“To anger a conservative, lie to him. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth”
How can this still be so true 100 years later?
Well, there is no verification that it is Roosevelt’s quote, so as to whether it is 100 years old is questionable. However, that does indeed seem to be the way it works.... at least these days. People, and I’m not talking about you as this one has been making the rounds for years, seem to have a tendency to stick famous people’s names on quotes they agree with in order to give the sentiment credibility.

A good test is being told a Truth about someone you hate, what is your immediate reaction? For instance for a liberal if someone tells you a few of the good things Trump has done over the years is your first reaction anger or to think its a lie or orange man bad? Or is it a rational yep that is true he has done those good things But he also has done all these things i disagree with and i believe the bad things far out weighs the bad.
