No, I have to disagree. What Trump said and how it was presented and interpreted meet my criteria for made up shit too.

Its time you "clorox" guys gave it a rest. If you actually believe that Trump meant you could inject bleach into your body then you are the dumbass, not Trump. Everyone misspeaks occasionally. It is an utter fool who keeps harping it.

You realize that if Democrats had their way, Gates would have had 90+% of his wealth taxed away and it would have been used to upgrade Obamaphones to iPhone 11s...

40% of Republicans and half of Fox News viewers believe this shit? Seems exaggerated, if the number were that high we would have seen some of the usual suspects here at least flirting with the idea.
But still, fucking hell.

Use covid-19 as a reason or excuse to track?
Or use the actual virus itself to track?
Is that ambiguity is meant to confuse the issue?
Lot's of people want to track everyone and they use the virus as an excuse to do this. And of course they want to use your obamapho, and the chips in it, to do this.
It's some nice ambiguous headline writing, it could inflame people for several different reasons.

We'd also see some of the usual suspects post the survey and sneer at at how crazy the right is.

Sorry - this is objectively bonkers.
Don’t feel the need to circle the wagons with these clowns.

Like mask protesters, i feel no need to circle wagons with people I have never personally met. As always, the fringe makes the news and produces the dopamine response in those whose bias that the other tribe is crazy has been confirmed. Include Nazis, KKK, etc in all that. We can agree it's crazy, we don't agree it's meaningful.

I would agree with you if the poll had indicated it was fringe. It seems more like the modal FoxNews watcher.
FWIW I have trouble believing the data myself.

Over the last three years how many people believed insane stuff about Trump that was proven wrong the following week and then virtually ignored by the media.
How can you be shocked by this. It’s the Rosetta Stone of your own tribe.

Jon, you're smarter than this. The Left believes Trump said to inject clorox, so you counter with "the right believes Gates is bringing on the mark of the beast, and attack Fox News viewers. To quote Joe Biden... "Come on, man!"
First, you should watch Fox News more yourself. It's the only news media you can trust these days. Second, no, the right doesn't believe Gates is 666.
I expect this kind of silly shit out of Ax, but you know better.

No I posted poll results. The only opining I did was to say that surely they are exaggerated.

You posted the results of a poll that didn't even pass your own sniff test. One might suspect a certain amount of tribalism was the tie breaker there for whether to post about it or not.

They're wildly exaggerated. You can make a poll say just about anything you want. All you have to do is word the question a certain way, then write a headline a certain way. Then people see what they want to see.

I just cannot understand the Gates haters. Here is a guy who has pledged his fortune and his life to the betterment of life here on earth. He has done immense good for possibly millions already.
I cannot imagine having that wealth and not doing that.
