Wikipedia's bias against Republican voters is proper and fair, in theory, but they are abusing it

if you don't explicitly discourage Republicans from editing or holding positions of power, they'll fuck everything up with misinfo and lies
however Wikipedia lets their anti-Republican bias cloud too much of their generic articles. I don't always care who and who is an anti-semite or a republican or whatever, sometimes i just wanna know more about subjects outside that

Of note is that Tim Pool and Lauren Southern are considering suing Wikipedia or it's authors on their articles, and I don't think they'd lose.

Wikipedia's regulars and admins are mostly too young to understand that politics shift. Some positions that are important to the Democrats now used to be Republican talking points 20-30 years ago, and vice versa. Also, the tide of the electorate in the US constantly shifts between the two parties. So, when they fill all Republican-related articles with accusations of "supporting Q-Anon" and the like, once the tide turns as it may do over the next 2-4 years, it makes Wikipedia look even more stupid than it usually does.

So that’s why so many WP editors use fake names? They should know the etymology of “devil” means to slander, falsely accuse.
