Why do people on this forum totally ignore facts and ignore valid arguments against their side? Its just constant knee-jerk attacks with no analysis or support provided.
Why do you assume everything FOX NEWS or CNN tells you is automatically true just because the guy on the TeeVee happens to be someone from your political party?
Are people really this dumb?
It's easier to jump on an ideological or fanboy bandwagon than it is to look at issues individually and think critically in order to come to informed opinions and conclusions. It's also easier to take a knee-jerk position than it is to simply say, "I don't know".
On this forum we see people being painted by broad strokes as "leftist" or otherwise because they hold a position or two. It's as if people are cheering for sports teams.
All I see are a bunch of people that take politics waaaaay too seriously.
What exactly could be any more serious than politics?
You'll forgive me if I don't give a ***** about which Kardashion sister is doing what, or who has the most running yards in the NFL this season.... things that a lot of people follow religiously but don't mean a thing in the real world.
I would like to see a list, and from a credible source not those alt right or conservative blogs.
I mean from the top of my head, we know Trump has lied about:
A) Electoral college win being the biggest in its history - Bush Sr. holds that title
B) Obama wiretapping him - FBI has denied it
C) Healthcare for everyone - that new bill which he praised on twitter doesn't cover everyone
D) He said he'd release his tax returns, then said he couldn't because of an audit - IRS says nothing is stopping him from releasing them
E) Claim of millions illegally voting without any proof - yeah some news items popped up that showed some had voted twice or improperly (some of which were republicans), but that doesn't translate to millions
F) Flip flopping on Flynn on whether or not he has his support
G) The unemployment and economy being a complete disaster - unemployment has been at its lowest for a long time and the economy has been steadily rising. Is it perfect, no but it's not disastrous as Trump claimed.
I mean if he lies about so many benign things, can you imagine about the more serious stuff?
And considering they haven't even started to investigate a connection between Russia and Trump administration, how can anyone claim it's false when the investigation has not even officially begun?
"I would like to see a list, and from a credible source not those alt right or conservative blogs."
THAT answers the question.
Many on here from the left believes that ANYTHING from a "right source" is B.S. and EVERYTHING from the left is gospel!
Why do people on this forum totally ignore facts and ignore valid arguments against their side?
It's because the stakes are so high. The continued existence of the traditional American nation hangs in the balance. That's what motivates the right.
The left is motivated by its hatred for, or at least its desire to replace, the traditional American nation and by the shocking recognition that -- for once -- that nation has mounted a moderately successful counterattack. Resistance cannot be tolerated.
Some people don't know or care very much about what's going on (even if they may have voted for Clinton or Trump). They don't bother to post on political discussion boards.
