    The Astroturfing is strong here, does anyone actually believe that liberals are suddenly, with absolutely no warning, crawling over each other to mock his disabilities instead of his decisions, despite never having done so before?

    Obvious setup is obvious.

      C’mon, not every shit take on the internet is paid by Putin or whatever. If it was, I’d have enough money to do something else

      Nobody is atroturfing Lemmy, a small niche community of social rejects that have less impact on societal dynamics than NTFs

      I’m weary af of liberals accusing all opposition of being russian plants, but it kinda wouldn’t surprise me here. Maybe they’re just the loudest, but the last couple weeks the only liberals I’ve seen have been doing shit like that, saying pro Palestinian protesters are Russian plants that should be executed, that anyone critical of biden is worse than a trump voter, lots and lots of abusive, thoughtless, maga tier shit. If I were Russia and wanted to keep leftists from voting for biden I’d hire a bunch of people to act like that. I still think liberals are just quickly devolving into magats, but maybe if I just touch some grass it’ll be obvious that’s not the case

      Also liberals have always been bad for making fun of trump for being fat, this is completely within that wheelhouse, so I wouldn’t take it as evidence of a psyop or anything

        Trump being fat is fair game because he presents himself as being an ideal male specimen, surrounding himself (purchasing) beautiful women and running beauty pagents.

        Abbot isn’t claiming he’s a world class marathon runner.
