Eric Weinstein: Republicans are the party of BSers; Democrats are the party of gaslighters

Good Twitter Thread from Weinstein
So, yeah, give me the party of bullshitters over the party of gaslighters. Many of my best friends are bullshitters, but I refuse to be around a gaslighter. It is a losing strategy against the grade A-Bullshiter since the bullshitter will just go point it out.

At least you can laugh at a bullshitter and they will laugh with you. However if you laugh at a gaslighter their reaction will be violence if they don't self restrain themselves.

Any traditional Democrat/Liberal has to do the obligatory "Trump sucks too" disclaimer. The important thing is that people are instantly recognizing Progressive/Chattering Class gaslighting and specifically intend to PUNISH Democrats for it.

republicans are the party of live and let live. go be gay...go be trans...go cut your dick off and wear a wig, i don't give a shite. just stop raising my taxes.
ever heard a democrat say "let them go to church on sunday if they want to. it's not bothering me."
nope! it's "we need to close their church down. it bothers me." "we need to take their guns. guns bother me."

Here's the difference.
Republican: "I don't like meat, so I'm not going to eat meat."
Democrat: "I don't like meat, so I want it to be illegal for everyone to eat meat."
Republican: "I don't like meat, so I'm not going to eat meat."
Democrat: "I don't like meat, so I want it to be illegal for everyone to eat meat."

Democrats are the sweet Aunt who promises to take you to Disney World, but never follows through. Republicans are the gruff Uncle who tells you he can’t afford to take you to Disney World, but you later find out he went without you.

Both frustrating, but one is clearly more dangerous than the other
Take global warming for some Republicans -
"We don't trust that the scientists aren't politically motivated so we don't believe in it. We'll now tune out everything else."
Take race/crime statistics for Democrats:
"We need to rethink the concepts of scientific knowledge and data-driven knowledge because they prop up things like misleading statistics on criminality."
In other words -
Republicans - Don't trust 'em, so I don't buy what they're selling
Democrats - Destroy all the underpinnings of the things I don't agree with, using made-up and inherently flawed tools
I'm going to side with the one that doesn't seek to eliminate science just because the scientific community says something I dislike

I like Eric and his brother Brett a lot. They are far left in a lot of their ideologies but they are honest, appreciate intelligent discourse with conservatives, and not afraid to call out either political party. I wish we had more democrats like them.
