She got half of Burgerland to think that everything they don’t like is Russian propaganda, that the evil Russians helped Trump steal the 2016 election, Russia Russia Russia, it’s the ultimate thought-terminating cliche now. And even in the face of cold, hard evidence to the contrary (ie: Mueller report, off the top of my head) Libs just stomp their feet and insist that it’s still RUSSIAAAAA!!!1

I guess Bill O’Riely would be the Republican equivalent of her, but his oafishness and toxic masculinity got the best of him and he ended up losing everything got a multi-million dollar severance package from Fox News and then faded into irrelevancy.

Seriously though, I can’t think of anybody that could rival Maddow in terms of how effectively she brainwashed tens of millions of Burgerlanders into believing an absolute, absurd fantasy. You can’t have anything that resembles a level-headed discussion with any Lib anymore, largely due to her influence (and others of course, but I feel like she’s the most prominent figure in this regard).

Can you think of anyone that could rival her impact? Who else would be in the same league of propagandists in this day?

EDIT: Obviously I forgot to mention Tucker Carlson, but he also got kicked off Fox lol

    I fully believe a significant amount of libs opposed the Iraq war because it was started by Bush Jr. If it was a Democrat they wouldn’t have been against it. Nevermind all the Dems that started it. GOP = bad, Dem = good, and for the parts that overlap, it’s bad if GOP is currently in charge and a necessary evil/tolerable inconvenience if the Dems are in charge.

        I’ve posted about that several times. It happened while I was in high school. It blew my mind to see the media let the DOD say that they didn’t do it on purpose but they also hadn’t done anything wrong in planning or executing the mission. It was an early radicalizing moment to see how I apparently didn’t deserve a coherent explanation for why this happened.
