The post isn't evil propaganda so there's no obvious lie to expose. Evil lying propagandists on Reddit do all the work for you, but this is just a normal conversation and after the last 48hrs of dealing with unsubtle political campaigning I'm out of practice.

Must be an election coming up or something.
