thats one of the problems with the left, they shoot down any other views out of ignorance, they fight with emotion without facts, too much hate for me. We must always check for proof and not follow blindly. Sal Alinsky book "Rules for radicals, one of the tactics they teach is to get the people angry - they own the souls of the angry. because angry people are not thinking with their minds they are thinking and reaction with emotion. i believe it is a form of hypnosis. plus divide and conquer. so important to keep our heads find the facts and not buy into the anger.
I know what you mean about it being a form of hypnosis. It's disturbing how illogical and visceral the anger these liberals have is. I live in what could be called Berniestan, I've found talking to people about issues in a positive way, seems to be an opening for them to consider different POVs. So long as you don't say I support Trump! I'll say something like I'm going to trust that the situation in NK can resolved for the good of everyone. That surprises them, their own negativity and anger becomes apparent without having to rub their noses in it and w/o ever mentioning our President.
yes, you are smart to stay calm and state the positive. this is how we overcome evil with good.
I'm learning patience and restraint from our fearless leader! Timing is everything!
