As everyone knows, the news media knows what's best for us and they always tell the truth. The only problem is that they use really big and complicated words that we simple folk just don't understand. How will you ever keep up? Well, don't worry! We prepared this special translation guide just for you, so the next time you're watching the news you'll be able to follow along!
1) "Debunked conspiracy theory" = a completely factual event that is 100% true and we don't like it
2) "This is dangerous misinformation" = we don't really agree with it but people are still sharing it
3) "Farm animal bacterial infection treatment" = penicillin
4) "Conservative panelist" = guy who once voted for Ronald Reagan, possibly by mistake
5) "Super-spreader event" = gatherings of people we don't like
6) "This is the end of democracy" = Trump said a thing
7) "Settled science" = a non-reviewed study by a possibly fictitious organization that just came out this morning
8) "Widespread outrage" = 3 people on Twitter got mad
9) "Racist statements" = literally means nothing
10) "Informal gathering of like-minded people that fosters a sense of camaraderie and community among friends and neighbors" = bread lines
11) "Zero" = anywhere from zero to several trillion
12) "Republicans pounce" = uh oh... a Democrat raped someone
13) "Mostly peaceful" = it was hyper-violent but we agree with it
14) "Racist dog whistle" = a super-secret whistle that only racists can hear and only we heard it
15) "Anonymous sources" = we totally made this up
16) "This is an apple" = this is a banana

"This is the end of democracy"
This is a big talking point with the Dems. I still get emails from OFA asking for money for whatever cause. They often emphasize that 'It's urgent to insure we do not lose our democracy.'
They never explain how electing GOP = end of democracy.

They use that projection tactic over and over. They are the ones actually threatening our democracy. In fact, they have already subverted it with the election steal

This may be their best work.

The BB is spot on that the loons on the left can't stand them.
I saw something from some fish-wrapper rag, I think the Atlantic, was bemoaning the BB.
I wish we could call out the left more, especially when they use phrases like 'common sense' laws.
