They only do this because they believe the majority of Americans are now blithering idiots. Who is going to prove them wrong? I’m sorry but day to day experience only leads me to believe they are right, most people I talk to are incapable of real logic, they can only seize onto some emotional belief and then spout whatever pops into their heads to try to justify that belief.
The average American’s concept of reasoning reminds me of a classmate of mine in high school fifty years ago. We were talking about presidential elections and I told him about an article I had just read which listed presidents by height and pointed out that in the vast majority of cases the TALLER man won the election. That is purely a matter of statistics but he went off on an incredible rant, accusing me of being “superstitious”. Nothing I could say would get him to address the fact that I was talking about observed facts only, not some wild-eyed superstition.
The passing of years has convinced me that his reaction was provoked because at the time I was very tall and slim and was considered to be rather handsome. He, on the other hand, was of average height or slightly below, fat and nobody’s idea of good looking.
I agree with everything and understand your frustration.
I am pissed off that when I mention issues like fast and furious, the green energy pay off scam, Holder, DOJ they all turn round and say they had not heard anything about it and then ask me if I got it right because if this was going on then the local news would have mentioned it.
When I tell them that their local news CBS, NBC, ABC is biased and defending zero they agree but you can see it in their face that they are not sure and then an hour later dismiss it..
I am afraid that the majority today are just plain dumb and that in itself suits the media the left which is the same really.
Even if I take my dog tot he vet, or stand in line at a store I try and make a comment about this admin, zero etc.
I say it just enough for the person behind me and in front of me to hear.
Hopefully some of them have actually had a brain and gone home to check what I say out.
I did however say what is this crap in a hospital waiting room once and two ladies next to me said “what do you expect this is CNN”
It restored my faith a little that night.
Same here. Trying to educate the dumbed-down populace one by one is a nearly impossible task. Americans like instant images and sound bites. Studying and understanding issues is too in-depth and an interruption of their precious reality-TV time.
