Whenever I tell my conservative family members this is how the guy talks and this is what he says he wants to do, they think *I'm the one being crazy* because they are not seeing much of this in the news.

These details are horrific — a white man falsely claimed he was assaulted by a Black man and randomly pointed to Tyron McAlpin, who is deaf and has cerebral palsy. Phoenix police proceeded to punch him in the head 10x, tase him 4x, put him in a chokehold & charge him with felony aggravated assault.
And the City of Phoenix leaders will respond by continuing to ignore DOJ oversight and give these corrupt, violent cops more money www.abc15.com/news/local-n...

He was surprised that I couldn't immediately find the bullshit when I went to YouTube, so I got to explain a little bit about the watch algorithm that puts more bullshit in his life (because he already watches a lot of bullshit). 2
A conservative family member from a swing state called me up yesterday to ask why there were so many YouTube videos for an obviously bullshit story. So I got to explain a bit about how outrage farming works. 1
Trying to keep in mind that so many of the world's most awful people are trying to make things extra awful right now to help their special boy win the election.
I don't think I realized the true power of incumbency until I saw judicial retention election returns in Cook County.
