All the times people got played because their hatred overwhelmed their good senses
Help me compile a list of the times people willingly got played because their hatred of Trump overwhelmed their sense of reason. I'll update this first post with all the answers.
1) Original claim: It is 100% without a doubt impossible for the Wuhan flu to have escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China.
Now: It is entirely possible the Wuhan flu escaped from a lab in Wuhan China.
2) Original claim: Russia was offering bounties for US soldiers, Trump knew about it but did nothing since he was Putin's puppet.
Now: Even the Biden administration said the claim was bullshit.
3) Original claim: Trump was keeping kids in cages! Here is photographic proof!
Now (well almost immediately afterwards): The photos were actually when Obama and Biden were shoving kids in cages as fast as they could.
4) Original claim: It was a violent insurrection! A cop was murdered by someone throwing a extinguisher at his head!
Now: The cop had no signs of blunt force trauma to the head and likely died of natural causes, almost each and every single crime people were charged with basically amounted to trespassing or being in a restricted area, and a few people were charged with assault.
5) Original claim: OMG! Russia and Trump conspired to steal the 2016 election!!!1
Now: Not only was the original claim bullshit but you can NEVER question the results of a presidential election or else you're a racist who hates democracy and loves conspiracy theories.
6) Original claim: No way we can produce a vaccine by the end of 2020! Trump is a liar face!!11
Now: The vaccine indeed was ready to roll out in 2020.
7) Original claim: Don't trust the vaccine! The CDC can't be trusted under Trump!
Now: Trust the vaccine! If you don't trust the vaccine you're a conspiracy theorist and a racist and want to kill people!!11
8)Original claim: OMG! Trump hates brown immigrants! Biden is going to welcome everyone who wants to come to America!
Now: Harris to would be immigrants: "Do not come, do not come."

Quote:
"I want to emphasize that the goal of our work is to help Guatemalans find hope at home. At the same time I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States Mexico border: Do not come, do not come," Harris said.
9) Original claim: Trump used the National Guard to clear out peaceful protesters who were innocently burning down a church!
Now: Oh yeah, turns out Trump had nothing to do with the protesters being cleared out.
10) Original claim: ZOMG! Trump wants to militarize space with the Space Force! He wants to send marines into space armed with laser weapons to do battle with the Chinese!
Now (well really shortly afterward to anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together): Turns out the Space Force was mostly just a military reorganization and no new duties were given to the Space Force.
11) Original claim: LOL! Trump designed the Space Force's logo after the Star Trek logo! LOL LOL LOL LOL!
Now: Oh yeah, we're so dumb we didn't realize that the Star Trek logo was modeled after the Space Force logo that existed first.
12) Democrats fall for claim that left-wing militia was really a right-wing militia that turned out to probably be an FBI setup so they could make more arrests and secure promotions.
