Some of the hair on fire nuts assertions I have heard in the last week at physical therapy in Blue Hawaii.

Kamala Harris is a literal witch. Person said she saw a video of her being unspeakable to another person, screaming and etc, would have been able to share more but when I said 'excuse me but that is not true," she started screaming and yelling at me. It was so upsetting I had to leave the area and work elsewhere. Almost left my pt from this and how hard it was to unravel its consequences. For now I am scheduled when she won't be there.

A therapist was chatting with a client about how the dems are targeting the South with hurricanes

A client today said that Biden agreed to put the US economy in harms way for personal enrichment. He used a different word.

This is getting to them through targeted messaging using AI. at scale. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/how-disinformation-defined-the-2024-election-narrative/
In a situation where public confidence in news reporters is very low and new generative AI tools make it easy to create and disseminate fake pictures, videos, and narratives, the 2024 campaign was rife with organized efforts to sway voters, twist perceptions, and make people believe negative material about various candidates.
One video featured a Haitian man (although he was not really Haitian) saying he had just gotten to the United States and had voted in two counties—Gwinnett and Fulton—in Georgia, but it turned out to be a fake video made in Russia.
Polling data suggest that false claims affected how people saw the candidates, their views about leading issues such as the economy, immigration, and crime, and the way the news media covered the campaign.

They weren't watching expensive TV ads that the media buyers made juicy commissions from, they were in podcasts and chat rooms, and digital media where the bullies were absolutely everywhere, unanswered because we didn't even see their targeted bs but even if we did, who wants to draw fire from a hoard of bots and crazies?

Also because they are sealed off from yhe info we all know. When I tell them we have just handed over the keys to Russia and we have lost our alliances with England and Britain in Germany and Australia, and are now going to be allied with North Korea and Iran, Russia, and China. They look at me like I have lost my mind.

I’m just trying to breathe. I’m out here in the Pacific where Russian ships have snooped on the cables that connect us to everything we need now and we knew my whole life we had a target on our ass; I always thought we would have the US military on our side.

Very important observations. Thanks.

Exactly.

2. If a therapist is talking about Democrats controlling the weather, that therapist

doesn't have a good scientific knowledge base. A good scientific knowledge base is important for a physical therapist to have.

I'd talk to the management of the place about their employees and what they are saying. It would make me question their common sense and competence.

If the management is on board with what the therapist is saying, I'd run away from that clinic.
