As Reagan liked to say: “Here we go again.”
The latest “cats chasing a laser pointer” event is about vote by mail.
From PolitiFact:
“After meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Aug. 15 in Alaska, Trump told Hannity that Putin said the 2020 U.S. presidential election was ‘rigged’ because of mail-in voting.”
Putin is manipulating Trump to sow distrust in US elections. It works because it plays to Trump’s ego.
This also helps distract Americans from what’s important, and the media is largely getting sucked in by it. Simply refuting the lies is not enough. Any news story that fails to point out what’s behind the current rhetoric is a disservice to the public.
