The Top 7 Hoaxes that shaped modern America

1. Fine People Hoax
2. Drinking Bleach Hoax
3. Russian Collusion Hoax
4. Jan6 was an insurrection
5. Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd
6. Shadow banning isn’t real
7. Climate models predict the future

The complete list includes dozens of hoaxes perpetrated on the American public, but these seven had the most severe impact.

This is a subset of 'We must trust the science.'
Another subset is Covid Vaccines.

All confirmed hoaxes still believed by the Jim Jones crew.

It's hard to believe after all this time mentally fragile/challenged Dims still think Trump was advocating for white supremacy with his, "There were/are fine people on both sides", the bleach drinking statement was pretty strange but I'm guessing Trump was either joking or trying to use his limited scientific knowledge of using bleach to kill germs.

1. Fine People Hoax


Biden centered his whole campaign on it and no one in the media called him out on it. It was sick. Trump literally says the whole situation in like three sentences and it is 100% opposite of their characterization. They took out the words fine people and said he was calling white supremacist and Nazis fine people and supported them.

That tactic by the Biden campaign should have buried his candidacy.

Hands up don't shoot.

That lie eventually led to the execution of several police officers in Dallas and baton rouge. After that lie, the media kept escalating the outrage porn of future police shootings, until leftists started frothing at the mouth and believing they needed to take matters into their own hands.

Now number 8 is Trump wants to be a dictator.

No, he only wants to close the board and drill, drill, drill on his first day in office.

A whole bunch of Covid ones missing, but that’s to be expected from a guy who laid down and bought it all.

I've got my own list:

Covid & wearing masks: the gift from China & big Pharma that keeps on giving, forever
Global Warming: We're an eruption away from globing cooling. It's freezing out now.,
Green Energy: No such thing, Making batteries is dirtier than burning tires.
Electric Cars: Call me when I can charge around the corner & batteries don't cost 20K
Fair Elections: Any Democrats reading this? Self Explanatory!
Big Bang: 13.8 billion years ago, lets get real! Where's the evidence? Scientist said.......!
Joe Biden: He lives in the "lost & found", poops in bed everyday and likes to lick little girls, he is the poster child of a Hoax President.
