The worst part is that Republicans unironically believe that these are all paid actors.

Are you thinking of Andrew Yang? Bernie doesn't support UBI.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 30 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's a joke; I was saying that by giving people a cushy job such as attending his rallies all over the country he'd be basically implementing UBI.

Ah, I just misunderstood.

Cranberry juice bro. Feel the burn.

No, that’s UTI. What you’re thinking of is the common abbreviation for the biggest college in the smallest US state.

Digging into who is actually paying them is a fun road to go down as well. They can't answer. When the democrats were in charge, they'd be paid for by the government!

Now that Trump is in charge, they can't say that anymore! So they'll move onto another scapegoat such as Bill Gates, or NASA (and ignore that NASA gets funds from the government).

I don't think facts or lack of evidence has ever gotten in their way before. They will just say it's George Soros. Or they will point to fake craigslist posts which can be created by anyone.

Even then, I feel like you could just say "Oh, great, so now that Trump's in charge, he can investigate George Soros' finances, right?"

They can say George Soros or Bill Gates, pretty common namedrops on conservative media.
