Well, 75 per cent of Republicans believe his lie that the election was stolen. They have chosen derangement. Round it down, if you like. Trump got 75 million votes in 2020, despite the economy cratering in the midst of a pandemic. I reckon two-thirds of those voters prefer Trump to the GOP...

I think you start off with the wrong question. You could have the best speaker in the world and it wouldn't make a difference to Trump diehards. And what does a hypothetical Obama v Shapiro have to do with anything? Is Shapiro running for president? I didn't read the lengthy Quora post. Why...

I don't read too much into this, but now would be a good time for Murdoch to decide that Trump belongs in the past. Just like Logan Roy ditched "The Raisin". https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/nov/17/rupert-murdoch-donald-trump-stop-focusing-on-the-past

Sorry, what's your point? The distorted ideas are the issue, not social media. And distorted ideas were being circulated long before social media came along. I agree that social media has been an accelerant but it didn't produce these ideas. Misinformation isn't new.

Again, talkback radio was giving a platform to nutters long before Twitter came along. Blaming social media is a mischaracterisation of the real problem, which is the increasingly unhinged politics of the RW as they watched their majorities vanish.

What point are you making here? Trump's influence has been diminished because he's no longer president. That generally happens when someone leaves the White House. We hear less from him, partly because of the Twitter ban, but how much has his influence been diminished within the GOP? He's the...

What is the basis for this? What regulation are you talking about? OANN has been saying for months the election was stolen. That's not extreme misinformation? Cable news may be relatively new but what you're really talking about is the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987. Again, long before...

There are plenty of cable news networks willing to share the lie. Are they all "regulated" and "educated people"? Trump, the GOP and the RW echo chamber are the ones at fault. They are the primary cause. Blaming social media first and foremost misdiagnoses the problem. Besides, if you go back...

Of course they do. And it's still not the fault of social media. When ISIS beheads someone and shares the video, is that the fault of ISIS or of social media? Platforms need to be responsible in the way they allow certain content to be shared but they are not ultimately as culpable as the...

I don't blame social media for the lie about the 2020 election. I blame the folks in positions of power who started the lie and endorsed the lie.

Huh? What are you saying?

Is it social media? Or is it Trump, the GOP and the RW echo chamber lying about what happened?

I'm not surprised but it paints a bleak picture.

Or they'd lose a massive chunk of the base if they split with Trump.

What are you saying? Voting for Duterte is not the same as wanting a return to the Marcos dictatorship.

What about everyone else?

This is pretty dark... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/13/daughter-of-philippine-leader-sara-duterte-to-run-for-vice-president

This is what I wrote in the middle of 2018. I'm not sure any of it has been disproven? The theory of the case for Trump's accusers is broadly that: Trump got into bed with Kremlin-connected Russian oligarchs who sought to funnel their money through international real estate The Kremlin sought...

Chris Christie wants to be the post-Trump Republican candidate. Good luck to him, and I mean that sincerely. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/nov/13/chris-christie-trump-election-lies-plain-nuts

Ask old mate to explain how Trump's first impeachment was based on the Steele dossier. It's the first line of his OP but he can't say how.

What about the Chinese yen? That depends which particulars you're talking about.

It's a pity you can't string a sentence together or establish any basic facts.

Is this true Balls In? The Chinese yen?

It's hard to deny anything when you can't make your own argument.

The Chinese yen?

Do you still believe it was the basis for Trump's first impeachment? Even though you can't say how.

You're like Robin to my Batman.

Would you agree that you don't know what you're talking about? It's fun watching you pretend.

You can't make your own argument?
