    You’re doing it wrong. You are supposed to cut and publish only parts where Kirk owns the libs

        If only. In the year 2025, it apparently captures hearts and minds. I know because Boomers send this heavily edited shit constantly.

          It teaches them the thought stopping cliches and mantras that they can use to “own” libs in drive by Facebook comments.

          I think about the classic creationist “if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” It’s not intended to be an actual question - you can try to explain that no, we didn’t “come from monkeys,” that we shared a common ancestor, etc… but they don’t care. It’s just supposed to be a quick catch phrase that lets you not think about the question anymore.

          That’s the whole point of all of these right wing “debaters.”

      The extensive attention to curation, editing, and deleting was the whole point of the manufactured reality being pushed.
