View submission: Fear mongering Posts
You guys are blowing this way out of proportion. I literally just said in the post thar sharing your concerns is valid. Complaining about Trump’s agenda is not fear-mongering!!! Here is an example of what I was talking about

That example is in the minority of all the issues being brought up, honestly.
These sort of posts are outnumbered by misinformation favoring and hatred from the right by a decent amount, and the comments are a much bigger issue than posts anyway. And as others have said: it seems like posts that are anti-trump don't get to stay up forever, while bigotry and misinformation run rampant in comments.
I'd also love to be able to read what they said, because as I said elsewhere it does seem like a lot of this stuff comes true just a few days after reporting now. What was OP of that post saying exactly, does anyone know? With how things are going, they could have been right about efforts to invalidate passports of certain groups being underway. Like I'm waiting for more chaos with transgender people's passports and other legal paperwork, for example.
EDIT: Comments like this[1] are what I'm talking about. Would put the comment verbatim, but not repeating that hate. Basically said trans kids don't exist and is clearly bigoted while defending fascists. I tagged them there so maybe it will be deleted, but most comments like that aren't. Those are the issues, not these "fearmongering" posts.

Maybe you should make a politics megathread. That way everyone can vent about politics there

Can you provide 10 posts for examples instead of just one? It sounds like you have more than one, so go ahead and let more instances of fear mongering be known. You have provided a single example of misinformation, but there will be some for any period marked by distrust in a fascist government with an oligarch such as Musk accessing vast arrays of confidential information. If there is such a large “uptick,” please note more than just one example in support of your decision.

Can’t think of a single example of misinformation coming from the right?
No issue with the massive amount of misinformation about DEI?

Thank you. I'm glad the ones in power here understand a post like that is misinformation.

The cult will not listen to the facts. They think the orange man is worse than Hitler.
Do you have any idea how unhinged you have to be to not only say that but to type that out with a straight face.
