You know why people resort to "conspiracies" and other sources for information? Because people can't trust the media for shite.

Yeah..."conspiracy" like a fraudulent election?

Zero hope for "rational discussion". The 'rationality' ship has sailed.

You’re absolutely right, it is a two way street. I don’t disagree that the liberals on here haven’t been much better.


A two way street? FB, twitter, and google are shutting down free speech and removing other social media options, but president Trump is a dictator and tyrant? You progs need to wake up.

Truth. And this won’t help.

It reinforces the belief held by some that the right is stupid, Southern, and wantonly racist. You see it already.

By acting on that now very firm belief, the left will solidify the right’s belief that it is a persecuted with its very liberty is at stake.

There is no good way out of this cycle.

I think that many of the posters here who support Trump consider themselves “liberals”, too. Trump was the first pro gay marriage Presidential candidate, for example and no one here called him any of the offensive names in your post.

Don’t try to claim the “liberal” high ground.

You’re a fine example of the problem.

You have no knowledge of me, or my standing in life. I can assure you, I’m no OT baller, but I don’t receive any handouts. I would prefer to pay 1-2% higher taxes so assholes like you could have affordable healthcare. But keep on with your ignorance.

JudgeH? Are you actually suggesting that the media narratives we discuss here daily may actually be influenced by some unseen entities with unknown agendas?

Why you cracked pot! What type of tin-foil nutter talk is this?

Fringe conspiracy theorists on either side can be discounted. What can’t be discounted is the lack of American values by even moderate democrats

Amazed at people that fight against

- protecting our borders
- lower taxes
- not killing unborn children
- not valuing laws as written

Those are the values voted against by moderate democrats. There is so much more but you get the gist.

We aren’t talking about Twitter, Facebook or any other social media platforms.

You are right. But if you want to be here and not toe the echo-chamber line, you need a pair. If being called names deters you, debate somewhere else.

Most people, on either side, have no idea what fringe believers think. You are giving people a lot more credit for being politically involved and knowledgeable than they are. How many conservative web sites do you think these center left people in your example ever look at? Probably none.

"Conspiracy theory" was coined by the CIA.

Middle of the roaders and leftists almost destroyed the country.

Almost.

Actually you’re wrong. Trump never once supported gay marriage, and there are tons of interviews with him, where he specifically said he was against gay marriage. Try again.

That’s real detente there, Henry. You’re a real warrior for unity.

Why don’t you be curious and not judgmental there? Why would someone believe in things you don’t?

And if you can’t understand that, you don’t really know what you believe. Maybe you are part of the problem.

I can't help but notice you omit which actual conspiracies " need to go ".

If you're speaking of the Trump + Russia collusion, or the 'interference ' of the 2016 election, by all means, yes.

And if you're speaking of the lie of Charlottesville, where Trump supposedly gave cover and praise for "NAZIS", again, I agree.

But it seems those and more establishment lies aren't being retracted , even a little.

Why? Why can’t we just be civil? Why does name calling equal good debate skills? Most of us on this site are actually neighbors in real life, we mostly live in Louisiana, MS and Alabama. Would you walk up to someone wearing a Biden shirt in Rouses and start screaming that they are a pedophile? I try to treat everyone like I might actually see them in person one day.

Preach on. I love Trump and was really sad to see him lose. I hate the left wing nuts who put their whole lives’ energies into seeing Trump removed. But conspiracy theorists on this site are almost as bad as those left wing psychos. And they lost us the Senate. And hopefully that Senate loss doesn’t cost us the USSC. frick you morons. And I agree an untrustworthy media is a major part of the problem. frick them also. But frick you too.

AU raptor we all know they have their own wacko conspiracy theories and outright lies but shouldn't we hold ourselves to a higher standard? By all means let's go after voting irregularities and Biden/Burisma but all the people crap is just nonsense. Lin Wood did way more damage than he helped in the long run.

True Dat

I consider myself more conservative than most here, far more so than ever vote for anyone as morally depraved as DJT. Who considers the two party system as evil. That the 2nd is equal with free speech. That clean water, clean air, and freedom from excessive taxation are basic inalienable rights. And that endless welfare is immoral to everyone.

And every time you disagree with the group mind speak here you get labeled liberal and harassed across non-associated threads... and even different forums.
