    Fact checking Trump is pointless. The people who don’t like him know every word out of his mouth is either a lie or a personal attack. The people who like him either don’t care or won’t believe you.

    Fact checking Biden at that debate is pointless because everyone on both sides is going to care about how he lost his poise and fumbled so many words.

      If you care about facts, I think fact checking is important.

          A fraction of undecided voters may decide the next election, and they might be weighing whether they care more about Biden’s age or Trump’s lies. I think fact checking could matter to those people too. No one is swaying Trump voters.

          This liner of reasoning is useless. People have been repeating it for 6 years and the inky thing it does is promote apathy in the undecided and convince cultists that they’re right
