Recall that the whole "Trump is a demagogue who appeals to racist huwite supremacists" narrative exploded with the "Mexicans are rapists and murders" fake news. Before that they were just treating him like a clown. Previously the Obama birth certificate controversy had generated a few of those stories, but from my memory it was only places like MSNBC and NPR pushing a rayciss angle.
Then the third attack vector was the "he equivocated!" bullshit about the Unite the Right march, which mainly confirmed what some people already believed. Same with "it's a Muslim ban!'
I don't mention that for any particular reason. They would have found something to get at him with no matter what. Just pointing out how easy it is for the cathedral to latch on to the tiniest thing and use that to set the world against you. Nobody is immune.
That was the moment when I started taking him seriously. Not because of what he said, but the fact that I had actually watched that speech and remembered that he never said that. It got me thinking "if he's so bad, why do they have to lie about the bad things he does?" It basically cemented him as a threat to the establishment in my eyes.
Yeah lying about things like that gives a few cues. Either they are getting irrationally angry that they will just make up things to try and suppress it, or there is an organized campaign to spread disinformation for narrative control, or some amount of both.
DeSantis has his own lobby and he knows who pats his back, but he definitely got some people upset with this incident.
it was quite amused seeing the npc-update spread on my fav funny-image-site. all the leftie-bots started sharing the same screencap of an article showing how they totally helped those 50 illegals 'haha owned drumpftard' and everything.
was hilarious watching the right-extremist base of users relentlessly mocking them, some even deleted their accounts.
