Former President Donald Trump’s supporters say they hold him as a source of true information over their family, friends, and religious leaders, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll out on Sunday.

    You’re exactly why problems don’t ever get fixed because all you want to do is some knee-jerk reaction to a situation instead of trying to figure out WHY something happens.

    You THINK you are better than these people, but you really aren’t.

    If this was 100+ years ago, you would be the dipshit yelling at the Germans for starting WW1 and would be actively repressing them even further… which of course is exactly why WW2 happened.

    And I say all this as someone who is absolutely not the type that believes in forgiveness nor do I believe in “live and let live”. What do I believe in, however, is that when an individual falls for this shit, it is on them. But when we have some 20 to 30 million people who have fallen for this shit, it is a systemic problem that needs to be dealt with by going after the institutional and environmental problems that created it.

      I am better then people that think the world is 6000 years old and we don’t have to worry about climate change because Jesus is coming back soon or people that think Biden is going to declare martial law and round up Christians and conservatives into FEMA death camps (although I’m starting to come around to this idea) or people that think Jew NWO lizard people are deploying gay chemicals via aircraft chemtrails to turn people gay to reduce the world’s population.

          Good luck with your systemic approach.

          Like I said in my original comment unless you’re secretly a left-wing billionaire that is going to dump hundreds of millions of dollars into building a competing left media ecosystem then you’re going to make zero progress with the systemic approach.

          The only approach that will work is more people voting until the 20 to 30 million are irrelevant.
