It’s really interesting to look on my Facebook feed. Majority of my connections from the Southeast are reposting propaganda and noncredible sources while my New England/West Coast/Midwest connections are reposting science. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">

I am down a rabbit hole of reading the comments on these posts from back East. Someone is literally citing their sources with YouTube videos. I can’t. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">

Someone cited an IRS article giving the details of the stimulus check and someone respond ‘fake news. Sheep’

Someone asked this guy if he’s ever filed taxes and he responded with ‘it’s been a couple years’ and is saying it’s for the best so the government can’t track him. I just want to know; why you getting so worried about a stimulus check when you haven’t filed to receive it? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">

Oy vey. And then he starts talking to himself. ‘Nothing is ever free’ ‘you’ll owe the government that $1200’ ‘Trump haters shouldn’t get it’ ‘taxes aren’t real and they’ll just take the money out of your bank account later’

Live look of my reaction while reading that thread:

And everyone wondered why I wanted to get out of that town. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏼‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging (medium light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging (medium light skin tone)">

UPDATE: the man has now unfriended all that opposed him and said he’ll be ‘cleaning out his friends list to get rid of the trash’. I really hope I make the cut. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤞🏼" title="Crossed fingers (medium light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Crossed fingers (medium light skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏🏼" title="Folded hands (medium light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands (medium light skin tone)">
