It’s interesting and this sounds mean but it’s pretty simple, you tell socially/intellectually inferior people what the “real truth” is like their in on a secret that also fits their political leanings and worldview and they buy it. And the frustrating part is when they are told “maybe that’s not true” they call YOU the gullible one
Someone mentioned that on FB they noticed it’s always the dumbest people you went to school with spreading this stuff, it’s sad but pretty accurate (and they usually misspell half of it). Same people that want you to join their get rich quick pyramid scheme etc
And I guess now that it’s changing politics and becoming more mainstream people are concerned. I kind of feel like it’s always been a thing just different forms and maybe just more noticeable because of the internet
So you are saying that those that agree with CNN on this issue are socially/intellectually superior?
And if you tell people who think they're socially and intellectually superior that everything they think they know is a lie, the become angry.
And they write posts like you just did. "How dare you question me, mortal? Don't you know I'm better than you?"
Dude, there's something wrong with you.
