Tough day for MAGA

I think this is more malicious/malignant compliance. They overreact purposefully to an EO then have to walk it back. Like the Air Force Academy suggesting it was going to stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen and having to walk that back. These are done so that folks on the left have headlines that they can point to, while they ignore the follow up headlines where the content was restored because it was not something required by the EO.

You're right. I've gotten emails from (D) ppl trying to raise money, quoting misleading headlines that turn out to be not quite what they purported to say. Scare tactics. Guess what? The RW does the exact same thing. AOC is a good example. She'd barely put up a picture in her new office after being sworn in and the RW media was painting her as some dangerous radical far left commie. Scare tactics in order to get viewers and raise $$. The RW is far better at this than the LW. Maybe RWers are more gullible, more susceptible to fearmongering., eh?

Absolutely they do... I will point them out too, if I am responding to one of the threads that do that. I sometimes post "without comment" the follow up articles, or even just point out the follow up. Talking points are talking points.

Usually you don't get much malicious compliance though, it takes having more employees of one party working someplace and then the other party getting elected to the WH and making EOs for those things to take place.

It is about uncertainty about what is being demanded. No one really knows what will be over the line, so everyone lives in fear. It is a classic totalitarian trick.
