One cannot even begin to address the amount of misinformation that has come from the left since Trump has been elected.
This is why, however, people in general act with decorum. Trump and Musk are making themselves easy targets for this vitriol. Leaving people with absolutely no will to critically think about any of the claims levied against them.
In fact, any claim levied against them is welcomed ammunition. Any attempt to reduce this ammunition is considered support for the enemy.
During Trump's first administration people decried that we had begun living in a post-truth society. That accusation was made against the Trump supporters.
Now, during his second term, we truly live in a post truth society. Where in most cases the truth simply does not matter to most people. This division seems to run so deep I am afraid at what it means for our society.
One thing I've noticed is when Trump says something the left starts by denying it before using it themselves. Fake news was coined by Trump and now it's adopted by the left but they call it misinformation, and they even started the Trusted News Initiative during Covid to weaponize it. It's not lies, it's "misinformation", true, but wrong?
Confusing times and the only conclusion I can draw is that those in power are losing ground thanks to the internet and it makes them behave like this. Everyone in willful ignorance. Even otherwise clever people are acting bat-shit crazy as soon as Musk is mentioned, but a few years ago they would've bragged about getting a Tesla using their NFT profts.
