Do you know why jokes and satire and meme bullshit has to have fact chects?
Because the you's on the right and the you's of the left do not live in reality where facts matter so when the you's of both sides spread bullshit online 18 hours a day for your bullshit narratives it fills the pool with swamp and swamp creatures and people that want to live in reality and have objective opinions based on critical thought have to wade through the weeds of dishonesty and conspiracy and confirmation bias to figure out if something was made up bullshit or not in a Trump world where exaggeration and fantasy often can't even match the reality of what's going on politically
quick can you fact check this one for me?

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a stunning, masterful move this week that's being called a fine example of "4D chess," President Trump announced a push for the decriminalization of homosexuality across the globe, immediately forcing his political opponents to bend over backward explaining why they actually disagree with the idea.
As soon as Trump announced the plan, liberal activists across the country began working overtime on editorials, opinion pieces, and tweets explaining why this move actually means that Trump hates LGBT people. They then carefully detailed why true progressives actually need to oppose the decriminalization of LGBT people and practices.
"See, decriminalizing homosexuality is actually bad," one thinkpiece in an LGBT magazine began, "because, well, mainly because Trump is calling for it now. But I will press on for the next 1,000 words trying to justify my sudden reversal on this issue. And if you don't finish reading it, well, you're part of the problem."
Lets go check it out....

Trump’s Plan to Decriminalize Homosexuality Is an Old Racist Tactic
...
The truth is, this is part of an old colonialist handbook. In her essay, “Can the Subaltern Speak?” postcolonial theorist Gayatri Spivak coined the term “White men saving brown women from brown men” to describe the racist, paternalistic process by which colonizing powers would decry the way men in power treated oppressed groups, like women, to justify attacking them. Spivak was referencing the British colonial agenda in India. But Grennell’s attack might be a case of white men trying to save brown gay men from brown straight men, to the same end.
Do you know why jokes and satire and meme bullshit has to have fact checks?
Because the you's on the right and the you's on the left live in a batshit insane reality where conspiracies are often true and truth is stranger than fiction and fictions are fact checked as true.
Because the media has gotten so insane that its leaped past self-parody.
