Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I am so angry at the naming of their little coup. It makes me sound like a nutjob for mentioning it to the libs who know nothing about the DNCs little (and ongoing with a different name) scam
It doesn't matter. If you mention it to libs, they refuse to engage with it. I'm currently trying to get some moron on reddit to even read an article about it, and all they come back with is
So??? She's just using Democrat resources to boost the craziest Republicans so everybody sees how crazy that party is and never votes for them again!![emoji smuglord smuglord](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/97a4a756-428f-4517-846a-1c810805ad28.png)
. . . What do you mean they became the 4th Reich and are now more popular than ever?![emoji wojak-nooo wojak-nooo](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/238a629b-6964-4687-a697-2f0c14fd0577.png)
Or even more awful, they'll acknowledge that they did it but say to look at how well it worked, which, by percentage it did for congressional elections, ignoring the fact that all it allowed them to do was run blue-dog Democrats in those districts. They are actively pushing everything to the right.
Of course, these will be the same people who are convinced that we can push the Democrats left.
I can't imagine being so BlueMaga as to be happy my campaign donations end up in the hands of the biggest psychos in the country.
But I'm sure they can rationalize that too
