Liberals are going “um, actually” over the full quote saying that she believes some of it is organic but Russia is using disinformation to take advantage of the situation.

Basically saying Russia has a hand in it growing because Putin is trying to distract from Ukraine. This is what I hear liberals saying.

It’s pretty wild how I used to be somewhat credulous with libs because they seemed intelligent. More time passes and you begin to see how stupid most of them actually are compared to how they think they come across.

While some suggest that the earth's day-night cycle is an apolitical scientific phenomenon, we need the intelligence community to look into credible reports that Putin is taking advantage of predictable periods of light and darkness to undermine US strategic interests.

I can really see that happening somewhere along the empire fall line: "Our energy infrastructure is not crumbling, i repeat, it's not crumbling. We purposefully turn off electricity at random points for random intervals taking as much as few weeks to get back on to make it harder for the Russian spies to subvert our glorious nation of freedom!"

They're people who have invested all their energy into $40 words and sounding "academic" when they speak to give off the impression of intelligence, without actually bothering to learn any of the information that would actually be relevant to a topic.

It's why when they talk at each other it just sounds like two wikipedia articles being copy-pasted back and forth.
