the breadth of misinformation is unreal. a woman next to us at dinner said she went to cuba when “trump opened the border” and her date said “best president ever.” obama did that!!! trump reversed it!!!
My friend from law school did the White House press briefing in Spanish for that one! It was a very big deal amongst all of us and he definitely worked for Obama and not Trump!
wut... fucking wut? How/why are people even like this? do they thing Trump was president before 2017?
Also you did mention they were from the Dominican Republic which afaik Cuba would be open to them regardless... it's basically only if US citizen where you can't
It's delusional to believe that information is used to inform a shared reality. Information is used to inform our preferred reality. And we gravitate toward those who agree. Whether we like it or not, that's the mechanic.
I think some want to vote for Trump so badly they’re misinforming themselves excuses? Bannon and his pals got Trump supporters to give them money to build the wall they insist Trump built. Reality is pretty malleable with them.
Eh-hmm, actually, I did that. My daughter and I snuck into Cuba for her golden birthday. Shortly thereafter, Obama announced he was normalizing relations. We were the advance team. 😉
And yet we got people literally demanding that we stop talking about Trump, as if not saying his name will somehow keep him from getting back into the White House.
I saw someone earlier who blamed Biden for overturning Roe vs Wade, and I've talked to a woman in the States who said she's stocking her pantry out of fear that BIDEN'S ANTIFA SUPPORTERS would cause violence if he loses.
It was right after the anniversary of January 6, and I was gobsmacked.
Was it a restaurant? Take credit for cooking their meals and when they look at you dumbfounded because you’ve been sitting next to them all that time, say “see how crazy you sound?”
Yesterday two of my neighbors told me not to go to the beach for july 4 bc crowds are a target for “them.” Apparently “they’re” also emptying in other countries and sending the patients here, which is why immigrants these days are “sex maniacs” and it’s not safe to leave our neighborhood
