I think it's hardly surprising that the untruths spread by propagandists during election campaigns and by biased pundits don't always line up with observed facts or lived experiences. They don't call them spin doctors for nothing.
The solution is to dig in to statements of truth for yourself until you uncover verifiable facts. This is true as much for assertions in electoral campaign literature as much as claims of grand conspiracies to subvert privileges through widespread intramuscular injections of 5G microchips. Check the references provided, and if there are no references then check your gullibility.

- mistermann 5y agoIt should also be noted that one can regularly observe people engaging in framing (intentionally or not) those who dissent as doing so only because of propaganda or religion, despite not having knowledge of the true underlying reasons.
