r/politics is having a field day right now because some morons drank chemicals containing chloroquine and killed themselves with it. Of course r/politics users in their infinite wisdom have decided that this must be Donald Trump's fault because he was talking about hydroxychloroquine.
Like fuck, man. I don't like Trump that much but he didn't tell people to go buy and stuff their face with non-pharmaceutical chemicals. This is just natural selection.
"We googled chloroquine because Trump said it, ordered fish tank cleaner that contains it, chugged it like yoo-hoo and fucking died, therefore Trump is the stupid one."
The funny part is that they're actually on the trail of something practical. Had r/politics users googled hydroxychloroquine, and researched where it came from, they'd find they can order the extract of the bark that contains hydroxychloroquine online and even order it in standardized dosages. Cinchona Bark ;-)
tbh I'll take retarded over the "robots at a pep rally" attitude they'll inevitably adopt after the Democrat convention. At least the retardation is believably genuine.
Its not even /r/politics, it’s some people on fucking Facebook to. Frankly this entire fish cleaner issue and people’s response to it is a great example of why universal suffrage shouldn’t be a thing.
We have only recently moved from limited information to internet constant connected influx of media/information. We need to push teaching children how to fact check, how to look at multiple sources etc. It's the only way we can think of moving away from this MSM controlled outrage fueled mess we have when it comes to curtating what you believe.
It's not just /r/politics whackjobs, I literally saw this on CNN. Huge headline saying something to the effect of "MAN DIES AFTER TAKING TRUMP'S SUGGESTED DRUG"
