No one cares about Hunter Biden's laptop. I'm fully prepared to believe that Hunter Biden is a complete sleaze-ball, given non-partisan evidence. It makes no difference to my life or politics in general.
You are the one stuck in the echo chamber, my friend, and people on here used to talk about Don Jr. 100 times as much as I mention Hunter. I'm not asking you to care about Hunter Biden. This goes far beyond Hunter Biden. I'm asking you to care about election interference, American intelligence agents pushing a disinformation campaign which only served to shatter trust in the intelligence community for many, and censorship I'm not so sure you'd be ok with if it happened the other way around. If nearly every main stream media outlet and social media outlet were censoring true stories about Don Jr. or Ivanka, I think people here might just have a little something to say about that and might not like that world so much. But because you are in your echo chamber like you accuse me of, you just hear Hunter Biden's name and tune out, and cognitive dissonance makes you ignore the election interference and mass censorship aspects of this which are the most important and relevant.
And like I said, my post also was to speak to how easy it is to fool people by telling them something they want to hear and then throwing "intelligence officials say" behind those faulty claims. Will you fall for it next time? Did you fall for it with the Hunter story? Will you be more skeptical of the intelligence community like your name implies, or are you a skeptic in name only?
The forum since the Biden laptop story came out- "Haha funny conspiracy theory, Russian agent".
The forum after the story is set in stone.- "Stop clearing your name and showing that you were right. Only someone in a right wing echo chamber would care about clearing their name after being called wrong when they were totally correct all along. You taking the time to clear your name and take this victory lap only proves that you are living in a right wing echo chamber, so let's just ignore that we were wrong to say you were pushing conspiracy when we were actually the one pushing conspiracy theories from American intelligence officials. Let's stop talking about this... not because it's making me look bad or exposing the false claims I made that are now coming back to haunt me. It's because Hunter Biden is irrelevant. That's why we must stop talking about this."
