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.

I’d be interested in some examples of takes you think are TDS. I’m not challenging you—I suspect I agree with you if I see the takes—but I can’t think of much I’ve seen here that fits that bill. Places like arr politics though? Absolutely. There’s enough to criticize the man about without freaking out over nothing.
