This is my mom's latest maga obsession. Constantly posting and talking about "liberal activist judges" who she says are letting criminal immigrants run loose on the streets...every example she cites, I'm able to debunk in under 60 seconds of searching online...Anyone else noticing this? I assume it's a current fox "news" talking point?
I'm an American who'd never even seen a Scottish football game before this season, but able to watch some games on Paramount now. What a crushing loss today, but it was a great game. I know that's not much consolation right now, but you all carried yourselves with class while those idiot fans were running onto the pitch at the end.
I've noticed a disturbing trend that I've seen crop up across different maga friend, family, and coworker groups: They question how we know if history happened the way the books say it happened.
My dear friends of reddit, I was a history major who graduated with honors, I cannot tell you how infuriating this is to me, and of course scary for all of us! And yet I'm usually too dumbfounded to answer when this comes up.
It absolutely blows my mind that they could believe every (often contradicting) word of a 2000-year-old religious text, but not a mountain of historical record in a history book? Humans invented the wheel, tamed electricity, and cured diseases (that are now coming back thanks to maga) but they don't believe we're capable of keeping accurate historical records?
I know this has to be part of the orange clown regime's plan to rewrite the narrative on everything, but does anyone know specifically where the cult members are getting this? And any tips on a quick answer when I come across it would be helpful, cause I'm usually too mad to think straight when I have to deal with these imbeciles out in the wild!
Thank you!
