    I am wanting OP to post the source if they’re posting social media screenshots as the vast majority of people won’t verify the post. It’s also possible that a post gets deleted so providing a link lets folks use tools like way back machine to verify in the future. We should require this level of posts hygiene, especially during an election cycle. I’m trying to teach an OP to fish instead of just looking up the source for them.

    But to be clear, I am a dumbass for many other reasons.

    Thanks for the link. Posting a screenshot without a source is lazy and dangerous. It’s unlike that the majority of folks that upvoted this post did any due diligence? It’s more likely that they upvoted because it matched their existing beliefs which just sets this community up for manipulation. We need to do better, especially during an election.

    I’m not trying to be lazy, I’m calling OP out for being lazy. And granted I did not articulate that well at all in my “Source?” comment, so you were right to question my motives 👍

    I’m English born, grew up in Australia, and I am now a naturalized Canadian. If someone said they were British I wouldn’t think they were referring to ethnicity. The US has a unique and unhealthy perspective on ethnicity and race. I hope that a naturalized immigrant to the UK would consider themselves British.
