The Star prints a daily column called "Let It Out" in which locals say what's on their minds. Unfortunately, a lot of them don't seem to have very much room, as is demonstrated by the comment reproduced above. Just how clueless are these people, anyway?
In case this is a talking point from your bubble (and most of the stupid things printed in the column are bubblicious talking points), listen up:
Comparing the charges made about the two elections is definitely comparing apples to oranges. President Trump, in all his narcissistic glory, screeches constantly that there has been fraud, with "millions of fraudulent mail-in ballots" and a giant conspiracy to change votes cast by his supporters to the opposite party.
Lest you've forgotten, as detailed in The Mueller Report, all seventeen of the intelligence services agreed that Russia meddled in the election by publishing false, misleading, and inflammatory material about Trump's opponent; including so-called "fake news" (Star Pizza, anyone?) and stolen emails. According to statements made by government officials, there is no credible information that a single vote cast in 2016 was changed. That is a fa-a-a-a-r cry from claiming that some shadowy, unnamed conspirators changed votes and introduced fake ballots. So no, Mr. or Ms FoxNation, there's no comparison. Then again, you're probably one of the people who were fooled by Russian disinformation four years ago... |
