...even without dragging garland for clicks.

The article reads like the rantings of a crazy person, albeit, likely getting some things right, like all gaslighting trolls make certain they include in their ranting.

You can't get even a handful of support for reality here, but this conspiratorial shit sells like it's going out of style. Wish it was.

Old enough to remember when it used to be taken down here. Dime to dozen the substack author is anti-Democratic party.

What expertise does the author have or assert to make these claims? All I see is a substack posts, and who the hell is Will Hold, anyway?

Do folks even check their sources for this shit anymore?
