I do not understand why it is that far right Republican fascists insist on accusations without evidence.

Fascists think that lying is a sign of strength. They're not bound by the truth like the rest of us are. They decide what reality is.

@sunsporter1649 She was wrong for that, but she wasn't lying.
This is a common tactic that Fascists use. When they're called out on their lies, they'll use a whataboutism in which someone else was wrong about something.
Compare this to Trump downplaying the virus. This wasn't just him being wrong, this was him lying, which we know because he was recorded admitting that he was purposely downplaying it.
@BohemianBoo Yes, In particular, this racist Muscovy duck with whom you are debating.

Tactics. As psychotic as some of them truly are, most can touch reality just enough to understand they're back is in the corner. So, in the absence of truth they use any less reliable tool they can find. Strawmen, deflection, whataboutism, gaslighting and manipulation. And when that all fails, they have tantrums.

@Graylight Yes. Alhough I'm pretty sure they have tantrums when they're doing the rest of that stuff, too

@Patriot96 "I declassified them with my mind." That's a truth? You don't want to play this game if Trump's your chosen champion.

Federal agencies did, however, retrospectively determine that 100 emails contained information that should have been deemed classified at the time they were sent, including 65 emails deemed "Secret" and 22 deemed "Top Secret". An additional 2,093 emails were retroactively designated confidential by the State Department. And that was the conclusion.
Sources: Myers, Steven Lee (May 11, 2016). "Use of Unclassified Email Systems Not Limited to Clinton". The New York Times.
"22 Hillary Clinton Emails Dubbed Top Secret". NPR.
"State Dept completes Clinton email release, more than 52k out including 2,100 with info now deemed classified". U.S. News & World Report. February 29, 2016.

Trump faces at least 6 major legal cases. He has 37 or more indictments against him and more coming, any one of which could end his freedom. You can't sell this one; it stinks far too much.

Thanks to technology, lies can be spread to millions in a matter of seconds, before the truth has made its first keystroke.
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
Is that like manufacturing fake evidence like the Steele dossier
JSul3 · 70-79
@Patriot96 Go read the entire Mueller Report, then follow up with the GOP led, Senate Intel Report.

Go back and listen to Mitch McConnell, shortly after the J6 insurrection, standing at the podium of the Senate floor and stating that Donald Trump was responsible for the J6 attack on the capital.

Because all the evidence is against them, so lying is all they have

You really should find a good dictionary, not google
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Patriot96 Do you have a problem with the word fascist? You can find real-life examples of them. Care to play?
@Graylight He is like many of the far right, and thinks the word fascist means anything that his Dear Leader tells him it does.
Wiseacre · F
People are tolerating it..whatever they get away with.

@sunsporter1649 Yeah, so innocent that Bill Barr and the rest of the brigade fretted to censor the report and go in full obstruction and damage-control mode over it. Totally the behavior of someone who's clean /s

It's just that you're likely too old to see the day, but I wouldn't be surprised if 30 years from now we'll learn from a FOIA request that Putin de facto governed throughout 2016-2020.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Elessar Yup, that's why all those demonocrats were arrested and jailed, right?
@sunsporter1649 I shall thank you to fix your comment. I have not insulted you in this thread.

Overlap with religion means they believe anything without evidence. To them evidence is proof that something ISN'T true.
