Ron DeSantis’ False claim that some states allow ‘post-birth’ abortions. None do. - Lemmy.world

In case anyone doesn’t understand how all this works:

Republicans make outlandish, grandiose, patently untrue, vitriolic and inflammatory statements.

This is picked up by right wing “news” outlets like FOX, OAN, Newsmax, etc. and “reported” and repeated. To the people who watch these sources they believe its legitimate, real and true.

These people ONLY get their information from these sources: huge echo chambers. There is no fact checking, no competetimg opinion and no misinformation correction. It is in fact the purpose.

This is meant to stir anger, resentment and many other immoral narratives and it works.

Post birth abortions are OF COURSE not a thing but that truth will be lost on the people that consume and believe this bullshit.

That is very true and explains a lot.

I do wonder what the ring-wing viewers think a post-birth abortion is. Because unless I'm missing some context that redefines "post-birth" that's just regular murder. And I'm still struggling to wrap my head around the wrapped-ass mindset you'd need to think your political opponents are OK with just yeeting infants straight to the morgue.

No, you got it right. The right is trying to say that democrats are all baby murderers, and they’re using the “post-birth abortion” phrase to act like “Look, this is what they call it, to pretend to themselves it’s not actually murder. But we right-thinking republicans all know it’s really murder” and the viewers goes “Wow, those baby-murdering democrats can even convince themselves they’re not committing murder!” instead what they should REALLY be thinking which is “wait, are they really all murdering babies? Like really?”
Conservatives are people who love to be lied to. They think dishonesty is virtue and honesty is a vice. That’s why we have qtards, pizzatards, birthertards, sandyhooktards, startthestealtards etc.
Worse, they don’t believe in virtue and vice. They believe that “Who said it” is more important than what was said, Trump and Obama could say the same exact factual thing, but they’d only agree with Trump.
