For now, these kinds of claims are so ridiculous as to be laughable. However in the future, who knows what might kick off as a result of some conspiracy nonsense on social media?

Starmer's fault.Originally Posted by Gofer Blue
That taylor green is one fruit loop.
Does anybody actually need BBC Verify to tell them what to think?
To be fair I think the BBC are simply reporting the fact that Joe Biden had to reassure the dear old American public that this idea is nonsense! I'm pretty sure there must be plenty of rednecks/preppers over there who believe it.

Why is the word "very" no longer considered good enough to use by some people? Using the word "super" instead of the perfectly adequate word that was already in use to describe heightened degrees of something is so American teenagerish - nobody was saying they were super this or super that four or five years ago.
American politics makes uk politics seems alright….sbsolute madness from the team Trump
Quite a lot of absolute feckwits in this country need to be told what is true and what is false , yes
The recent riots must have shown us how brain dead the population is
If someone spends the bulk of their time watching and reading US right wing crap then it's bound to rub off eventually.
Yes I've noticed for years that the US right has a large influence on a certain type of people over here.
How many posts did we get on here on things like Hunter Biden's laptop etc - something that basically nobody in this country gives even a fraction of a shit about
What are you haarping on about now?
The lies and coverups surrounding the laptop from hell swung the US elections. There wouldn't have been an Ukraine “war” if Trump had won and millions of people wouldn't be dead or displaced, and democracy wouldn't have been suspended indefinitely. You were literally telling people how to tactically vote Starmer into power as well, while also destroying the Welsh economy with his BS 10mph speed limit campaign.
What is it they say? I remember, don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story.
What’s your take on it then ?
How was the Welsh economy destroyed?
There is no 10mph limit.
Don't forget the 51 former high-ranking officials who lied to get Biden into the White House, and the media who promoted the fake story.
not one part of that paragraph is true.
Precisely! Who the f**k is Hunter Biden? I only know of some chap called Joe
Do you not think the US left has a similar influence?
Go on then Jimbo. Avail us of your knowledge of the US left. Pen and postage stamp ready?
I think what you will find is that the US has a disproportionate influence on every aspect of culture, politics, media, language and every day life. To assume it's just the US "right" is incorrect. It's the "left" as well, and nearly every other aspect of life. Disagree? Of course you will. An inability to find consensus and to demonize the other side is one US import from the left (and prevalent on the right too) that you ably demonstrate!
You have avoided answering az’s question and resorted to the usual swerve with added pomposity.
What imports from the US left have you detected? What do you think of as the ‘left’ in a US context? There is no question of the influence of the US right through social media - led by Trump and the MAGA lot (echoed here by Farage and a many of the Tories), Musk, the fossil fuel lobby, Christian Zionists, white supremacists, and on and on. But the left? I suppose there is some online influence still from BLM, and the Jewish campaigners against the genocide in Gaza, and a few environmentalists, but the influence and noise is totally asymmetrical.
I am in the USA now ( been here 3 weeks so far) and in the liberal/Democrat north east. The two things that have struck me hard are how divorced from any idea of ‘the left’ the mainstream Democrat party is, and how much support for Trump there appears to be in rural and small town America even in states where he is thought to have no chance.
So how many votes have you cast since you've been there? I reckon it must be in the hundreds of thousands!
