The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Who is his audience when he tells lies like this? Like, who is agreeing with him? Even beyond how bonkers it is to say out loud, it also doesn’t benefit him to further alienate himself from the world, does it?

Crazy right wingers who go "Obviously we need to cut welfare so this genius doesn't have to pay taxes! Then one day I will be just as rich as him and be glad I didn't make people as rich as him and future-me pay taxes!"
