The Rotting of the Republican Mind

Post by Deleted User 4520 » Sat Nov 28, 2020 10:45 am

Here is a wonderful opinion piece from the NY Times. Not sure if you can read it if you aren't subscribed but you might be allowed a few free views.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/26/opin ... e=Homepage

An excerpt:

For those awash in anxiety and alienation, who feel that everything is spinning out of control, conspiracy theories are extremely effective emotional tools. For those in low status groups, they provide a sense of superiority: I possess important information most people do not have. For those who feel powerless, they provide agency: I have the power to reject “experts” and expose hidden cabals. As Cass Sunstein of Harvard Law School points out, they provide liberation: If I imagine my foes are completely malevolent, then I can use any tactic I want.

It's the Dunning Kruger effect. Everyone suddenly became COVID experts, even the fucking My Pillow guy. Facebook Medical degrees are everywhere. Their mindset is you don't have to listen to the experts if you are one yourself.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

What you call CONSPIRACY THEORIES are actually INCONVENIENT TRUTHS for your side. When Demonicrats call something a CONSPIRACY THEORY, it's believability SKYROCKETS.
Disagreeing with Communists is NOT an impeachable offense.

Those who refuse to drain the swamp are doomed to drown in it.

For people with low IQ’s and a need to have some control over their lives when larger forces are at work that they cannot control these crazy ideas work great. For the rest of us you just look certifiably insane.

As if the NY Times could (or would) be able to understand a conservative or a Republican?? That's like asking a two year old to understand calculus!

That’s because it takes a lot of brain power to wrap your head around the wacko ideas on the right these days.

I agree. It's disgusting to peddle cures with no proven results while people die.

I don't think so. https://www.rawstory.com/2020/11/my-pil ... il-report/

And he is also peddling the stupid oleandrin supplement as a cure for COVID.

You know a thing or two about disgusting things. It's too bad there's no cure for people like you and what you have admitted to in the past.
Donald Trump was and is the best president this country has ever had. And he will return to glory as our leader again.

I don't recall mentioning what you did to that poor boy in my post, did I?

I do feel that your reflections are starting to sink in, as you have removed that small note about being bi and proud from your footer, son.

There's a character limit in signatures. I wanted to add a quote. I decided to switch things up. You can fuck off.
