    I wasn’t referring to leftists falling for it.

    What I meant is that people on the left should be using these tactics against the same conservatives, because they’ve proven how gullible they are, to get them to do the opposite of what they’d normally do.

    Like getting them to buy electric vehicles because they saw something on Facebook that told them that liberals are actually claiming now that they’re worse for the environment than internal combustion.

    Or, because they’re so scientifically illiterate and incurious, we can convince them that bacteria and antibiotics are a liberal hoax so they go out of their way to give themselves life threatening bacterial infections.

    Like I said, someone smarter than me can figure it out…

    I guess corporations can do it much easier because they have basically endless resources.

      The problem is that leftists care about such petty things as “the truth” and “integrity”.
