So you're saying claiming that water is being poisoned to make frogs gay isn't lunatic?

Good to know. It actually explains a lot about your posts here.

But it sure is about being uneducated, uninformed, ignorant & naive.

To be a conservative is to have no understanding of what a false dichotomy fallacy is either, apparently. Go figure.

That's a short version - but I think the most interesting thing is that so far, very few Trump supporters here on C-D will touch the topic with a ten foot pole. To me that says that either they agree with most of those and are embarrassed to admit it or they aren't willing to fight for the cause. We'll see what sort of pretzel logic they can bring to bear. Maybe they have some convincing arguments.

Now, if a right-winger believes in the uranium or the emails stuff, I'd chalk it up to being very uninformed; but not completely crazy. But the stuff listed above... are crazy. A person has to be utterly insane to think those are even remotely possible. I know not all right-wingers believe them; but many, and probably most, actually do. And that, my friends, is what is defining that party.

Hmm. What a Sad & Sorry Sight.

Members of the Democrat party hold such utter contempt and intolerance towards many 10s of millions of their fellow Americans as displayed by this one post.

It's a pretty sad way to live. No wonder they can't win elections. Reduced to a state of powerlessness not seen for over 100 years.

I encourage the rest of you Democrats to come here and tell us how much you think the USA is now a nation of Deplorables. Tell us how you hate 10s of millions of people that you have never met, don't know anything about, and wish ill of. Make Hillary proud of you like the OP.

Interesting that you've decided that the items listed by the OP are "fake news". Which of the following have you decided you don't believe anymore?

- Sandy Hook is a hoax done with hired actors
- Obama was born in Kenya
- Obama is a Muslim
- Pizzagate
- Hillary has a kill list
- There is a Deep State of government agents against Trump
- Water is being poisoned to make frogs gay
- Anthony Scalia was murdered
- Ted Cruz's father killed JFK
- Millions of illegals voted in the presidential election

Probably choose to whine about tone instead of addressing any of the examples like this guy does. Much easier that way, no introspection or intellectual engagement necessary.

Most conservatives even think the true brainwashed and unhinged people are those who do not believe the above conspiracies.

You seem to be feeling a little defensive about this topic. Why is that? If you believe the things in the list below - have the courage of your convictions and take a stand. Are there some of them you don't believe? If so, which ones and why?

- Sandy Hook is a hoax done with hired actors
- Obama was born in Kenya
- Obama is a Muslim
- Pizzagate
- Hillary has a kill list
- There is a Deep State of government agents against Trump
- Water is being poisoned to make frogs gay
- Anthony Scalia was murdered
- Ted Cruz's father killed JFK
- Millions of illegals voted in the presidential election
