@amalia22 Of course the accusations of "bias" come from the biggest partisan propagandist hypocrites on the planet.

@PatrickoftheG As these bigots will attest, there are plenty of gays in Texas. They might be "get off my land, don't tell me what to do" gays, but there's no shortage, even in the rurals. The whole "indoctrination" bit is an upside-down #ConfoundingGoebbelsianLie. These bigots are just mad that their personal brand of indoctrination gets challenged by people with functional brains.

@luckytran Getting rid of "ideological science" is a standard #ConfoundingGoebbelsianLie. It's a cheap pretext for *their ideological purge.

@JoeStewart @TCatInReality It's an example of the language abuse involved in crafting the #ConfoundingGoebbelsianLie. By faithfully adhering to conservative propaganda, my parents are independent skeptics "speaking truth to power" (what they call the "liberal MSM" - never mind that Fox News is quite "mainstream"). My questioning of conservative narratives can't be skepticism, because it aligns with the "liberal MSM," even when it doesn't. *I'm unduly credulous by virtue of my "liberal" nature.

@thetnholler.bsky.social Fake victimhood is a cheap cloak for unprovoked hostility. Some of our wars started with us faking an unprovoked attack and using that as justification to "retaliate."

@wdlindsy It's not that white Christians are just vaguely "being out performed demographically," but that there's a sinister plot to genocide white Christians. Stripping out the tinfoil-hatted nutter bit gives the theory too much credit. And, like much conservative propaganda, it's a typical #ConfoundingGoebbelsianLie - a fabricated "attack" that justifies "retaliation" as pretense for unprovoked bigoted hate.

@[email protected] The stated justifications for both tariffs & contesting the 2020 election are Trump's unearned entitlement/ fake victimhood (#ConfoundingGoebbelsianLie - just say your victims were the aggressors) papered over with technical-sounding half-assed horseshit farted out after the fact by lackeys. That's how this kakistocracy works. Spoiled infant Trump pitches a fit, and his bullshit army runs around trying to convince everyone how smart it is. Sadly, the cult buys it.

@tekhedd @briankrebs @brian_gettler The #ConfoundingGoebbelsianLie has the effect of obscuring important details, context, evidence and killing substantive discussion and pushing people into their partisan corners. For partisans, it's a perfect excuse to reflexively ignore the opposition.
