My 86y old Dad was trying to tell me "but it's Chuck Schumer holding back the vote". When I explained that the three branches of govt are controlled by the Republicans he didn't want to hear it.
Years ago my dad said Obama left the economy in tatters after his 2nd term. I started opening my laptop and said we'd go to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' website so we could look at the hard data over time. He changed the subject and walked away.
I don't really talk to him anymore unless necessary.
They're brainwashed to a degree that can't be fixed. They're gone.
It is not feasible to deprogram over 100 million people. Not sure what comes next.
Nope. And typically when people are deprogrammed it's because they make the commitment to themselves to do it. That's not going to happen here.
Honestly, what I'm assuming comes next is that over the course of our lives this country will turn into something between North Korea and Russia. There's just too many low IQ brainwashed fools and not enough people left over willing to do what needs to be done to fix this. And this isn't WW2. The rest of the world isn't going to step in to sort it out for us.
especially with russian propaganda reiniforcing the right wing MSMs, which almost all the msm in the US.
thats exactly how these low information people react when confronted, they stop talking about it, they pick up the habit from FOX, to avoid hearing about the truth, so they can keep thier lie going.
It is amazing how the democrats are simultaneously incompetent and weak yet at the same time they still control everything even when the right is in charge of everything.

...just like Russia!
Those people are taking all of our welfare, and all the jobs!
Oh, and you just had that neurosurgeon job all-lined up, eh?
Republicans have given zero concessions in the spending bill, yet half the country voted for Democrats. Democrats are asking for basically nothing, yet Republicans won't compromise even slightly
It's not a coincidence that we have yet another shutdown under Trump. It's a strong arm tactic Republicans use to give zero concessions when passing spending bills
Punishing Americans as a strategy. Seems like something an enemy of our nation would do.
Hell the last CR we had the GOP pulled back and reallocate funds that the Dems specifically wanted. So even if they do get concessions what can stop the same thing from happening twice?
It's quite something when they'd rather listen to some political hack, than to facts and their own kids.
They dont like it when facts and logic get in the way of their hatred.
