My favorite is when like PBS tweets out the Declaration of Independence on the 4th of July, and right-wing nutjobs accuse it of being un-American.

I had to look that up.

Here is what happened, the documents gets split into 5000 tweets. Twitter will randomly include one tweet in a feed and someone will respond. For example one person said what npr is calling to overthrow the government because the specific text has a reference to that.

Didn't see any unAmerican comments. Saw comments like tweeting 5000 tweets is a stupid thing to do.

Not sure if nutjob should be used in 2022 to label someone you disagree with as having mental issues. Mental illness is a serious issue and using it a weapon is not something to be casually used

Yeah, you're right I shouldn't say "nutjob," I should say "ignorant and unreasonable."

Why do people only to evidence that disproves their claims? Do you think no one will click?

I think you a few words there, but if you read that link and think the people who responded to NPR sound informed and reasonable, then you and I have very different definitions of those words.
