If anyone ever wonder why the right-wing seems so delusional and why they get so offended when they were presented with the truth. This quote may explain it to you.

So basically it goes like this: "If I say a frog is beautiful. You can't disagree with me because beauty is subjective. And if I say the Russian collusion is fake, Trump inauguration has the largest crowd ever, there is a Deep State, Obama is a Muslim, Hillary has a kill list; you can't say I'm wrong. Because facts are in the eye of the beholder!"


Quote:

Rudy Giuliani Claims Facts Are 'In the Eye of the Beholder,' Calls Trump the Most 'Honest' President in History

Rudy Giuliani, said Tuesday that in the modern era facts are "in the eye of the beholder."

"It's in the eye of the beholder," Giuliani said. When Cuomo tried to respond that factual statements are not in the eye of the beholder, the attorney answered with "nowadays they are."

What comes down to it is way back after Nixon the mythology "liberal media" moniker was created. This made the right believe they are "victims" and everyone is against them - this went into overdrive during the 90s with hate am radio and then fox news in the late 90s and now the internet. The right deeply believes only Fox News, am hate radio, BreitBart are telling the truth with the rest all lying to them and government trying to brainwash the young with public schools and public colleges.


To me it comes down to a mythology "liberal media" moniker and the right always want to play themselves as victims + they believe Republicans are the patriots of America - Democrats cheat and are lazy who never deserve and should have power.

It is true that Republicans do seem to see themselves as perpetual victims of . . everything.

It's pretty off putting actually.

I'm ready to divide off into red states vs blue states - just give me time to move.

Ahhh Ok

So does that mean that for the Left LIES are in the eyes of the beholder?




Right or Left leaning it is hard to deny that there is a bias in the media against Trump and the Right.

Its a quote from the liberal Post Modern playbook.
It must be disturbing when the unexpected non liberal plays by the same rules.

Sounds like Rudy has subscribed to the Kellyanne Conway definition of "facts".

Eye of the beholder? Here's what I behold.

An OP who decides to call 10s of millions of his fellow Americans, "delusional" and not capable of understanding the "truth".

Pretty sad way to live.
