Let’s all familiarize ourselves with how conspiracy theories start. Some types of politicians embrace this type of twisted messaging.

Their particular brand of ideology is dying, so they try to convince you elections are being stolen or that up is down. They lean into extremism.
Never in my life did I think we would see a situation where we need to fight against this kind of garbage.

But here we are.

They play with people’s emotions without care for the pain they cause. And the inevitable violence.

The saddest thing is they think people are stupid.

They feel like they are the puppeteers, that they are smart because they can anger folks or make them afraid.

It’s absolutely disgusting to have such disdain for the people.
To combat this:

1. Share the information

2. Call out dishonest messaging whenever you see it

3. Keep your spirits up. There are many methods of intimidation, fear, & exhaustion these folks use to chase you away.

4. Stay cool. They will try to make you angry so they look calm.
5. They will accuse others of the poor behaviour they are themselves engaged in.

6. They will gaslight you.

7. They will pretend ignorance of their own poor behaviour.

8. They will say they were joking or ‘just asking questions’

And so on. All the cheapest tricks in the book.
