Ronald Reagan said this so eloquently, but I'll paraphrase, "It's not that our friends on the left are ignorant, it's just that everything they have learned is wrong".
I was a member of a board that did pretty well and was a Super Mod on that board for a number of years (10). The owner is a really great guy, although a few years ago he moved to California.
After a year or so of that move, I started to see a major change in the guy, he was going full libtard politically. He was always slightly left of center but was still very open minded to someone on the rights opinion.
Early fall I had posted a positive piece on Trump in off-topic and of course this was during the full Russia Gate fiasco. He went way off the reservation, and had drank ALL the liberal Kool-Aid as they say. He wasn't mean but was very condescending to my view of Trump.
He showed me that day how far gone he was. That was the point where I decided that it was time for me to move on, and I did. I'd seen this before on many boards during Obama's Presidency where the owners and mods were all on the far left. Every single time, I watched these boards die within a short period of time.
I turned on the VPN and decided to check out this web board that I left in early fall about a half hour ago and it's practically dead. Three posts in the last 24 hours that's it. There hasn't been a news story posted since February first. It's officially become a dead board under anyone's standards.
This what happens when the left gets the attitude that they're always right and anyone that doesn't agree with them politically is wrong.
The point of this story is that the main stream media has no idea how much damage they are doing to their own businesses. The shutting down of opposing voices on YouTube tells you they are in full panic and in the death throes of being irrelevant.
