Does anyone else remember when "they" broke up the anti-work movement on reddit by putting a mod on fox news then dividing the community by creating the work reform sub? (lemmy.world)

It's a pretty common tactic by people pushing an agenda to interview an idiot with certain views and then present it as if everyone with those views are just as dumb. It's common on conservative outlets but I also don't like it when people do interviews at Trump rallies and find the biggest idiot to put in front of the camera. It's disingenuous to do that.

There aren't any non-idiots at traitor rallies.

The thing about trump rallies is you’d have to look really hard to find someone with a full set of functioning brain cells.
