@tatzelbrumm What they lack in hypocrisy they make up for with ignorance and conspiracy theories.

@freemo Ignorance and conspiracy theories is for their stormtroopers.
The masterminds use the Big Lie, like good old Joe Goebbels.

In contrast, the Democrats seem to believe their own lies.

@tatzelbrumm I am more than confident the vast majority of republicans full heatedly believe their own lies.

@freemo If you want to find the creators of the big lies, follow the money.
That's very inequally distributed, and the guys who grab all the money are the ones who create the lies. The vast majority gets screwed over by them.

@tatzelbrumm I'm less concerned with who creates the lies as I am that the vast majority of republicans believe the lies to the point of being incapable of rational science on any level. The democrats have plenty of issues ad lies but at least they remain somewhat in the world of reality when politics arent the center focus.

@freemo It takes a lot of pushing (notably, into the "basket of deplorables") for people to conclude rationally that they have nothing to gain from taking part in the officially promulgated reality.
Recently, I have behaved in Social Media like a rabid antivaxxer, except that I expressed my rage against the system by getting myself a COVID booster shot BEFORE German bueraucrats thought it was legal for me to get one.

@tatzelbrumm I got my vacine but gave a fake name.

@freemo Technical question to the admin: How many pictures can I attach to one post?

@tatzelbrumm up to 4 but id like to raise the limit.

@freemo Well, two pictures worked, apparently. Good.

@freemo
Anyhow, did you figure out how I embarrassed the local authorities to consider my illegal vaccination "to protect my immediate neighborhood" legit ex post facto?

@freemo I got my vaccine under my real name by "forgetting" my vaccination passport, and then I dropped my next door neighbor's name for Fighting City Hall, i.e., relentlessly TROLLING¹⁹⁹⁵ my mayor, Boris Palmer.

should be good enough for Google Translate to make sense of the German.

At least, it's for a Nobel cause, which you'll understand once you track down the scientific background of my TROLLING.

Neither Republicans nor Democrats can beat me in the art of hypocrisy.

I have learned that anyone who holds office in Congress&Senate spends at least 25 hours a week fundraising.

In fact I am a life-time card carrying member of the Hypocrite Party.
