But I don't think our fellow posters are knowingly lying. I think they have just seen and heard the lies repeated so many times they truly believe the cities were leveled. Like the fraudulent votes. there was no Jan 6 and on and on. I believe they truly believe. Fox News and the RWNM knows they are lying, but probably not most of the RW posters we deal with on a daily basis.Indeed, we all have, pictures of burnt bricks after some conflagration are ubiquitous in much of the media. Be it an accidental gas explosion, or arson. It is a go-to easy photo opp.
But.....but 'smoking rubble' of a Rexall Drugstore, or even smoking rubble of Sol's Liquors.....ain't the same as a destroyed city.
Words mean things. Words have meaning.
