The current administration targets them too, at least if you listen to the Twitter feed of the POTUS. There really is a problem here that social media has brought about. It's no one platform's fault or administration's fault, but we now find ourselves in a situation where anyone can publish anything and reach a large audience. We've got two halves of the country living in different realities. Very different realities with different sets of facts about what is happening.
I don't know what the solution is, and I don't think we will ever get everyone agreeing on the best course of action for the country; in fact we don't want that as the crucible of debate over the best course of action is one of our strengths. But if we can't even get people to agree on the facts of what we are experiencing, then there is no productive debate about ideas and we will tear ourselves apart from the inside. I don't want to put too fine a point on this, but what this is causing is one of the gravest national security threats in our lifetime.

There are people, Americans, who legitimately believe that the number of votes cast in the state of GA is double the population of the state of GA because of a screenshot...of the Republic of Georgia.

SSG Robert Webster made the rounds on Twitter. I couldn’t track down a point of origin. I don’t even remotely pretend this exclusive to any one party either. We tend to not fact check things that support our preconceived notions, we just like and share and accept. That’s the real tragedy of social media.

SFC Thomas Foreman - That is why I try to fact check this stuff myself. I am very tired of all of the Russia, Russia, Russia BS and then the acceptance by way too many people that Democrats and the left did not wrong.
And like the mask issue, the ignorance continues to astound me, and that includes people that should know better.

SSG Robert Webster I have a pretty reliable method of fact checking where I bounce back and forth between media sites I know have a bias one way or the other, and find the commonalities. Usually that’s the truth. Honestly I’ve found the AP and NPR to be reasonably non-partisan for straight news.

SPC Michael Head tell you what. When the Trump campaign exposes voter fraud that counted votes in their favor I’ll entertain the idea of a re-vote

SSG Robert Webster - To elaborate, who cares what this guy says and who cares what he thinks about facebook.
