So how do educated people eradicate garbage like this that simpletons eat up? How do we hold idiots that put this stuff accountable? We live in a world where national news is saying look at this tweet....look at this conflict but only interview one side.....here we reported on an issue for 5 min and then have 5 biased people translating what they feel happened.
You are right about the Obama stuff. I don't remember the sharia law thing. But I don't doubt that there were some rednecks who would say that. Did any leaders in Congress say that?
My SO works in a field that directly studies how people ingest information. The younger generations are way less susceptible to believing misinformation whereas the older generations have never had to evaluate what they read in that manner. It seems to me that the only way we can eradicate this issue is to just kill them off..
I am not worried about it ever happening. But are you denying that there is a move towards socialism inside the democratic party? Wasn't there just a poll that showed that more Democrats were enthusiastic about socialism than they were about capitalism? You have a New York congressional race and the governor's race being led by open socialist. Plus you have the Bern outs. That doesn't strike me as moderate. But to each their own.
..... We'll set our Trumpets aside for then...
I think thats probably true. A lot of the older generation usually have 1-3 things they support and care about the most----and they stick to them hell or high water. The younger generations tackle a wide range of issues, but in my opinion place an inordinate value on collections of small issues, rather than the big 3-4. Economy, Taxes, Healthcare, and national security. I think the younger generations issue is there is an orgy of information at all times and its used as a conversational weapon instead of just a differing point of view. I think we have a major problem where people are listening to reply instead of listening to understand.My SO works in a field that directly studies how people ingest information.

betWhy not.... Let's do it! But not during basketball season
I think we have a generation of people that are no longer afraid of the label, and they are not afraid of taking the pieces of it that has worked throughout the world and plan on using it to better their country. Capitalism has been abused in the same way socialism has. Neither are bad at their core, but both are susceptible to abuse.
I'm sure the MSM will make something up. My guess is they continue to beat this "monkey" comment to death by Desantis. They love the opportunity to jump straight to racism when it comes to the GOP. Probably because they don't want to discuss the actual issues/policies/positions.
I seem to recall a certain group being pretty upset about a comment containing the word deplorables. They weee so upset about it that they use it today as a slogan or label to differentiate themselves.

You really need to vet your sources better.
No, not very similar.
No, there's really no difference. Everyone jumped all over the phrase because liberals love to play the race card as quickly as possible because it takes the focus off their shitty policies ESPECIALLY in this case where the guy is pushing socialism.
Yup. They really are when you listen to the comments. It has zero to do with race. YOU and other liberals WANT to make it about race. That's it.
When do conservatives ever acknowledge anything is actually race-related?
No, people jumped on it b/c it here b/c of exactly what I said and people are legitimately bothered that he would go there even accidentally.
You are reaching. Republicans can acknowledge when plenty of things are race related. Most of the time when I try to even remotely agree with you on something race related you just completely ignore my post. I'm not sure if you just prefer the fight, or what.
Conservatives don't recognize racism and are unwilling to learn or accept different viewpoints. They go on the attack immediately, calling everything "the race card."
Dat, this is bullshit and you know it. Maybe if you took the time to read the posts where I've tried to agree with you on things you would realize that. But again, you only nit pick which posts to respond to, the ones where you can belittle people who don't agree with you. Whatever, dude.
Now this is racism.... Being sold on Ebay as wall art... I was very surprised, in norcross ga, there's a park called picaninny park. This is in the heart of a technology area...
Because he’s not Trump. Assuming his comment had any racial undertones is wrong, IMO.
