They literally think that anybody who disagrees with Trump or Fox News is lying.
It's not as much that progressives are angry at other viewpoints, but rather that they are astonished to find that there are even other viewpoints.

Much of that is deliberate misinformation.

What it proves to me is a clear and distinct lack of critical thinking skills, and the GOP has always known this and cultivated this.

The Dumbing Down of America is deliberate, calculated, and gave us Donald Trump.
It's anti-intellectualism at it's finest. They think their whacked out lies and propaganda is equal to real observable facts.

So what you are saying is that the electoral college wanted the wall despite the fact that the people didn't.

In 30 (out of 50) states, Trump won the popular vote. In those 30 states, around 57% of the population lives in them. Hence by the rules of your own election, he won.

So far your brand of intellectualism hasn't reached above the elementary schoolyard level. Crack a book sometime and work on a diploma in something besides hate America and SJW. On topic I can recommend "Ship of Fools" by Tucker Carlson.

While some supporters do listen to Hannity and Ingraham; I don't. I hate listening to any of the political bickering on either side. Maybe that is why I have never suffered from headaches! I will never watch CNN or MSNBC again. I don't even like the Drudge report; but I do look at it from time to time. I do look at the opposition websites from time to time to see what they are up to. But, guess what, I don't even tune in programs I used to like to watch on those liberal stations. I plan on boycotting them for the rest of my life.

With the last election what became so obvious is that we have so many stations that have a liberal agenda. It isn't 'news' when one side cannot see any of the positions of the other side. It's only propaganda and that is one thing I can live without! If they ever come back to 'fair' reporting I might give them another try. But I do not see that happening in my lifetime!

You've got it backwards - it is Trump who is being completely controlled by Ann Coulter, Limbaugh, and Hannity. He views them as the mouthpiece of his base. Trump is a weak President, he has no mind of his own. He is a puppet to Putin and Fox.

I didn’t get it wrong. I agree with you, as I said they are being controlled by conservative media via Individual 1.

I-1 fans want whatever I-1 wants. I-1 wants whatever Hannity, Coulter say he should want.

It’s twisted as hell.
