If the left had to debate on a level playing field they would be well and truly screwed. They need special rules and for fact based posters to be handicapped to be able to seemingly participate. Sounds pathetic doesn't it? For good reason😅

 

Now, if any Trump haters are able to explain why some acronyms such as TACO and MAGA which are used by lefties as a political insult are "good" and encouraged, while others used by based posters such as - oh, I can't even write it - to highlight the lefts derangement and irrationality are verboten, well, we're all ears....

Could you also comment on topic?

 

Let's look at a real research paper.   @bubblegum  @gargamon @BLMFem

 

I found the data you are looking for. 

 

 

While we observe evidence of partisan motivated conspiracy theory endorsement in all instances, we do not observe a tendency for Republicans or conservatives to engage in such reasoning to a greater extent than Democrats and liberals. Regarding partisanship, in five of the 10 tests, the correlations are not significantly different from one another, indicating symmetry (i.e., p > 0.05). In the other five, Democrats evidence a greater propensity for partisan motivated conspiracy endorsement than Republicans. A similar pattern emerges for ideology. In four of the 10 tests, the correlations are not statistically significantly different from one another. In the remaining six, liberals engage in greater motivated conspiracy theory endorsement than conservatives.

So when clinton calls trump an illegitimate president & a Russian asset, is that classed as a conspiracy or lies?

 

Are you seriously posting a wiki list of things trump has said but labelled them all as conspiracies?

I’m good thanks. The weather is better now. Earlier it was raining really hard here in sansai and wiped out my baby tomato plants. And then I remembered that someone said that bad things like that happen because of Trump, well since I’m a hard core conservative I figured it doesn’t really bother me and give it a pass. But it got me thinking that maybe that conspiracy is just a big distracting lie and it’s just a bunch blowhard miserable liberals stirring up a bunch of bs spittle wind my way.

No, we saw you ages ago

With many people, once they got attached to a theory, it was hard to get them detached. They’d screen out unhelpful facts, invent favorable ones, and ignore contradictions in their own claims. Look at those Sandy Hook, multiple fraud convictions, and Jan. 6th truthers, babbling about false flags and crisis actors and all the rest. When people were motivated enough to believe something, they were going to believe it no matter what. There was no such thing as a bridge too far.

 

I refuse to put on winter tires because:

• It’s my car, my choice, my freedom.

• The effectiveness of winter tires is not proven, except by studies carried out by the manufacturers (like I’m supposed to trust them).

• My neighbor Bob had an accident even after putting on winter tires.

• Some drivers are already on their 3rd set of tires, which proves their ineffectiveness.

• We do not know what the tires are made of.

• The tire manufacturers scare us with winter just to enrich themselves.

• In fact, I read on the internet that the tire giants invented snow and spread it at night when you sleep.

• If I have winter tires, the government can track me in the snow.

 Your point?  Other than to proclaim that you support the USA but cheer it's destruction under the baby wipe residue that is branded as "Trump".  

 

 But to address the OP, you've got to be a complete idiot to support Trump.

I don't support Trump but hope he does his job better this time. My sister in law is a very intelligent person, along with my nephew and niece, and my daughter and son in law in the US. They support Trump and are also pretty bright. It isn't really about intelligence but a belief in someone that either helped you before, or a belief that he's just  better then the other choice we had, which wasn't too strong. Some are blinded by the truth, but still hopeful.

For any chosen category there are some really stupid people.  Those who follow ideologies without thinking tend to have a larger category of stupid than categories that require thought with some rationality, logic & coherence.  Examples of such categories are groups such as MAGA, SWP, Nazis, Evangelicals, ISIS, Boko Haram, Southern Baptists, Earth First, etc. (this list is not exhaustive).  Those with extreme viewpoints that deliberately minimise rational thought as a control strategy.

I don't think all MAGA are "dumb." I think most of them have just been conned by Trump 😞, but there are some that must actually have the same values as he does. These, I don't know if you could call them "dumb" or just egotistical, narcissistic, and egocentric. 😡

How dumb are you really Maga?

 

Apparently, not as dumb as Democrats, according to longtime Dem supporter and JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon. who said this on Thursday:

 

“I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they’re idiots. I always say they have big hearts and little brains,” Dimon said reportedly during a foreign-ministry event in Dublin.

 

“They do not understand how the real world works. Almost every single policy rolled out failed.”

Two people.  I agree with him, and have for years.  Long before I heard it from him.  Unlike lefties who get their jabbering points from the likes of Rachel, Whoopie and Joy.  I just love the montages of the lefty minions all repeating the same mantra on the same day.  Then expect to be taken seriously.  I guess they send out memos.

Do you think conspiracy theories only happen on the right? 

While 'Non-Fact Based Reporting' occurs on both the left and the right, the number and degree of non-fact based right-wing media outlets outnumber the left-wing ones in both number and in the degree that they simply make up facts.
