The lies of the left far exceed what has come out of Trump's mouth, much less the right's.
Funny how there were zero attempts at squashing the lies of the left (eg: the Russia hoax, the Steele dossier, Trump being a racist, the stolen-election recriminations, "mostly peaceful" protests, masks work-but-don't-work, etc etc etc.)
There is no room for truth anymore, we are well past the truth. Those that were supposed to be arbiters of truth (fifth estate) abandoned their responsibility and embraced Trump Derangement Syndrome.
It's sad that this is where we've gone and the people supposedly interested in preventing the undermining of democracy, the rule of law, bipartisanship, and political unity are now attempting to steer the conversation again. No, you who are squawking about 'lies,' 'riots,' and 'democracy' have already lost all credibility.
Double standards
- 24gttghh 6y agoIt's funny that your lies about the left are lies themselves. Actually, it's not funny and it's how trump whipped up thousands of people to attempt a coup last week.
- ipsocannibal 6y agoThis comment is laced with the same tired hostile factless memes that are the standard currency of unproductive comments. Take this crap to Twitter
- ihsw 6y agoMartin Fowler's entire post is a rehash of tired hostile factless memes. The whole thing is virtue signalling at its finest. That's why he wrote it and that's why it was posted on HN -- specifically to signal to the community that he's on your side and that he will serve as a lever for leverage to be applied. There is a concerted attempt across the entire industry to impose tyranny -- make a statement condemning Trump and his allies or else.
