I started a social media project, which I’ve called “Idiot Detector”. So far, it is limited to instagram and I have no followers, but I’ll work on that.
The plan is to shame anyone who would vote republican. I know many people think “you catch more flies with honey” and there may be something to that, but I’ve tried discussing politics with right wingers for 15 years and they simply don’t accept facts. Shame may have an impact, though.
I’ve currently only put together a handful of these images, and I’m using a new photo program (gimp, where I’m better at photoshop but I lost my photoshop install). Maybe more talented artists can run with this idea if they think it can be helpful.
The graphics are simple enough and I’m hoping that by “guess what you are” with the account named “Idiot Detector” it’s not blatantly offensive to the dimwitted fascists that will seek to get the account banned but still gets the point across.
In the caption or comments I provide details to support the position I’m asserting.
I’ll attach the first handful of images and captions below to give an idea.
Trump lied 602 times in the debate, demonstrating that he's lost all connection to reality. #FelonTrump is NOT SANE.
Nearly the entire national debt is the result of republican policies, with all but 1 trillion accruing after reagan took office.
In that time, both Clinton and Obama greatly LOWERED THE DEFICIT they inherited from republicans. And policies cannot both reduce the deficit and add to the debt at the same time.
Republicans built our national debt, then whine about that debt only to get in power and make it WORSE.
#FelonTrump lied more than 30,000 times while doing a horrific job as president. If you believe anything he says, you're in history's dumbest cult.
Trump kisses Putin's ass, just like he kisses Xi's ass and kisses the ass of North Korea's dictator. Trump loves dictators. Trump hates democracy.
Trump took office during the longest streak of private sector job growth in US history (thanks Obama) and put us in recession in just 3 years, right before COVID hit us.
As bad as GWB was (reminder that GWB lost his election in 2000 against Gore, but was installed by the corrupt supreme court majority), it took GWB 7 years to put us into recession.
Fox is a foreign-owned propaganda network whose only purpose is to deceive its viewers. Fox started broadcasting lies and false narratives in the 90's, when the partisan divide (reality divide) exploded in the USA. Fox's viewers KNOW LESS THAN PEOPLE WHO DON'T WATCH NEWS AT ALL.
I’m not planning to join the corpse of twitter, or nazi-loving facebook (though this is on meta’s instagram). I don’t do tiktok or snapchat. My impact may not be much.
