    Agreed.

    The funniest part is that trump's lies were so obvious that they didn't even need to be fact checked lmao

      It's basically just for libs to congratulate themselves. I'm absolutely certain not a soul on this Earth has ever been swayed from one politician to another by a fact check.

        You underestimate the neoliberal desire to conform to the narrative.

        I guess that’s not really “swayed” so much as just incorporating the new truth regardless of whatever the old truth was

          Yeah, like maybe you'll get people switching from Mayo Pete to Kamala Harris or vice versa after reading a fact check article on some minutia, but they are basically the same politician.

        Yep ime people just dig in their heels if you try to point out how something they believe isn't factual

        one of my favorite people to imagine is a liberal guy who is surrounded by qanon people so he has passively absorbed a lot of that stuff but thinks it's bad. like he believes that tom hanks and hillary were hanged at gitmo but is really sad about it

      And they still managed to make their "fact-checking" about liberal ideological talking points rather than verifiable facts.
