I have a good friend who is a Blue Dog Democrat, meaning that he would even vote for a blue dog so long as it was a democrat. He rejects all news or information from podcasts or any internet source. He relies on the alphabet networks, the NYT, and WaPo for all of his information. When challenged on this, he explains that those sources are professional news organizations, whose reporters dare not misreport anything or there will be consequences. That is, they will lose their jobs. Of course, he is blind to so much that contradicts his belief, such as Russia-Gate, the Hunter Biden Laptop, the origin of COVID, and so many other recent mainstream news hoaxes. This is, for me, an insight into how democrats think and why they believe what they do.
People who are Democrats believe lying is fine if it advances their desires. They won’t say that, but we know they think that because they push things daily that they know are lies.
‘Blue dogs’ are moderates. ‘Yellow dogs’ are the fanatical devotees. Or that’s what each was called traditionally.
