I don't think the audience Vance's message is supposed to resonate with cares about being fact-checked, or facts in general.

Trump doesn't care if he's being fact-checked because facts don't matter to him, and his voters have the same outlook.

It actually makes sense as a campaigning song to me as long as your platform is about trying to address the social problems the song is highlighting.

What if there were voice chat channels you could join in a thread to discuss posts? The idea would be to give people a richer way of communicating instead of just typing comments and replies.

Update: I just realized what I really wanted was to have a conversation, so I'm going to get off the internet and actually go talk to people in the real world.

I have a hard time feeling bad for anyone that loses money while trying to make money selling merch for politicians.

Viewing campaigning as an opportunity to profit through business is hella late stage capitalism in the worst way.

Okay, I did some stretches and I feel warmed up.

My biggest complaint is that the answer to the question "So, we are forced to spend time and money on fighting crooked Joe Biden?" is "no".

He wasn't forced to fight Joe Biden. Instead of attacking Joe he could've focused on extolling his own virtues.

I feel like reacting this way indicates that he doesn't see himself as a candidate worthy of winning the election on his own merit.

lol, I feel like my brain is going to explode if I try to wrap my head around the logic Trump is using to get to this conclusion.

Empathy is a hell of a drug.

They definitely abandoned the "do one thing well" philosophy.

The joke was also explained in the title of the post "A Very Emphatic Answer" which highlights the exclamation mark (emphasis) on the answer as being important.

Sounds like someone needs psychiatric help.

Things like this do a good job of showing why regular “dumb” search engines will continue to be relevant for finding referenced knowledge.
