Once people get TDS, it's very communicable to weak minded main stream news watching/reading folks. Trumps not a saint but he's not Hitler either. Politicians on left given unlimited lying/deceit ability. Trump isn't perfect but media paints him out as the anti-Christ. It's all silly.
That's true. Totally true.
However, the Trumpists are just as weak-minded and gullible.
I have friends who have announced on FB and other places that they are "going underground, everyone be safe, things are happening soon" and think they know some inside info about all the behind-scenes maneuvering by the Trump team.
When nothing could be further from the truth...they are simply being duped by all these BS claims about fraud that get repeated and retweeted and the 'true believers' buy into them because these things are saying what they desperately want to hear.
These are very smart people, otherwise, but they turn their brains off critical thinking mode when it comes to Trump's BS. Same way the left does when it comes to overlooking the media bias and anything the Dems say......they're really no different, just two sides of the same coin.
Used to not be like that so much. Pubs would turn on their own and attack if they found a rat, like State fans used to, for the most part. Dems never really did that, much like UNC fans....they supported their party no matter what they did.
If you're a fair-minded person with an open, honest mind...then IMO you cannot do such things. You have to call out BS (or at least admit that's what it is) when you see it, even if it's from someone you have supported.
I support NC State, but it's past time for folks to be calling out Doeren for his crappy recruiting and coaching....State fans are known for this, but there has been a swell of resistance from the "mediocrity is good enough" folks to not tell the truth.
Same as the Trumpers......I've said this before, but if Trump was a Dem and did/said the EXACT same things he's done the last 4 years....these same Trumpers would hate him and have him labeled pretty much the same way Dems do now. Simply because he wouldn't be their guy.
It's sad to see such unthinking partisanship. These are the same folks who cry "Socialism is coming, they're gonna take your guns", yet they fall in lock step with anything Trump says or does. Really not much different than that they claim to be afraid of.
