Wouldn’t it be nice if before posting one would “fact check” the facts before starting a thread and posting. So many untruths are posted here. ✅

@Naturesbeauty   It's kind of cowardly to post a message like yours with no reference to of what you speak.  You could tactfully correct the misinformation and state why you think it's wrong.  I always shudder when people start answering questions about Social Security.  Wow, talk about misinformation.

Or maybe not post about political figures that are lightning rods for controversy and whose fans don't take well to anything  posted negative about them.

Having a different opinion does not make you an "oppressor.". Just a person with a different point of view!

It is kind of unfair to make an accusation and not give the person(s) you are referring to a chance to defend themselves.

I'm afraid that without any kind of frame of reference, there's really nothing to say.

This isn't CNN.

Don't know what OP is referring to but some take anything they read online as fact and actually believe it so for them they think they are posting facts.  We all have done this at times throughout our lives about many things - some more than others.  That is why so many fall for scams.
