Good question! I mean, I'm not suggesting that the left should create compelling, motivating, entertaining (but not necessarily "literally" true) content targeting low-information voters in an effort to swamp out fascist garbage. Nor would I imply that the time has come to use every underhanded, dirty, ratfucking trick in the book to make those voters distrust Republicans. Heaven forbid!

But I will say outright that in my estimation the left's fastidious, timid, mousy attempts to debunk the tidal wave of fascist bullshit is not working out very well.

We need more viral leftist shitposting, and less concern about getting every single fact exatly right.

oh okay thank you!

yeah actually a lot of my account is focused doing exactly that :) this is reposted, but my original content i try to keep very rhetorically effective—and i also fact check it (unlike this trainwreck lol)
