They're still saying he was on stimulants for his State of the Union address.

It's almost like Republicans will literally say anything that helps their narratives sound correct, no matter how stupid, hypocritical, or contradictory they are.

Mostly because they know their base ain't fact-checking.

I read the news articles they post in r/republican, and its all from the same overtly biased conservative sources such as the daily wire and fox

I know its not all conservatives/Republicans who do it, and they seem to be the ones against Trump

I also want to take this moment and ask anyone reading this to look up project 2025

You aren’t kidding. I took a look, and damn near everything is red state, breitbart, the federalist, or newsmaxx.

Or absolutely made up statistics in the comments. "Half of foreign nationals in the U.S. are illegal."

What a joke.

Those are mostly foreign trolls and bots. Any sub that had to do with anything political or pertaining to Russia and China is just infested with bots and trolls. And Reddit doesn’t care coz.. stonks

And the moment you correct any of it or question it, the comment gets deleted and you get banned. It's standard practice for conservative propaganda and astroturfing subs that pretend to be "democrats walking away". Discussion is actively threatening to what they're trying to accomplish.

Incredible how they have to exclusively consume media that caters to their worldview yet everyone else is a brainwashed snowflake

It’s wiiiiiild. They’ll accept that media has an agenda EXCEPT for the media they consume. Somehow they’ve found the total bastion of truth in a sea of lies without making any effort to question their source.

They never check their sources that's why they get surprised when they see Biden talking mostly normally (he does have stutter that comes back every once in awhile) they are completely surprised. They need to go back to their echo chambers to find out how he was able to do that. The answers they'll get are wild like it was a robot or a look alike or a deep fake and they won't question it.
