“I don’t want to have to take a position on record about my support for disastrous forever wars.”

Land of the fee and the home of the slave

I just realized that it would be hilarious to write to someone “with all due respect (none) …”

I think people are underestimating how big a loser Trump is. Like the people supporting him are losers, but it takes quite a bit to approach his unprecedented levels of loserhood.

I find they’re actually more informed and their reasoning does have some logic to it. I keep getting frustrated on things because it seems to me like the left is losing because they really are less informed and reality based.

You need to take a step back and consider your sources, because you’re starting to sound like you’re falling for the propaganda yourself.

“Reality-based” has a meaning and it walks a close line near “evidence-based”. Evidence-based scientific studies have repeatedly confirmed that right-wing media consumers are less informed about reality than those that consume no media.

Sure, right-wing media consumers might have a better idea in the current moment what Trump might do next because in some cases it’s difficult to tell if Fox is working for Trump or Trump is working for Fox. But that has nothing to do with Trump or his policies being reality-based. It has to do with consistency within their talking points and propaganda.

Reality is still reality, and the reality is that Trump attacked a sovereign nation without authorization from Congress. The reality is that we’ve been in a constitutional crisis for months now, and that the Republicans in Congress are abdicating their duty of oversight on the executive branch. I guarantee they aren’t covering that on Fox News.

Yeah, I mean look at Cuomo for mayor. Keeping around provably corrupt politicians became more common most notably with Donald Trump but it applies now to both parties.

Cuomo shouldn’t be able to run for dog catcher after his actions, and yet he’s there at the top of the polls and getting endorsements from other establishment figures.

Masks both prevent oxygen from reaching your lungs and cannot stop COVID particles from entering them. Make it make sense.
