It it one of the most incredible phenomena of our time. The utter denial of reality on all fronts. The absolute refusal to acknowledge data and science, while simultaneously sticking to the given narrative like a fly to pig shite. The "Party of Science" and also the party of 117 genders.

You can show them every example in history of how socialism has failed.

You can show them the striking parallels of the Nazis and our current government. How the same "divide and conquer" tactics were used to seize ultimate power. How the Jews were discriminated against by their own neighbors and turned over to the Gestapo (our FBI).

You can show them that the price of gas has nearly doubled in the last year. How the price of food is up 3.5% in March alone and we are expecting a 2.4% inflation this year, according to the Fed. How this is a direct result of "stimulus" checks and trillions in endless spending.

You can explain how taxes work. How the government doesn't actually produce anything. How the only way to generate wealth and prosperity for all is by creating incentives to work and create more products and services. How getting up for work and providing for your family actually produces self-worth and meaning in your life. Not putting Monopoly money in people's pockets. Not social welfare.

You can show them that Joe Biden likes rubbing and kissing little children. You can show them that Hunter Biden is a crack addict pedophile, who also sleeps with his dead brothers' wife AND daughter. You can spell out the quid pro quo with Ukraine.

You can spell out the entire Spygate debacle, the biggest political scandal of modern time, which the water-toting media just swept under the rug.

You can show the statistics of police shootings. How they aren't actually hunting down black men in the streets. How black men commit more crime than other subgroups, therefore by default, have more interactions with police

You can show them the cultural decline in certain communities. The praising of violence and victimhood. You can explain to them that setting low expectations is not only racist, but also detrimental.

You can point out the studies that show masks don't work. That masking our kids is not only unsupported by data, but also torturous behavior.

You can educate them on Operation Mockingbird. How it's still in effect today. How every MSM "news" outlet repeats the same talking points, regardless of the alphabet letters on the screen. How they all do the bidding of the Democrat Party. How they treated Trump vs how the treat Obama/Biden.

You can show them the effectiveness of Trump's policies. The effectiveness of a wall. The peace he sought in the Middle East. The jobs he created.

You can describe in simpleton terms why we won't budge an inch on the 2nd amendment. You can point out to them that we already have gun laws in place, background checks in place. You can also show them that no matter what law you put in place, the criminals are still not going to give a frick. That laws only restrict law-abiding citizens, which emboldens criminals even more.

You can show them how Hollywood and Silicon Valley and Big Tech all hate conservatives and want to take away your first amendment rights.

You can show them videos of Antifa and BLM literally burning down cities last summer, and every news outlet called it mostly peaceful protests. Politicians like Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi openly encouraging and praising them for political violence, in the name of social justice.




So have at it libs. Please explain what it is that causes you to be immune to facts and data. I genuinely want to move forward and see the American people unify. But when we are living in two sets of realities, one based on facts and one based on feelings, it is hard to imagine a path forward. When we can't agree that a man is a man and a woman is a woman; ;that our Founders were, while imperfect, men of God; that police aren't the bad guys and criminals aren't the good guys. When we can't even get back to reality on these issues, our time as a civilized, first world country could quickly be coming to an end.

They live by Emotional Science. No Data necessary.


Well, until you pay off a scientist for a study to be done.

Wokeness is based on fairy tales.

Science does not support their beliefs, they make it up.

In social science, antipositivism (also interpretivism, negativism or antinaturalism) is a theoretical stance that proposes that the social realm cannot be studied with the scientific method of investigation utilized within the natural sciences, and that investigation of the social realm requires a different epistemology. Fundamental to that antipositivist epistemology is the belief that the concepts and language that researchers use in their research shape their perceptions of the social world they are investigating, studying, and defining.[1]

Leftist and today's "liberal" are mentally ill and cannot be saved. Decades of brain washing from academia, Hollywood and media have conquered their ability to constructively think.

You can’t show them.

Hell... the ones in the city that were all “defund the police” are now aggravated by the ATVs and dirt bikes flying through their cities and increased crime. The solution? No not rethinking their position... it’s moving.

Where the idiots then begin to advocate and protest for more of what they just left.

You can’t show them. You can’t even let them sit in their own shite they created and learn anything.

They aren't liberals. Real liberals are open and understanding. These are statists. They don't care about understanding, they want control. Decisions are made on emotions, not facts.

They don't want to just win elections, they want to destroy the opposition. Freedom of speech exists only if you agree with them on every matter. They hate the foundation that this country was based upon, that you control your own destiny, that government doesn't shape your life. They want their lives shaped because they fear failure and don't realize that great men have failed often and still succeed.

Correct.

As I’ve said before we have no party and no voice for normal people. Our two political parties are dominated by authoritarian fascist lunatics, power hungry money brokers, and hypocritical thieves.

It is perpetually the Salem witch trials with these people. Everyone is evil, everyone needs to be purified and punished.

Amazing that Jindal's $700 million budget cut to education didn't help.

My Uber liberal friend moved from a city that is 60% black to one that is less than one percent black.

But to them that's not white flight.

but boy, let facts or data actually fall on their side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its almost like being married to my ex wife again. i know how she manipulated. i know that i'm an OK person......definitely have faults. but the things she'd manipulate and i'd know for a fact i didn't do or say things she'd end up manipulating.........to the point where i'm questioning myself.

thats how liberals do it........distort truth and facts so much, so often, that reality starts to get fuzzy as well.

You're saying, in general, this has been the response? As opposed to people pushing back on it? I agree. I'm not doing it anymore. I'm done with the charade. I'm done holding my tongue when someone tells me to put on a mask. I'm done accepting the horseshite being shoveled down our throats like pig slop.

Steven Colbert actually picked up on this trend about 10 years ago back when he was still in character as a Republican foil.

Truthiness is something that feels true. This is how the democratic party operates, by using slogans and narratives that feel true. They seek to manipulate your emotions and count on presenting information to you first so your cognitive biases will accept it as truth before you have time to learn any facts.

Factiness: Actually verifiable facts that no one cares about because it doesn't feel true to them. This is the information that comes in after the initial reports that show the truthy narrative is completely bogus, but it doesn't matter because people want to believe the narrative that feels right.

While the downvotes don't bother me in the least, it is worth pointing out that none of our resident Democrats/liberals have rushed in here to refute or argue anything. They just downvote instead of making an argument for their non-senselessness. Of course, there are plenty of more items we could add to the list also.
