Yep, that’s my point. There is an objective reality, and if we are not all sharing it, that’s a problem. A pretty big one at that.

Anyway, this discussion is diverging from the original thread. Take care.

I would say it’s someone who doesn’t believe in any mainstream media sources, and relies on sources such as Breitbart, Zero Hedge, etc. as well as getting news from random youtube accounts and Facebook. They’re also prone to conspiracy theories.

It’s not about party identification. Lots of republicans are not alt right.
Wait, so sitting down like a good little boy or girl and letting your opinions be spoon fed into our brain by the endlessly lying news media is the thing that defines a person as "normal" and not a "dangerous Alt-Right extremist"? How did you -- a self-described centrist -- come to possess such astounding wisdom??

Would you say that believing in the utterly debunked Russiagate conspiracy theory makes a person an extremist? What about all the other conspiracy theories that they bandy about, only to see them disproven? The Fake News Media has been tripping all over themselves fishing for "gotcha" moments against their political enemies since I can remember, but they turned it up to 11 after Trump got elected. They quite literally cannot say a single good thing about the man. The idea that any human being is always wrong and always bad is the most ridiculous conspiracy theory imaginable. And yet, you actually trust them??

It does prove an important point: The label Alt-Right literally means everything and nothing.

True. But ponder this: It's not exactly a sign of confidence to start with the accusations of cheating before the event.

Thank Facebook.

Their algorithms show you what you want to see, not what your should see. It’s all designed to keep you on as much as people.

It’s meant the death of critical thinking which destroys their ability to hold any sort of debate. They’ll hold on to blatantly false claims till they’re blue in the face, cause Facebook showed them it so it must be true.

Except that we know that Democrats have cheated in these debates in the past. Since Democrats have gotten even worse since last time, and they are putting up a candidate who thus far only reads answers provided to him, it's a valid concern.

The Narrator should ASK each candidate if they have any ear pieces or ear mics and America holds them accountable!

So, this is a conspiracy theory? 1000 pages long documenting all the detailed contacts and transgressions coinciding with names. Led by a republican controlled panel.

Absolute silliness.
#1 So Democrats are hypocritical on this topic.

#2 I think the drug test is over the top.

#3 Any honest person will admit that Biden is showing signs of aging. Evidence seems to show he gets prescreened questions and a teleprompter feeds him answers. It is legitimate to question if he is getting an ear piece to feed him answers - especially if he can't allow people to do a simple check for it.

What does it say to have a president who wants 30 minute breaks so he can rest and get coached up and won't let you check his advanced aged ears to see if he gets fed answers.

Yeah, I think my point stands. Thanks.
