    What’s it called when people do this?

    Trying to shut down reasonable voices by attacking and then saying that type of comment is going to affect how they vote ?

    This feels fake as hell and I see it constantly now.

    Am I the only one who thinks statements like this are just attempts at keeping reasonable people from speaking up?

      It is fake as hell, or at least used to be. It used to just be Russian trolls but sadly, real Americans saw it enough that they began to think it was a common stance… so then Americans actually started adopting that stance.

        I prefer to think people aren’t this dumb and it’s all still trolls. That’s my hope at least.
