What a thoughtful cartoon that I'm sure had a lot of reflection and contemplation put into it to perfectly sculpt its message to these trying times. Oh hold on, I'm getting an email from an alternate, better, timeline:

It's that time again, when the outgoing president hands his big box of problems to the president-elect. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10When you die and go to Hollywood Heaven, it takes some time for you to fully materialize.

To be fair, there has been some disingenuous ways in which this story has been covered. Russia hacked the DNC to get information in order to help Trump win the election, but they did not hack the votes themselves.

Your friends must be smarter than mine because I've heard a lot of people in the last few weeks who are apparently 100% convinced that Russia singlehandedly decided our election results via hacking (they are, however, not specific as to what exactly this hacking did)

It's not perfect since a lot of people don't actually know what the crime in Watergate was, but most people are aware it wasn't about voter fraud.

Thus my point stands: the problem doesn't seem to be with the media, but rather with where people get their news. Vague innuendo on social media from people who don't know anything more about a subject than "a thing happened" is how this kind of false narrative spreads.

See the problem is one of phrasing, it seems like a "gotcha" question so you just give the answer that more closely matches your views. I know Russia didn't literally "hack the vote" but if you asked me a question like this, one that doesn't include context or what I believe to be the correct answer, I'm going to pick the answer that more closely matches my beliefs. There is no room for "No, but..." so, gently caress it: yes.Potato Salad posted:Pseudoliberal aging white male hipster Bernouts wealthy enough to own a bigass TV and cable (holy poo poo the first panel) think: I shared this comic with brother mine: "blow it out your rear end. Have you been to any political group meetings since the election? The left is in big big danger, and if they don't accept reality we're screwed. But they're all delusional, holding onto identity politics. Do me a favor and name one conservative author/thinker that you respect. We won't beat this new form of cultural nationalism unless we understand the other side because obviously screaming that they're racist misogynist pigs doesn't work anymore. Tulsi Gabbard should run in 2020 Also watch Adam Curtis And that comic is funny how it's punchline is basically "look fox news! Remember to keep being a partisan hack!" https://www.washingtonpost.com/post...m=.162c13ace30e "
