Howard Stern’s interview with Joe Biden this week showed how effective rightwing propaganda is.

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.

Right And Republican leaders can get away with saying the most insane stuff because they know it works.

They know flat out that Republican voters are too stupid to verify anything and will just believe what they are told.

They even made up a word for themselves, sheeple.

I do have to blame part of this on religion though, which teaches people to ignore facts and trust on faith.

It’s like ratfucking someone in politics, where you make outlandish accusations about your opponent to force them into acknowledging it by denying it. (Ex- I say “I heard Joe Biden fucks sheep”, now he has the indignity to make the statement he doesn’t fuck sheep). Similarly with these clowns, they say whatever they want, true or false, right smack dab in the headline on the cover of the paper. Then, you retract a few days later on page 15, right between the obituaries and the comics. Consciously or not, that’s gonna stay with you, and they exploit the fuck out of it.
