Leaving The Left, My #WalkAway Story

Exactly - in depends on the information whether or one should discard that information - not the source. Now stop committing this fallacy

 

Let us know when Trump and the rest of his base matures.

 

How do you know whether the info is true?

When it comes from the liberal media I assume its a like till proven otherwise

 

You mean when they turn lib?

This is not a Living Dead episode show where all the characters turn zombie till no one is left

 

I doubt any Repubs are "turning lib", but I imagine many have walked away from the immature dopes that are Trump and his base.

 

What I’ve Gained by Leaving the Republican Party
I’m more willing to listen to those I once thought didn’t have much to teach me.

Same way you know of any info is true - you check it out and use your intellect Just because information is coming from CNN or FOX both which engage in propaganda - does not mean the information is false. Each story stands or falls on its own merit. What is nonsense is claiming "that Story is from Fox - or RT" so it must be false. This is logical fallacy.

What thinking people do is get the story from both sides - something that rarely happens these days in our MSM or when they do pretend to be giving the other side they often commit the "Sin of Omission". This is one of the ways you know are MSM is a clown show.

 

One of the present-day agitprop campaigns linked to Putin’s hacker squads is the “WalkAway” hashtag.

The Huffington Post reported over the weekend that this troll attack is a counter-measure against the potential “blue wave” coming this fall, with the WalkAway hashtag intended to simulate real-world Democrats who have apparently chosen to leave the party due to its (try not to laugh) alleged intolerance and lack of civility. It’s a ludicrous concept, given the galactically more egregious incivility of Trump and his Red Hats, extending back at least three years and including a deadly terrorist attack in Charlottesville, among myriad other examples.

In any case, this "hashtag has been connected to Russian bots," according to the HuffPost report:

It has ranked as the third or fourth most popular Kremlin-linked hashtag for days, according to bot tracking by the Hamilton 68 site run by the bipartisan Alliance for Securing Democracy, which keeps tabs on Russian activity on the American internet.

Arc Digital has made the same connection in the “strikingly similar” tweets pushing a “familiar narrative” of Democratic “bullying.” Arc traced the campaign from a Facebook group in May and subsequent tweets whose traffic suddenly began to explode late last month.

As I write this, Hamilton 68 has ranked #WalkAway as the most tweeted hashtag in the last 48 hours.
