Don't worry, the right-wing news bubble will get them riled up into saying "YES! YES! YEEEEES!" for all of that soon enough.

"Will"? We got Sen. Fetterman the other say saying that we should be thinking about Greenland like we do the Louisiana Purchase.

The Orange Turd isn't even in office and everyone in DC is already lost their goddamn mind.

news bubble thank you for that. The problem with modern society is that no one checks the news media of opposing viewpoints, comparing them and building their own conclusions.

I would argue for the importance of highly coordinated news monopolies in this. Many people with minimal civics education think they're getting a wide variety of news sources instead of the same three regurgitated from the same oligarchs.

I WISH I could get away from Right Wing "news." If I could ignore their garbage viewpoint, it would be great.

But the reality is one side is much louder than the other.
