“To this 72 year old guy, it sure looks like this is one real sick, decayed country that cannot find a decent number of good men (and women) to help this President bring the government officials to JUSTICE.”
Same with this 66 year old guy. This morning, I asked the wife if she thought there would ever be a time - maybe a few years down the road - when the Trump haters might finally have to admit they were wrong about Donald Trump? She said I shouldn’t hold my breath.
I am simply astonished at the mind boggling disconnect between the Trump that I see with my own eyes - and the version of Trump that all of these haters apparently see. I really don’t get it. I really didn’t think it possible that so many people were capable of such abysmal lack of independent thinking - such herd mentality - such group think.
But they are. So many, many people parrot the same exact phrases and talking points to weigh in about what a terrible person Trump is. Whatever the hate de jour is, they are all repeating it word for word.
I didn’t think this many people would let themselves be so easily mind f*cked by the MSM, but they are.
The one silver lining around this dark cloud of Trump hate is that if people are so easily hypnotized by the Left, perhaps breaking the spell might not be that difficult either.
I know, wishful thinking - but if they are seeing the same man I am seeing day after day - isn’t it at least a possibility that President Trump could win them over the way he won me over? And if they are seeing the same fake news talking heads I’m seeng on CNN, etc. - isn’t it possible that eventually the fog will lift, and they will be seen for what they really are?
Wow! so many people including you are missing the point, it is not Donald Trump they hate, change the President’s name to any other republican’s name and the same exact hate would still exist!
Please people, wake up, THEY HATE US! They will lie, cheat, murder and do anything they can to get back in power, laws and rules have no meaning to liberals. There are no good people on their side.
The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)I’ve never been a “liberal” even when I was a youth. And yet I really only learned about “bias in the media” during the Carter Administration - when I was nearing forty. But we all come to FR to pool our (individually insufficient) “incredulity.”Note that skepticism and cynicism are two different things. If someone is cynical about something, he becomes naive about its opposite. And being naive is of course the opposite of skepticism. So cynicism is not simply “extreme skepticism.”
