    I’m not saying “the whole both sides thing” the way you are obviously reading that. I’m saying that if you look into individual convictions, you will find people on both sides. And I don’t have a source, I’m a ding dong at work. I’m only parroting something I read once a while ago. I’d be happy to abandon this hill. I had no idea I was throwing a gauntlet. I thought I was participating in a conversation.

    And thanks for the link, I’ll check it out.

        I guess I’m confused. Firstly, I don’t understand why you’re so adversarial. Did I say something offensive? I was trying to be helpful in supporting your theory. Maybe you could find a pattern out of what we already can confirm, who knows? Second, I didn’t dispute anything you said, and I didn’t make any claims that a tertiary search can’t at least be relatively consistent with. If you search election fraud convictions there are several articles reporting on just that. Heritage has a report out covering the last 20 years. So what did I say that was so erroneous that you think I should have “fact-checked”?

          You are confused I think you thought the person you replied to was me lol. That said they have a good point of we should all try to fact check stuff before repeating stuff we heard just to make sure we aren’t contributing to misinformation. (Not at you just generally good advice)

          Look man I do apologize because I was not as clear as I should have been and I think that came across a lot more judgemental than the playful tone I was aiming for. I meant since you mentioned both sides when I was only discussing one specific election with foreign government interference I was showing a link to what I meant and like, idk maybe you actually had something or I misunderstood you.

          I noticed a lot more antagonizing comments on posts lately though, like everyone is trying to totally pwn someone, so I can understand how some of us may be quicker to expect that motivation. Hope you have a good day
