But what's the message? There hasn't been a single, rational proposal for discussing the tragedy that is the LA fires. It's 100% gaslighting and regurgitation of far right sound bites.
The far-right posters on this board seem to have already cemented their narrative, reinforced by an authoritarian-leaning Trump and a biased media that plays out 24/7 (see clip below). They scour the internet with deliberate intent, cherry-picking information to support their preconceived notions.
I made an effort to engage rationally: "Okay, I see your claim. Let’s take the time to verify or debunk it. [I read through the budget.] Well, I didn’t find anything to support your assertion. What evidence have you found?"
The response? Predictable: "Blah blah, DEI this, DEI that," followed by endless deflection.
