Screenshot of r/Politics right now.
How do these people not realize they're off their rocker? Like, this is even a tame day for them, I'd think. Let's see what we've got...
Nancy Pelosi saying if they win, she'll break the law to release Trump's tax returns - she has no way of doing this legally that I'm aware of. Cool, cool.
Lifting up the NBA players who strike/boycott/give up their strike/boycott over the recent shooting. For some reason, they are comparing them to Jared Kushner. Weird.
Incoming VP candidate talking about how the RNC is designed to soothe Donald Trump's ego. Well, ok, VP is the attack dog, but dumb comment.
White supremacist militias have infiltrated police across the US? WHAT THE HELL, it's the woke who are in charge, if there were white supremacist militias things that have infiltrated the police, things would look very different. Even if they're going for stupid woke speech white supremacist, that generally just translates to "normal everyday Americans"
Oh, and a suggested treatment to the Coronavirus, suggested by Fuhrer Orange Man Bad Himself, increases chance of death by 27%...
I can't imagine that enough people believe this way in reality. This is just all the crazy people who believe the government controls them through the fillings in their teeth managing to get together and convince a few other people... Right?
Citizens are trying to get a recall election to remove Jenny Durkan, the Seattle Mayor.
“Jenny Durkan’s abuses of power, lack of foresight and failure to protect the public — and the peace — in Seattle leaves us with no choice,” said Elliott Harvey, the lead petitioner and the chair of the Committee to Recall Jenny Durkan. “This is exactly the kind of case a recall is intended to address.”
Sounds good, right? Anyone who was upset over CHAZ/CHOP, people being shot, killed, the arson, all that fun stuff would want to get rid of the Mayor who allowed it and referred to it as potentially being a "summer of love." Let us read a bit further...
The campaign was launched by “a Capitol Hill-based organization of students, losers, lovers, bartenders, writers, artists, and fundraisers with BIPOC management, Wheelchair users, Deaf organizers, and LGBTQIA representation,” according to the campaign’s website.
In her ruling, Roberts threw out six of the seven charges the petitioners brought against Durkan, leaving one accusing the mayor of allowing police to use weapon such as tear gas against protesters amid the pandemic.
So, sane, rational, every day citizens angry at the Mayor for the damage her leadership caused? Not so much. It's the progressive-types who want to remove her! As it says, the judge allowed the recall order to go through on only one of the charges - the Mayor allowed the police to use tear gas against the "protesters".
It's the left coming for her (as it does, the left eats it's own). But this is a more glaring example, as Ksahma Sawant is a politician there as well, and the group of people pushing for the Mayor to be removed are likely quite big fans of hers - after all, she wants full on socialism, destroy capitalism, blah blah blah. This is an internal leftist power struggle that could result in the current Mayor of Seattle being ousted (as she should be) but only to be replaced with something worse. Plenty of right-wing people will want to vote her out as well and sign the petition.

The overlay of Yuri Bezmenov explaining what's going on with the celebrity PSA "I Take Responsibility" is so spot on and accurate that it can penetrate past the sheer levels of polarization at least to some people. As well as the point where he discusses the academics and civil rights advocates and turning groups against each other on issues like race, and age with their corresponding overlays.
That is not to say that everyone will jump aboard on watching. Many don't, they'll quickly jump to conspiracy theory and similar name calling - but I have had success in at least reaching through to some people with this - and more importantly, having this kind of conversation on social media platforms is more important because there are way more people watching the conversation, clicking on the video and forming their own idea, i.e: you're not just speaking to one person and having a dialogue, but many are watching and paying attention as well.
