Even more depressing when the two biggest liberal-leaning accounts not named Barack Obama (Acyn and Aaron) probably have as much visibility as they do mostly because they're not actually pushing liberal content, only sharing clips of Trump and other politicians (so they're not getting as throttled)

People being like, "But Venezuelans are happy about Maduro being gone!" have the memories of goldfish. IN 2003, the narrative was that Iraqis celebrated the U.S. invasion and capture of Saddam.
Whether they were happy or not, invading Iraq was still the wrong thing to do.
