    Someone’s political beliefs aren’t indicative of how well they can form an argument. People can misrepresent data regardless of their political leanings, this whole talking point in the comments is irrelevant.

      That perspective requires a wanton and purposeful ignorance of the right wing misinformation and disinformation campaigns of the last ten years.

      It’s only irrelevant if you want to act like the author isn’t part of a political group that frequently lies.

        The way you’re framing it seems disingenuous. You act like only people on the right lie and spread misinformation (and they do!). It feels like you’re making a childish jab at the right because you don’t like them.

        Left-wing people and right-wing people both lie to you plenty, because political leanings have nothing to do with it.

        I’m not claiming the piece itself is truthful, but you’ve got your head deep in the sand if you think the right wing is the only group lying to you, while the left & everyone else is truthful.

          You’re acting like I’m not talking about QAnon or MAGA types for some reason. Why?

          I’m not saying to dismiss anyone just because you politically disagree with them. I’m saying don’t trust a Nazi when he gives his opinion on Jews.

          I’m not saying only one side lies. I’m saying there’s a political contingent that only operates on lies, and this guy is with them.

          Stop trying to reduce the situation to talk about someone else. This is a QAnon type author writing falsities based on falsely interpreted data, not Noam Chomsky waffling on if something is a crime or not.
