    ITT: How the right shifts goalposts and gaslights the left

    Everyone in this thread has been leftists asking you to not make us look bad by posting this kind of stuff when there’s no actual substance behind it.

      I hope that’s not the case, cause that’s even worse.

      @ShunkW says “I’m not seeing any sources” despite the Twitter handle where the receipts are available included in the image. They did no investigation, and they assume the pictured poster is making things up.

      I update the post-text with a direct link to the twitter post, which includes a link to where the removed footage was, and has further documentation of how outrageous this is, link the bill, current bill text, and quote a relevant passage.

      @ShunkW doubles down, pretends nothing has changed, and links an article that doesn’t validate anything they’ve claimed.

      Even you agree that @ShunkW has terrible reading comprehension. Maybe you should give this a second look, rather than backing someone who has demonstrated an alarming lack of media literacy.

      The text and changes to the bill is substantially outrageous, but the missing video implies there’s even more substance being buried.

        Just to be sure, your source for the government making exceptions for and siding with the KKK… Is a Twitter post with a removed video?

        Well I saw a Facebook post that had an interview that was taken down but that interview said otherwise.
