    I’m really tired of the “Noted bigot and/or idiot said something different than they usually do, that anybody with more than two braincells already knew!” headlines, and I resent them being posted on any community as “legitimate” news. It’s bullshit. Their comments are bullshit. They’re still the same bigoted idiot they were yesterday. This isn’t useful information. At best it’s ragebait, but it’s more often just enabling/normalizing their shit behavior.

      People regularly complain about cognitive bias and refusal to accept new facts and change your mind and then when someone does, yall say shit like this. Joe influences millions of people and him coming to the right side of history should be appreciated.

        “Coming to the right side of history”. He’s spewing the same conspiracy bullshit he always has and always will. Any pattern will match with others at various points. It doesn’t mean it’s suddenly a different pattern.
