Maybe you are being manipulated by your political side just like everyone else

Ever notice that there is always a boogeyman or a crisis or a controversy?
And that every election is The Most Important Election Ever?
How much of what you believe was taught to you, without you requesting it?
Maybe you, me, and everyone are being played.

The left media does not have a monopoly on manipulation.
But for those looking for some objective, more neutral content, Glenn Greenwald is now on Rumble:

Boogeymen for mainstream voters: Trump/MAGA.
Boogeymen for MAGA: mail-in ballots, Dominion, the "fix."

The weaponization of the DOJ is somewhat startling to me. I realize it has been done in a clandestine manner in the past, but now it is happening out in the open and unapologetically. And the left cheers it. That is eye opening.
The left has shifted so far left they can’t even see the middle anymore. Of course they think we are the radicals. They would think Kennedy was a MAGA terrorist. It’s insane.

Fear is a great motivator. Remember what Rham Emanuel said during the Obama presidency….. “never let a crisis go to waste”. It appears the democrats have decided that everything is a crisis since then

For which there is no evidence - nor logic. Every particle of MAGA is directed toward making America fulfill the promise of its founding and the first 250 years of its existence. Every attack against MAGA has been proven to be - at best = the fruit of an evilly motivated imagination - or the fruit of a malicious plot/hoax/gaslight.

For which evidence is knee-deep for all but the deaf, dumb, blind, and evil cabal.
Every particle of physical evidence and the result of any logical analysis supports the 'illegitimate election' philosophy. There is not one counter-example to put forth contradicting that belief.
But other than that - yeah
edit - oh shite - did I just respond to 'tarzana' without the obligatory
so sorry - I need to take better notice

It's not working on me. Never has When I heard 'This is the most important election every' I thought 'Uh, No, it's not.' And that started when I was about 10 y .o.

This is a much bigger deal than the other "side" about to destroy your way of life. Polarity is manufactured so that those manufacturing it (on both sides) can try to seize power.

Well, under normal western standards of logic, this idea of parity between the political divide and their propensities for one-sided vision would be a correct way to look at it. Albeit, the left will always be more empathic, emotional, and creative than the right, which will always be more logical, stoic, and cautious.
However, the woke left are neo-communists, whether the realize it and accept that label or not. They have abandoned the notion of objective truth and instead see history as simply a power struggle between groups. They follow a utopian religion that thinks that with ultimate power, they can ignore reality and make man into the image of their own making, which is actually as dystopian as can be.
In order to do this, they have abandoned truth telling. It doesn’t serve their cause. They actually brag about it. For instance, they have a term called “repressive tolerance”, which holds that it is perfectly acceptable and even encouraged to hold your opponents to a different standard than your own.
That’s why they are perfectly fine with the current state of 2-tier justice. They proudly gaslight their opponents by accusing them of doing the very thing that they are doing. It’s really not debatable.

This by far is the biggest escalation in political discourse. Pols have always talked shite about each other. They have always looked to exploit different subgroups of their political base to their advantage. But after Hoover and the FBI being exposed as a corrupt organization, I never thought they would be as bold or blatant in showing their corruption as they have since 2016. And honestly, I didn’t see the Russiagate investigation as blatant corruption until it was confirmed the whole premise was made up and they knew it.

When it comes to Democrats and Republicans, I don't really have a side. Neither represents my values and beliefs. Republicans are just the other side of the same coin. If something doesn't change the tide, this country is definitely screwed.

Thinking for yourself is the antidote.
I’ve noticed a whole lot of people seem to operate under the assumption that basically nobody else thinks for themselves, but themselves.
I’m not so much directing this to you. Just a curious observation.

What was eye opening was the Democrat employment of street thugs and gangs like Antifa and BLM. Those were and are the actions of tyrants.

I just want 3-5 federal election cycles without a Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, Graham, Romney, Nadler, and a few others and let’s just see what happens. I realize there’s always a swallowswell or eyepatch to fill the void, but humor me.

Sounds like something the left would say.
Only one side is trying to prevent the other side from getting its message out. Only one side is coordinating a narrative with what is supposed to be independent media.
