I know it's fun to dunk on the asshole ruining our country, but I don't think we should be in the habit of sharing shopped images. That's what the extremists do, and then claim it's real. We have to be better than them. Plus, they'll use us distributing the memes as evidence of "Dems spreading fake news!"...
I didn't see where anyone claimed it was real in here. Did you?
Sure, but I'm here looking at the comments because I couldn't tell
Same, honestly posting something false without clearly stating it as such is... How fake news starts I guess?
Thats how you get pulled into the misinformation bubble.
Small things that you think are real or agree with, so you don't bother fact checking it at all.. and that becomes the first of many papercuts that leads to the echochamber.
