This debate is a prime example of how profoundly we are ill equipped to deal w/the rise of authoritarianism.
Letting blatant lies fly.
Doing nothing to follow up on lies & ignoring questions.
Normal rules don't apply.
We need to think--CLEARLY--about the best ways to clear the air & support truth.
@jaketapper.bsky.social You realize this is half your fault. You realize that, right? You already know this is how fascism rises, and you’re just gonna let it fly?
