. I don't think tRump will face consequences, but I feel like he's going to be too selfish to pardon anyone.

    I really hope that you and the people upvoting this are not being completely serious. The idea that we should spread misinformation because it makes people feel good has to be one of the craziest ideas to admit to having

    I'm not. I didn't think the /s was necessary there. Misinformation or the dilution of good information is never good. But there's a lot of bad shit out there, a lot of bad news. People need a win. But it can't be something a sycophantic AI made up. Also, it's not cool to wish death upon anyone. I'd rather the Epstein class faced real consequences. They won't, but they should.
