Dumb? I thought so too, then I reread their comment and looked at their post history. Not by a long shot, they know exactly what they’re doing. From their first comment posted 8 hours ago: “I’m a moderate that a lot of people confuse for a conservative.”
It’s textbook conservative propaganda: pose as a “moderate” with a “fair and balanced” opinion, paint the Rs as misunderstood, and poison the well with a straw man argument. I mean, really, the idea of trying to “shut down the war machine” has nothing to do at all with people’s fears of what another Trump presidency would bring. That’s a straw man argument. It’s absolute horse shit.
In other words, just more bad faith acting from a minority party that relies on deception to make it look like they have more than 35% support nationwide. Next they’ll say “Why are all crimes committed by black people? Just asking questions.”

Ah, the Tim Pool strat.

So I took a peek based on this comment and you are surely correct.
My GP is booking 2 months in advance these days, and my only alternatives are doctors with such heavy foreign accents I can barely understand them. It’s only going to get worse with mass immigration.
Yeesh.
Downvote away, but your last sentence is exactly what you’re making an accusation of, bad faith and strawman.
Ok, you know what? I agree. You’re right, it was really presumptuous and hypocritical to say that. And disproportionately hostile. But if I had left out that last sentence, what would your reaction be? Would you have agreed, or would you have claimed it was not propaganda and that the dude was not acting in bad faith?
