Sometimes I’ll just be like ‘you’re not a high school social studies teacher, you don’t need a works cited page. Either believe it or not.’ Other times I’ll point out their pattern of behavior and argument strategy before they even get to the final stage, where they say since it didn’t come from a reputable source it doesn’t count. They don’t seem to grasp all of their beliefs are being influenced by propaganda sources so of course any real news will seem strange to them. They’re interesting creatures.

A friend shared an NPR article that quoted a police press release (re: Garrett Foster). Press release states ‘It has now been confirmed by several witnesses that this individual with the assault rifle then began to raise the assault rifle toward Sgt. Perry.’ So I asked how that isn’t self defense? She said the self defense thing was a false narrative being spun...by the NPR article you shared?! I don’t understand. I thought this woman was intelligent. Sorry to go on so long, this has just been really bothering me...
