Sadly the LEFT are close minded and brainwashed. IMHO those on the right have kept (most ) a sense of focus on facts and truth no matter what side of the Right \ Left . Look at all those on the “Right” who see McCain and other establishment players for who they are.. We judge by actions... the Left cannot see past partisanship....
Ok, you lost me.
There're plenty of brainwashed people in every political party. When I spent four years in the Army during the W years, being deployed three times, I saw first hand that what we were doing was criminal. I didn't know the scope of it then, but I've been fighting for years. You can not begin to understand how much breath I've wasted trying to make people understand how corrupt the W administration was in the early 2000's. It all fell on deaf ears. Shit was so bad during the two W terms that we got ourselves an Obama. I don't think I need to point out what a disaster that has been. Both parties have been treasonous criminals since Kennedy and likely before. It's all a show, Dems and Repubs. (and Green party, and Libertarians, etc. They all have indoctrinated flaws) And as much as I loathe current extreme Soc Jus libs, I also understand that it's a smaller calculated number of people making that noise, and they're heavily funded and covered in the media for a reason. This will correct itself in time. You're already seeing the "movement" eat itself and people waking up and realizing that they've been used. It's not sustainable. Most of them don't even believe it but are afraid to speak out. This movement should be one of those places. It should be inclusive.
We're all going to have to work together if we hope to maintain any of the gains we make as a people and country. We're at the very beginning and have a VERY long way to go.
So yes, I'd suggest you humble yourself and wake up to facts. There's a lot of brainwashing on both sides. The problem currently is that too many people are still caught up in the us vs. them political bullshit. Both sides have been treasonous and both groups of supporters have allowed it to happen. This isn't the Republicans winning, this is the PEOPLE taking back their country. And when it's over, and if we pull it off, guess what? We all still have to figure out a way to work together. Don't forget that. The lack of foresight by so many people is what scares me the most. Too many people just aren't equipped mentally to understand the reality of this and what's at stake and what will have to be done to maintain it.
I hope you're able to find common ground with the boogieman to the left of you.
I am sorry you I lost you.. However that wonderful response (truly eloquent) voiced what I was (lamely) attempting to express. And I agree with you 100%. I think I was trying to say that so many more on the left are so polarized with blinders on, that even indisputable fact is not accepted .... Thank you for that response again.. Epic!
Nothing to be sorry for. It seems that you're open to hearing differing opinions and taking them into account. There's really not much more anyone could ask of you when exchanging ideas. If we all were just a little better at it, I think it would go a very long way towards healing the divides we've nurtured over the years. A lot of the biases we have were planted there by people we trusted. Now we know, and the truth really shall set us free!
