CNN has jumped the shark and basically parrots whatever they think makes Trump look bad, Fox is the opposite of them. Half the people you meet on the street think Trump is actually as bad as Hitler, the other half think he’s basically George Washington.

The worst part is nobody is even willing to hear arguments that challenge their way of thinking or differ at all.

This board is a great example, any post that differs at all from extreme right talking points on this board is treated with disdain and not even considered or even attempted to be understood.

If I ever get to the point in my life when I’m too sensitive to hear different views and opinions without freaking out or getting mad, just take me out to sea.

Whatever happened to political DISCUSSION. You can have your views and still be willing to hear other points.

Doesn't help when the media pushes a fully debunked fairy tale for two years and calls our President a Russian agent/traitor every single day...with no evidence

Let's also not forget every conservative that supports Trump is considered a white supremacist, homophobe, etc. every single day...with no evidence

The left and the press couldn’t bring themselves to admit Trump’s ideas beat them - so they made up this Russian Hitler bs to cope. As Trump keeps having success and fighting back they have to go deeper into their Hallucination. It will only get worse

When the government has massive influence in one’s life, then one should seek massive control in how government is run.

Small government equals who-gives-a-shitism.

Large government equals all give a shite and partisanship!

Simple really.

So... which half do you fall into?

'Cause I don't fall into either category and I've also seen a lot of people in PT say they will not vote Trump of the red flag legislation is allowed to pass or not vetoed.

I can see why you believe it has gotten extremely partisan if you start the arguement by lumping people into binary cubby holes. But that is your fault, not everyone else's.

This implies CNN hasn't been hyperpartisan since inception and certainly since Clinton.

And, you left out MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, NYT, WaPo, and dozens of others who:

Meh. We have some fairly well reasoned and nuanced discussions on a variety of issues on this board. Is the board heavily to the right? Certainly.

Are reasonable voices from the other side given a fair hearing? I think so.

Pretty much. At the national level, the MSM and their tech allies attempt to stifle as many voices from the right as they can. It is far more rare that leftist voices, even clearly radical and violent ones, are treated as similarly as #learntocode (which started off as a left thing against coal miners, but when reversed on them, specifically journalists was banned, just as an example fresh in my memory - there are hundreds).

So, you're free to point out how the right has stifled dissent in the past 30 or 40 years, but there is no support for this. Rush in the late 80s and FNC about a decade later were responses to the overwhelmingly monolithic leftist voice of the MSM.

Period. Full stop.

I accidently up voted you, no side is 100% to blame, but the left has turned to far left. They are unrecognizable!! Especially to hard working American citizens, and white people !!

For me 90% of the fake media is to blame, very little honest news in our country anymore, agenda driven, the news is like Hollywood, mostly fiction.

That's simply not true. This is usually a talking point parroted by democrats here. Using "extreme right" is a giveaway. Many people will engage and display facts to refute the dems. This board is split on many "extreme right" talking points like drugs and foreign intervention.

Many of the dem arguments have been used multiple times over the years. Maybe you are confusing "not even considered or even attempted to be understood" with "disproven ages ago."

No they aren’t man c’mon. Anybody who comes here posting anything center or left gets ridiculed. Their points rarely even get addressed, they just get called names.

Hell this post alone doesn’t even make a political point or pick a side, and I’ve already been called a snowflake, a woman, and biased

Here is your answer and let this sink in. You have half the country fervently calling the other half racists and bigots. You cannot have a discussion with that...period.

This did not start with DJT. DJT is just the first to "push back". That is why many defend him so vigorously. It started with Obama. I was against Obamacare. I would go to a political message board to discuss. It wouldn't take long before I would be called a racist because I disagreed with a black man. That is just how the left rolls now.

The LEFT doesn't want a political discussion...they want to shut people up. You have to be brain dead not to see that.

It is the Lefts fault.

I don’t care about Trump. What I do care about is how the government put together a classified intel operation to try and subvert a democratically elected president. If he’s the blunt instrument that can be used to shine a light on these crooks....I’ll support him.

If not him I’ll find somebody else.

The left has always been hyper partisan as they’re whole MO is to drum up an emotional response via propaganda.
