This has been policy since the Obama admin, where have you been? e: they downvoted him because they hated the truth.

  You sure you mean Barrack Obama, the 44th president of the USA? He's on record for disallowing this explicitly. The Republicans got quite a knot in their panties over it, too [1].

  No, I think the downvotes are because of the "both sides"-ism which is used as a deflection tactic to make it seem like it's just an overreaction. As someone else pointed out, what was stated isn't even true.

    The 'what about ism' is actually getting out of control with fake images. remember the 400mil$ jet that Trump got from Qatar (and the US attorney general blessed it, having been a consultant for Qatar). Facebook and others were flooded by images of Clinton receiving a Helicopter from some middle eastern country. and the tag line was 'nobody complained then'. The 'right' is actually just making up fake images/videos simply to allow them to say 'what about when Clinton did it'. just completely fake.

> Scary times It was Michael Moore in Bowling for Columbine[1] who commented on fear: > Moore’s central argument emerges as he explores the role of fear in American society and how it relates to gun violence. He suggests that the American government and media perpetuate a culture of fear, which in turn drives people to arm themselves, benefiting gun manufacturers and retailers. To illustrate this point, Moore compares the United States to other countries, particularly Canada, which has a high rate of gun ownership but significantly fewer gun-related deaths. Perhaps this is just another form of fear: fear of others. [1] https://watchdocumentaries.com/bowling-for-columbine/ https://watchdocumentaries.com/bowling-for-columbine/
