YoBuckStopsHereRon DeSantis’ False claim that some states allow ‘post-birth’ abortions. None do.
GRENADE_MAGNETIn 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.
NeatoThat 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.
TechyDadFrom my understanding, they think a post-birth abortion happens when an abortion isn’t successful and a live baby is born. Then the “liberal woke doctor” kills the baby and calls it a post-birth abortion.
Obviously, this never happens. Of course, the point isn’t to highlight something that actually happens, but to demonize the left regardless of any facts or truth. They’ll claim that the left is so abhorrent that we kill newborn babies. They don’t care they we aren’t actually killing newborn babies. The mere accusation is enough for them.
