So, it's not Breitbart. Expand your horizons.

b) The above listed 'opinions' are completely false, at least as far as they relate to anyone I know. Being right-wing does not make someone an authoritarian. Exactly the opposite is closer to the truth.
Feel free to refute the scientific studies that were cited. But use data, not your narrow opinion and personal biases.

We don't like, nor do we trust, our government for the most part. Trump is a useful tool for us right now because he fulfills many of our desires for the direction in which we want this country to head
Well, you're partially correct. tRump IS a simple tool.

I just think he keeps up the game,” a former senior administration official said. “It is much easier to have a conspiracy theory than have to deal with the facts. He and facts have a severe dislike for each other. He and facts don’t get along. If you are not going to get along with facts and you have an administration known for lying, then everything becomes a conspiracy theory.”…

“It is just easier to blame it on some nefarious organization and individuals rather than doing the job you are going to do. If I can blame you, why would I take responsibility?” [Former RNC Chairman Michael] Steele added.

I think a better question is, why can’t his base see this?
Because many people believe in conspiracy theories these days. I mean look at flat earthers who believe that the government says the world is an oblaite spehroid to keep us stupid and buying things. Look at those that think the government was in on killing thousands, injuring many more and exposing many more to cancer from the 9/11 attacks. People believe what they want and many Trump supporters believe the same conspiracies he does.

So I end up missing most of what you have to add to the conversation. If that is your goal, then well done!

Just dealing with a grammar Nazi.

But somehow you find that upsetting.

My goal is to amuse and stimulate.

Not everyone will appreciate the sparkling wit.

Amusing quickly turns to tiresome and then you are ignored.
