The Great Deception

Joe LaCroix, Misinformation, and the Art of Online Bullying

Ah, dear readers,
we find ourselves yet again unraveling the web of deceit spun by none other than Joe LaCroix, the self-proclaimed guardian of “truth,” whose track record, I dare say, suggests quite the opposite. It seems Mr. LaCroix fancies himself a warrior against misinformation, all the while weaponizing misinformation himself, bullying dissenters, and orchestrating a campaign to silence those who dare to challenge him.

But worry not, for Lady Bumptious is here, and the receipts are plentiful.

Click here to View Joe’s Other Lies


Lie #1: “I Wasn’t on Social Media During the Election”

A most hilarious claim, indeed! Mr. LaCroix, in his usual long-winded manner, confidently declared that he had “left social media during the election cycle.” Now, any respectable person would assume such a statement comes from a place of honesty.

But alas, the evidence says otherwise.

Election Day? August 4, 2022.
Joe LaCroix’s online presence? July 19, 2022, and beyond.

Ah, Joe, the timeline does not lie—but clearly, you do. How unfortunate that the internet holds receipts better than your memory.


Lie #2: The Misinformation Campaign

Oh, the irony of a man who attends conferences on misinformation while spreading it himself. He crafted an entire narrative about how misinformation is used to destabilize governments—yet here he is, misrepresenting facts, spinning tales, and trying to discredit anyone who calls him out.

His posts drip with gaslighting, always positioning himself as the “reasonable” party while labeling any opposition as misinformed, extremist, or dangerous. It is a classic case of projection, dear readers—a man who accuses others of what he himself does.


Lie #3: The Bullying & Smear Campaign

Let’s not forget that getting people removed from platforms is a favorite pastime of Joe and his minions. When I simply expressed that his misinformation was offensive, I found myself kicked off Nextdoor—a convenient result, wouldn’t you say? Silencing critics is the oldest trick in the book, but unfortunately for Joe, it doesn’t work on me.

Let’s call it what it is: a coordinated effort to de-platform and discredit. This is not about protecting discourse—it’s about controlling the narrative.



Oh, the Audacity!

Listeners, gather ‘round and prepare yourselves for yet another delightful unveiling of deception, as we dive into the utterly shameless tactics of Joe LaCroix, a man who wouldn’t know the truth if it personally introduced itself with a curtsy.

At the time of this recording, I was grieving the loss of my mother while my father lay on his death bed at the hospital, yet Joe, in his never-ending quest for attention and control, saw this as the perfect opportunity to twist the narrative in a way that only a true manipulator could.

In this exchange, you’ll hear a masterclass in gaslighting, as he actively shifts the blame onto me for daring to recognize his lies. You see, dear listeners, in the world of Joe LaCroix, it is your fault if you do not accept his falsehoods as gospel. His latest attempt to rewrite history? A desperate plea that he simply "misspoke"—oh, but let us be clear:

Mis-speaking and mistyping are not the same thing, Joe.

Oh, but the plot thickens! Joe’s timeline of deception begins long before his so-called "misinformation awareness post" on Nextdoor. He claims he was absent, but receipts tell a different story—he was on Nextdoor long before his so-called retreat, lurking, posting, and spinning his ever-changing web of contradictions. And while he insists he shut down his profile, well, let’s just say we have screenshots that suggest otherwise.

So, dear listeners, I invite you to listen carefully, analyze with discernment, and judge for yourselves. Is this the innocent misspeak of a well-meaning man—or the carefully crafted manipulation of someone who refuses to be held accountable?

You be the judge. But as for me? The evidence speaks volumes.

Now, let’s roll the tape. 🎙️


Joe LaCroix: The Misogynist’s Guide to Manipulation, Gaslighting, and Online Bullying

Ah, Joe LaCroix—the self-proclaimed guardian of truth, yet the reality paints a vastly different picture. His behavior isn't just manipulative; it follows a disturbing pattern of misogynistic bullying, particularly against women who dare to challenge him.

Upon analyzing his own words and tactics, we see a repeated strategy that includes:

Gaslighting – Making false claims, then blaming others for "misunderstanding" or "spreading misinformation" when caught.
Blame-Shifting – Redirecting criticism onto his targets rather than addressing his own behavior.
Projection – Accusing others of the very things he himself does.
Manipulation & Deflection – Reframing the conversation to make himself appear as the victim.
Cowardly Behavior – Blocking individuals while falsely claiming they blocked him first, ensuring he controls the narrative.
Misogyny & Belittling Tone – Using condescending language to undermine women who oppose him.


Exposing Joe’s Hypocrisy in Real Time

The Block & Blame Tactic

Joe’s classic move: accuse someone of blocking him while he’s the one doing the blocking.

  • In this thread, Joe himself started talking about me first, making accusations without any hesitation.

  • However, when I responded, he suddenly played the victim card, claiming that I had him blocked and therefore was somehow a coward.

  • The irony? Joe is the one who blocked me—ensuring that he controls the conversation without having to be confronted directly.

This is a textbook narcissistic maneuver: create the illusion of victimhood while being the aggressor.
Here is the thread in order so you can see how it transpired.


Gaslighting & Deflection

Joe constantly rewrites history to suit his narrative.

  • He initially posted someone’s license plate without blurring it, but when confronted, he tried to twist the story:

“I did blur out the license plate, albeit after it was pointed out to me.”

  • What’s missing here? The fact that he first posted it unblurred and only altered it later after being called out.

  • Instead of acknowledging that he crossed a line, he laughs about it, proving that his actions were intentional and malicious.

**This is gaslighting at its finest—**an attempt to manipulate the situation so that he remains blameless while making others question their own reality.


3️⃣ The Misogynistic Tone & Discrediting Women

Joe has a very particular way of addressing women who challenge him, and it’s dripping with condescension and misogyny.

  • When debating men, he sticks to facts (or his version of them).

  • When debating women, he belittles, mocks, and invalidates their perspectives by dismissing them as "delusional" or "misinformed."

  • His comment “Kimmie is up to her typical misinformation” is a clear example of minimizing and discrediting without engaging in an actual discussion.

Why? Because engaging in real debate would require defending his words with facts, something he clearly struggles with. Instead, he resorts to mockery and dismissiveness—a classic misogynistic tactic to shut women down rather than debate them fairly.


Final Verdict: Joe’s Playbook of Lies & Bullying

Joe LaCroix is not a beacon of truth. He is a serial gaslighter, a manipulator, and a misogynist who uses social media to control the narrative while avoiding accountability.

His tactics are not just dishonest—they are dangerous, especially when used to silence women, rewrite history, and excuse his own bad behavior.

🔹 Blocking someone while accusing them of blocking you? Check.
🔹 Posting personal information, then gaslighting about it? Check.
🔹 Undermining women instead of debating fairly? Check.
🔹 Claiming victimhood while being the aggressor? Check.

This isn’t about discourse. This is about control.

The receipts are here. The pattern is undeniable. And as always, the truth outs itself—no matter how hard Joe tries to twist it.


Final Thoughts: Joe, You’re Exposed

Joe LaCroix, if your goal was to rewrite history and silence those who expose you, I must regretfully inform you that you have failed spectacularly. The receipts have been laid bare, your lies have been documented, and the truth, as it always does, has come to light.

I will not be silenced. I will not be bullied. And most importantly, I will not allow you to pretend you stand for truth when you so clearly stand for manipulation.

So, dearest readers, let this serve as a lesson: those who claim to fight misinformation are often the ones spreading it the most.

Until next time, stay vigilant, stay informed, and most importantly—stay truthful.

Yours in unwavering defiance,
Lady Bumptious
