    The conservative media keeps thier viewers in a closed loop. They will only consume media from their source as it reinstates their beliefs. My InLaws are always watching g Faux News, Oan, and News Max. They only read the grudge report. They never venture outside of those “sources”. I’m not sure if they believe the lies of kids going to school and getting g sex changes despite one of them retiring as a science teacher.

      I’m in the UK. I am a teacher. I know a teacher with school-age kids who believes that “there is a child in my neighbour’s school who thinks they are a cat and have a litter tray.”

      How can you falsify that?

        That is such a huge conspiracy that’s going around in every neighborhood.

        Every time I hear it I think, there’s no way the health department is letting kids shit out in the open in public in the back of a classroom. Even IF you can get around the whole “kids using the bathroom in public in front of teachers” thing that would 100% get someone put on an offender list.

          Yes. And when a teacher who knows that the institution we both work in does not have litter trays for cat children is believing this idea, you know that this belief is a matter of population-controlling gullibility.

          Anyway, as an autistic being who doesn’t relate to humanity, I respect neurodivergent people who identify as non-human. Humans should try to be better role models to fix that.

      How long would it take for a hypothetical curious Republican to be called a Nazi outside of their silo just for saying they consider themselves a Republican?
