Twitter is a right-wing propaganda platform now. Why is everyone surprised by this?

[–] ech@lemm.ee 14 points 17 hours ago

Who is surprised? People are upset. The two are not the same reaction.

You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.

Driving Californians (particularly the wealthy and well-connected Malibu celebrity class) insane with rage and paranoia, then pointing them at the milquetoast liberal stand-ins for Far-Left Radicalism, will do to California what it did to New York, Texas, and Florida.

Just a matter of time before the right-wing propaganda machine crushes the brains of the enfranchised class. I'm already hearing my mother-in-law blame the stupid Los Angelinos for raising her own home insurance rates. And more than a few coworkers are smugly insisting this is what a DEI fire department gets you.

Being a Republican allows you to be a smug.Asshole and call it politics

Its not the Republican-ism that comes first. You have to sell people on the "I'm exceptional" mentality first, then insist they're being exploited by their inferiors. Malibu celebrities are a target rich environment for this kind of delusional elitism.

Expect a lot more Californians going on Joe Rogan and making up tall tales about how the fire was caused by poors and illegals stealing all the good firefighting water, while the state refused help for some arcane bureaucratic reasons related to The Fairness Doctrine.

Nevermind that there is a legitimate argument that deregulation made the fire as bad as it is.

Because one of the things deregulated in the LA area was the building of homes in high fire risk areas. like the ones currently on fire.

Ah yes, the notorious CA Border Control keeping visitors out. Make sure you bring your CA visa if you want to enter the state. 🙄

These people are fucking off the charts insane.

I can’t believe Biden and Obama started these fires. With their energy weapons. And now they aren’t doing anything to put them out. Trump would have had the fires out before they started. The dems aren’t even using aircraft or people….those videos on the news are fake AI.

-Some MAGA probably

Like it's stupid how easy it is to make up misinformation and disinformation, compared to how much effort it takes to refute it. Humanity is doomed.

I could just as easily say: "The Oregon fire department couldn't get to the fires in time because they had been stopped by immigrant caravans, woke transgender hitchhikers and antifa mobs!!!!!!"
