“It nearly matches up to other postings of other Liberals I know...”

I play in a rock cover band and have a wide circle of liberal friends - aged hippies. They are very nice people when the subject is music, but politics turns them into complete a$$holes. I experience the same group think, with identical talking points coming up like clockwork.

My guess as to where they get their marching orders is that they all love the Bill Mahr show and other late night shows that I never watch. Bill Mahr or a celebrity guest will say something and they will all repeat it robotically the next day, word for word. They all nod to each other in agreement and if you argue with them, they have a snarky response at the ready, which has also been provided by Bill Mahr & co.

I no longer visit FB for this reason. I have learned to wriggle out of conversations whenever possible - debating with brainwashed people is pointless.

Every once in a while a liberal claims to be open-minded and if they seem sincere I may give it a shot, but I always regret it - their attempt at open mindedness may be genuine, but at the very first opportunity, they fail miserably.

As Alan Dershowitz puts it, they always fail the “putting the shoe on the other foot” test. They are simply unable to hold Democrat politicians or Leftist celebrities to the same standards as Republicans or conservatives - and they seem totally unaware of their own inconsistencies.

You have been silenced. Watch “The Red Pill”. Find your voice.

I’ve been in the construction business forever. If you change the group from aging hippie liberals to union construction workers it is the same exact scenario.

I thought Colbert and Maher were once comedians? Do they do comedy anymore of just political commentary?

My sister sometimes post on Facebook about Kavanaugh and usually I ignore but sometimes I just can’t let her get away with her smears. Try to keep it much more civil and respectful than on my fake facebook account.
