For those who are wondering if this picture is real or not, I couldn't say. But I have seen a fair share of misspellings and bad grammar written on trucks about similar sentiments in Nevada (seeing where the license in the picture belongs to). The take away of this is that usually there is a correlation between education and conspiracies (believing in misinformation), and it's a very real, serious issue in this country.
Wait. You mean to tell me that giving kids terrible educations…makes them more susceptible to being stupid assholes?
Somebody should let the GOP know so they stop trying to defund education! Surely they wouldn't want entire generations of people growing up to be ignorant, conspiracy believing assholes with no critical thinking skills!
More specifically, we don't really teach source analysis in a lot of schools anymore. I've run into college students who have no idea of how to discern that a source is bullshit - especially if the site or source looks well-polished and sounds like it knows what it's talking about. Even a lot of Q people have figured out that the best way to draw people in is to look and sound professional, not just ranting into a camera in your truck cabin - you need a nice backdrop, and probably a polo shirt at minimum.
Right!?
When Republicans were initially investingating the 2020 election in Georgia, they called in a "forensic imaging specialist" who said that they would be able to determine which ballots were fabricated. I got a lot of flack for questioning the guy's credentials online, but literally his biggest accomplishment in life was inventing a crappy barcode scanner shaped like a cat, and it was a huge flop.
r/conservative was adamant that this dunce was going to overturn the election in Georgia...
