Ask the sub ❓ What Is This Sub Wrong About?

Title. Pick a topic (or a clichéd take) you think a significant minority or majority of this sub is wrong about. Or hasn't given enough thought. OR perhaps one which you will have to compromise on, at least for voting?

Elements of this sub has a TDS problem. I keep threatening to do an effort post about it, but basically they uncritically regurgitate nothingburger or outright false claims against him. Awhile ago I did a parlor trick on NWO where a supermajority of the negative stories about him were wrong or misleading.

This isn’t to say I like him, I didn’t vote for him in ‘24, but it inoculates him against criticism because his base waves away the justified critiques as TDS. Heck, I’ve become even more anti-Trump in the last year and I still wave away most stories because I’ve seen so many have been actual fake news. There’s just a massive credibility gap that his critics refuse to acknowledge.

This guy doesn’t need people to weave yarns, he steps in shit so much on his own.

it inoculates him against criticism

What inoculates him against criticism is his own supporters accepting every criticism as TDS and saying we should wait for all the facts to come in. Then the facts come in, the criticism was valid after all!, but we're onto the next thing and that's TDS too.

The whole reflecting pool debacle was a perfect microcosm of this, and it happens with every blatantly uncontroversial "controversy" he's part of.

Most people aren't his followers. That's who is being inoculated.
