'Coalition Of Reality' Needed To Combat Conspiracy Theories, Says Writer | Morning Joe | MSNBC
… and abolish the Amplitude of Ignorance. ✨
its very important, key even, to realize that sometimes, when faced with conspiratorial elements, adopting a ” jujitsu” motion of using the afflicted ‘s own energy to turn things, in this case, to movr FURTHER into the theories in order to reveal their absurdities. This is an incredibly potent tool, and will prove to be of broad use in a varity of situations, from the personal to the global.
The digital revolution that was touted as the great saviour of democracy has been an utter failure. When the Fairness Doctrine was discarded, the barn door was flung wide open. You can thank Reagan for that.
Flush Rush.

oh yes
@An Trinh The irony here of this bot…
I seen the whole conspiracy theory thing happening a few years ago when people I thought had brains were defending David Icke at parties. This is what happens when you have a hand held device that pumps you full of easy solutions for your crappy life. They find it exciting to find meanings in things that don’t exist. It’s absolutely shocking what recent events have shown.
@Fish to Lizard -When people rely on phones and computers to show them which way is up then it’s a problem too. Of course it’s the dingbats defective cognitions that eat up that info with a spoon, but technology is helping more and more people spread disinformation right and left.
@Fish to Lizard Smart phones, smart bombs, dumb kids. Priorities may have been a little off.
And it’s none of your business or MSDNC’S either !
@Pretty Good Lookin -Says who?
@Genesis Omega says Manners !
Q-anon dummies are in the comment section saying that non members are brainwashed- 🤪
my response to that lot of paint huffers is 4Q!
I wonder if Q sent them to tell us that we are all sheep and where they go one they go all. 🤔
🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐕
That Q is a comic genius tbf. 😂
oh, the irony of it all…
Then I hope to stay brainwashed. This QANON nonsense is getting old.
QAnon doesn’t even exist. There’s Q and there is Anon. They are not the same thing.
Trump is suing the Devil. He sold him his soul and Biden still won the Election.
Very true. L’chaim from Jacova born March 11…in Bethlehem. 5 decades ago.
Good for Trump that he was able to trick the Devil because he never even had a soul to begin with ;P
Mass Delusion.
When you elect a reality show star president you have already lost contact with reality. How could you not know Trump was just a money driven con man? He was just trying to boost his brand. Look what you have done – you have ruined our country.
What a laugh! Trump got more done in 4 years than Obama did in 8!!! He brought 6 Arab countries into a new peace accord with Israel! He re-built the military that Obama/Biden decimated! He defeated ISIS that Obama let grow to the size of a U.S. state! He gave us a tax cut (Democrats gave us hard-working taxpayers nothing!)! He gave us record high 401-Ks! He gave us energy independence that brought gas prices down to $2 a gallon! He helped veterans and gave them doctor choice! He did prison reform (Obama didn’t!)! He stopped Russia’s aggression by arming Ukraine (Obama refused to do that!)! He got NATO countries to pony up and save the U.S. taxpayers billions! He built the wall and stopped the flood of illegals who were draining our public resources! *HE GAVE US A VACCINE IN LESS THAN A YEAR!!!* Does anyone really think Joe Biden could have done that? He can’t even recite the Pledge of Allegiance!!! I’ve seen the video.
@Paul Russian troll alert.
@Paul defend the injecting disinfectant quagmire
@Paul Whatever Trump may have accomplished during his administration was negated by what he did leading up to and including January 6.
@Paul Trump created delusional idiots that post nonsense in the YouTube comment section. TRUTH! with PROOF!
People have been brainwashed, not able to think for themselves.

oh yes
Belief Is the Problem. It isn’t innocent anymore than necessary. Lies require belief. The Truth? …just needs our attention and participation.
turning neighbor against neighbor is how the Nazis came to power.
@Joseph Stanhope yin your post it sounded like you mentioned tipurning people in. If I misread it I’m sorry
@Emily Curewitz S’all good, sorry I accused you of defending Nazis
@Joseph Stanhope it’s ok. Misunderstandings happen
The Dems are the Nazis ! ( if anyone is….which they aren’t ).
@Pretty Good Lookin You know that writing things in ALL CAPS doesn’t make them true, right?
Coming up with a whole lot of reasons for people sincerely believing stupid things other than the obvious
They’re stupid
Yes, they are among the stupidest humans who have ever lived. No excuses for falling for this nonsense.
Here, here, finally an adult in the room! Everyone who continues lying to the public, needs to be held accountable! Punto!!!
☝️
Don Lemon is the biggest offender.
I’m so glad Dominion is doing this. Shedding light on these Trump conspirators is paramount to the country’s return to honesty & integrity.
Sad it took private companies to expose this rather than our own government. Smartmatic sued Fox and Newsmax so they aired retractions but not publicized well enough to help.
I’m glad someone is doing it. The trump regime needs to be held accountable
Real facts, Actual science. undisputable realities, not alternates.
Yes. You’re the logical, objective and fact based person. But you have omitted those persons whose egos will not allow them to admit that they are wrong. So they try to avoid or skirt around the obvious.
True true true true 💯
Essentially one-third of the American electorate has been brainwashed by right-wing propaganda. Seriously, Goebbels would’ve been proud.
absolutely brilliant!!! we need SO MUCH MORE of this in all media at every level
So what Adam Savage said in jest, they take to heart: “I reject your reality and substitute my own!”
I wonder if he is regretting that quote now
The pursuit of the truth where it matters for a stable and fair society: science, judiciary system, and media.
I miss having Mika host this show. Joe talks just to hear himself talk….
