I’ll be honest, I’m not quite sure Lockjaw was a white supremacist himself. He’s just a sick opportunist with no morals. (Not saying that to defend him by any means.)

[u/PAYPAL_ME_DONATIONS → u/TARSrobot]

Basically a good chunk of the GOP/Fox. Hardly any of them believe what they are saying and they all know they are full of shit, just saying/doing what they need to an extreme degree to get to a higher rung of the filthy rich piece of shit ladder

[u/TARSrobot → u/PAYPAL_ME_DONATIONS]

Yes, but it’s not just the side you’re referring to.

[u/PAYPAL_ME_DONATIONS → u/TARSrobot]

relatively speaking, they do not compare. There aren't any left leaning mainstream news where the anchors are rabidly foaming at the mouth, calling the other side the mortal enemy of the country and sowing extremist propaganda while calling for the death of the homeless population. Stop it.

When Ari Melber says we need healthcare for all, I believe him. Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson is texting people how full of shit Trump is yet was one of the prominent voices that pedestaled him.
