recapitated,

How do you push back on the narrative while not elevating it? I honestly vaguely remember hearing about this years ago and had forgotten it completely until now.

Of course it should be called out as false, but do it on the spot without making a new spotlight for it.

I guess I’m not sure the best way to clarify my point, but in general I think that it’s fine to catalog all the falsehoods together and publicize that, or it’s fine to combat them as needed, but going out of the way to bring one random lie to attention I think is just going to revitalize it while giving the wing nuts reign over “controlling the narrative”.

I think so few reasonable people are preoccupied by this lie that it may just be detracting from more important issues to elevate it.
