That mindset is on both ends of the spectrum.
BoTh SidEs
I didn’t say both sides I said both ends. Modern day conservatives are extremists. They aren’t very different from extremist lefties. Guess you’ve never met crazy commies before.
I have zero interest in your silly weasel wording. You absolutely suggested both sides are the same. Bye.
They didn't. You just decided to interpret it that way.
Wow. You really owned me with that witty come back. Well done.
That's because there's more crazy conservatives than crazy commies.
Sure. But it's the dominant opinion in the GOP. It has to be; the majority of their policy positions are at odds with the academic community.
Their only response to that is to allege vague, unsubstantiated conspiracy theories about sweeping fraud and corruption. Of course fraud and corruption exist, but it's a matter of scale. The kind of conspiracy they're talking about would require absolute secrecy across millions of people all over the world. That simply does not happen.
This is one of the main reasons I left the party after 15+ years and being raised in it. It always bothered me that most of the smart people who'd done the hard work to understand their disciplines were not Republicans and it turns out there actually was a good reason for that.
Well yes but actually no. For example when Republicans talk conspiracies like a giant elite pedo ring.., it actually exists. But instead of it being beneath a Pizza hut it's on Jeffrey Epsteins island.
Furthermore we have all been able to observe the insane amount of coordinated propaganda coming from all our mainstream media lately to manufacture consent for israel's Genocide. Especially the consistent usage of biased language in favor of israel.
All of our big media conglomerates being owned by a few select wealthy elites sounds like a conspiracy but there's very clear ownership diagrams that show these links too.
Which is of course the real problem, liberals can't debunk stupid Republican conspiracy theories because it would require them to acknowledge some very uncomfortable truths.
Both sides of what?
Conservatives are actually dumb though and they're so dumb they will never admit they've been duped and then most wealthy people will perpetuate the mentality for their own benefit
