The "Ben Garrison" cartoons showing calls to violence or reference people by religion or color are fabrications. These cartoons, which usually feature a comically enlarged "Ben Garrison" signature are actually made by his political opponents and are used to paint Mr. Garrison as an "extremist". These fake cartoons made it hard for Mr. Garrison to sue the ADL in 2020 because they have sullied his name. So keep in mind when you share one of these "Ben Garrison" fakes, you are ultimately reducing his legitimate reach and ability to attract new readers.
A similar tactic is used on Upgoat. Any time a message is posted that may generate legitimate discussion, the first "goats" who respond forum slide the post using endless racial and religious epithets and arguing among themselves. I'm fairly certain many "arguments" are actually all the same person with sock-puppets, using as much profanity and incendiary language as possible. Thus, the thread is derailed and loses legitimacy because it is now "extreme far-right rhetoric" that can be ignored... all beneficial messaging and call-to-action is lost among a sea of vitriol.

I prefer the fake Garrison cartoons. The reason is because they're honest.
The fake republican mainstream are hypocrites. "A good black man exists, lets have a party because we can make all black men just like me". That's the exact same abuse the liberals dish out to blacks and everyone else.
Accept people for what they are.
As for Trump worshipping israel and jews, that's just more hypocrisy and boot licking. Republicans support Trump because they're forced by the slightly more insane left.
There's nothing to do but vote against each other, giving the parties the total freedom of absolute dictatorship.
The nation keeps choosing burnt offerings. This or that, and does nothing itself. The USA has doomed itself by that.
The 2nd thing you said is employed everywhere on every platform, ive noticed. Sock puppets hijack top comment upvoting whatever the most out-of-context flamboyantly racist comment to top.
But it also has the reverse effect in that it causes some people to scratch beneath the surface.
Their short term gain of poisoning the well water, is outlived by a lifetime of noticing.
Therefore the jury is out on who is doing the sock puppeting.
Perhaps a third party who wants to see division.
Often organic dissent comes in small waves.
But when you see it done artificially and strategically, its blaringly obvious.
Edit: loser mentality is the most commonly upvoted comment

As for the Garrison files. Do you have some examples of fakes? Something we could go by to look out for?
