This "Common Sense" Facebook Post Isn't What It Seems

I came across one of those Facebook posts that frames itself as "just common sense" — but underneath, it's pushing a lot of political spin and selective outrage.

Instead of pretending it’s harmless, I broke it down piece by piece.

I'm not above politics — this is a political video. I just hate when bad narratives like this get passed around as if they're neutral or apolitical.
