Oh the irony is hilarious  Wow.

Oh the irony is hilarious  Wow.

That's what I don't get. See, I can understand (not approve) two kind of trumpists:

a) The FUCK YOU LIBERALS crowd.
b) The "Trump is a disgusting human but it gives me 6 conservative justices and loads of conservative federal judges" crowd.

But this "Trump is a good man that cares for the country and others" malarkey? Who's *that* delusional to actually believe that?

I think nobody. But they feel loyalty requires public showing of such attitudes. Much like going to Church despite being a deplorable petty little shit.

Not all churches are as bad as the Catholic church.

A lot of people.  Part of it is cognitive dissonance and other part is because any thing bad about Trump is fake news.

[Grey Fox]

I think we constantly underestimates how much some people put stock into what the president says. We've seen countless idiots telling us that Trump did a lot of things for them in his 4 years because he told them he did.

The white supremist who believes in the virtue of his cause.

Its always the same though.
With brexit for instance I understood the trigger teh libs crowd and the neo-libs.
Then there was the great mass of people who were brainwashed to believe the nonsense about 350 million a week miraculously being freed up for lovely things, schrodingers immigrant, etc....

There's a lot of people out there whose brains are fundamentally broken. They don't just have a different view on the way the world should be, they don't grasp what the world even is. Its not without reason that there tends to be a huge correlation between education and sane views.

Some good examples of a lack of critical thinking in this article :

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/07/covid-liverpool-britain-inequality-poorer-regions

"The internet, that unreliable friend, has slid into this vacuum. "I just read that 25,000 people die every year from the flu, and we don't have a lockdown for that, do we?", said an irritable man to his wife in the coffee shop queue just after 9am on Monday, idly watching two slightly younger, even more irritable men start fighting outside. "Where did you see that?," she responded. "I dunno, some fella on the internet."

Returning with my kids from a half-term trip into the centre of town last week, the taxi driver informed us of Donald Trump's efforts to "do something about those child traffickers". I asked where he'd heard about this, recognising the reference as a QAnon trope. "I saw this video on YouTube. I mean, you can love him or hate him, but he gets the job done. We could do with some of that over here.""

I think we can all shelve our critical thinking at times; the concern is that many, perhaps a majority, have no real way of exerting critical thinking as they wade through a morass of garbage on the internet.

Such views are astonishing. He absolutely did nothing apart from bullying people who could not fight back.

As I often say, many people enjoy living in a fantasy world. They genuinely prefer it to the real one.

I've heard this all too often about Farage "He's the only politician who tells it like it is!"
No he doesn't. He's one of the least truthful politicians out there.
