Why are many people so partisan?

[AgMech Cowboy]

It's because of the hate filled media, MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS.  Same thing in Australia with the government sponsored, ABC, versus Sky News Australia.  The news channels speak lies and hyperbole false fact checks.

[Ben Zioner]

When it comes to policies I can pick my preferences from either side. But when I see a bunch of idiots and a madman, who dreams of a eugenist colony on Mars, leading a superpower I am worried.

True. Many of our miseducated members indoctrinated in socialism in their nanny states suck up that sh*t and then, since boring old farts no one wants to listen to, come here to parrot back, rant, hate, assert imagined superiority and posture as "elites." 🤣

I am no American taxpayer. But if I would know that I will pay next year maybe 10k less tax and I would know that Trump and Musk make each 1k extra from every 10k saved, I think I would still like that idea.

I am a Trump supporter because the Left, which is in the end a violent, rascist, antisemitic and anti human ideology has become too powerful, and whither goest the Left, also goest hate, violence and death.

 

The ideology must be eradicated.

Just another nasty and toxic rant for one of the most hateful men on this platform. And another spectacularly misunderstood concept that tens of millions of Americans are very Centrist Democrats, who do not align themselves on any level with the progressive left. Your blindness and hatred makes that absolutely impossible for you to see. My heart goes out to you. Must be tough living like that.

Look at the suggestion of RFK for health secretary.

Here's an anti-vaxxer with a death count behind him.

 

Great appointment. Clean up the corruption, curtail the obesity epidemic, etc.

Reps & Dems

are

2 opposing RELIGIONS

 

Choose one and enter the red OR blue echo chamber telling you the other lot are the source of all evil.  Never the twain shall meet.

 

Because the Al Gore Rhythms are set up to keep you online you will be fed whatever confirms your biases. 

 

Divide to conquer.

 

Fan fact: In reality BOTH of these allegedly different parties are 100% Israel First as you can see from Trump's picks and Biden's cabinet 👍

 Unfortunately, the "...tens of millions of Americans you claim are very Centrist Democrats, who do not align themselves on any level with the progressive left" vote for the progressive left.

Trump's picks perhaps, but Biden's cabinet? I think not.

Guess you admire famous Leftists and humanists such as Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao.

 

The Lefts record speaks for itself. I don't hate the centrist useful idiots, only the cadre.

But do you think the idea to make the government more efficient and cut cost is a good idea - even if they come from Trump and Musk?

It's very natural for people to look at a person's previous decisions and statements to form an opinion of what that person will do and say in the future.  And, when an obvious lying person makes an offer, it is very reasonable to question the true nature and actual value of that offer.  I hope you can connect the dots from this point forward.

Having a narcissist serial liar convicted criminal as their leader is a very bad idea.

Or do you think that is smart?

 

Known for hyperbole and occasionally misstating something. If we exclude narcissists from politics and taking all the abuse that comes with it, then we'd have no governments. But if you liked the narcissist, then you'd have absolutely no problem, so it isn't per se the issue.

 

Biden even lied about his son's death. Leftist media continually lies about Trump. And he's not "convicted," or a felon. That's merely a DNC talking point for the yokels, widely repeated here. 

 

People elected Trump to carry out the policies in the Republican Party platform, and he seems to be positioning himself to do just that against powerful entrenched interests. So if he succeeds, then you might think it was smart of those who support the policies to have elected him.

 

If you don't like the policies, then it is of course the righteous duty of any self-respecting forum poster to call "stupid" (and worse) those who do--and demonize the man implementing them, no matter how well he succeeds. Dogs need their fleas.

You claimed Biden's cabinet is 100% Israel first, which is ridiculous, and then to "prove" it, you point out Jews in the administration. 

 

If Biden's cabinet 100% Israel first, the conflict would have been over by now, and Biden would never have removed the sanctions on Iran.

15 of Biden's 25 cabinet roles -Apologies I meant approx 70% -

But yes, your hero works for the 4x2s as does Trump

Trump hired Musk to make the US government more efficient.

I would have though everybody should be delighted by such a move. Or is there anybody out there who does not think the US and many other governments waste too much money?

The most important things is what are they going to spend less money on?

Fighting wars or education for instance.

The goals of a government frequently diverge from what a business plan would advise.  The government often has to choose the least bad alternative whereas a business can just abandon a losing market presence.

 

I don't think business persons necessarily make better governmental choices than those without business experience.

Actually, he is often quite reasonable in things that do not involve Trump.
