I distinctly remember the reporters from multiple major networks last year talking about "mostly peaceful protest" while cities burned behind them.Civilized said:ncsualum05 said:
But here's the deal there will be no peace and calm. People aren't going to forget this. You can't just say... wait a minute nevermind let's all move on b/c a few nuts stormed the capitol building. The fact still remains that an election was stolen by fraudulent means. We now have a major election problem in this country b/c we have taken our election laws in certain states and pissed on them with no consequence. We have proof of problems and no court wanted to hear it. The state legislatures heard it and ultimately did nothing.
Our biggest problem in this country is an alarming lack of grasp on reality by tens of millions.
There are no facts that point to the election being stolen. None.
This is what scares me most moving forward. Tens of millions of Americans are looking at a math problem and have convinced themselves not only that 1+1=3, but that the other team is covering up that "fact."
Really bad inputs, really bad outputs.
This started the day Trump was inaugurated and started using "alternative facts" on a national stage to declare that his inauguration was historically well-attended when it was in reality a tiny crowd for an inauguration.
The last four years have been a barrage of alternative facts, and he's uttered them so much that his supporters (and the anti-letters who care more about team than country) fully believe those alternative facts.
America's bull**** barometer is so far out of whack that 1/3 of our country, or more, thinks that Trump's lies are the truth.
That inability or unwillingness to see through completely delusional bull**** is shocking is absolutely the thing that scares me most moving forward.
That's just as big of a problem as anything that Trump has done, if not bigger. People only want to accept one side of the issue as truth. The fact is that Trump screams about alternative facts and fake news constantly but every media outlet gives him all the ammo that he will ever need for it through their dishonest reporting.
Seeing first hand how the media has treated Obama and the rest of the democrat politicians and causes versus how they have treated Trump and republican politicians as well as their causes let me know everything I needed about the bias of our news reporters. For god sake Obama had reporters investigated and wiretapped but no one cared about it.
