[progressive hunter]

[citygator]

You aren't even trying now, troll.

Please. I dont see how you guys can claim to love america when you hate everything about it.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha, name one demofk they've gone after.

You guys sound crazy. Trump appointed the current FBI leaders.

 

[Libby von H]

Everything in this great country is corrupt according to the people who think they love this country. What is to love if you hate and distrust everything in it?

No one said blindly trust. The far right swore Trump was in command of the military after Biden became president but you didnt see the left wing running around claiming the military was a deep state coup organization. Nope. They know what a moronic conspiracy theory actually is. Its a right phenomenon.

Yet you just gave us the Primal Left Myth!!!!
Hillary was the first with voting allegations.

Poor joey.

No comprehension skills
At all.

Part II of my disussion on the American right asks the question: If right wingers love America, why dont they trust American institutions? It stands to reason that if you love something you tend to love the fruit it produces, right? Right wingers claim they love America more than their counterparts but have expressed utter contempt for all of its institutions. How can something so revered also be so reviled?

A partial list of untrustworthy institutions:

• The American press
• Doctors
• Scientists like the CDC
• Educators and universities
• Environmental experts like the EPA
• Government leaders and administrators
• The Election process
• The legal system
• The actual government

The distrust is so visceral that right wing conspiracies are now commonplace. The article below talks about Fox News’ role in this predicament. As you can see from the chart below it is entirely an American phenomenon.

Why dont right wingers trust American Institutions?

Fox News has destroyed American confidence in itself - Kevin Drum

Collapse of trust in government is a purely American phenomenon. Why? Because we have Fox News and the others don't. Oh, they have tabloids and conservative newspapers and so forth, but nothing like Fox News, which makes its living by spreading outrage over the way the country is run.

View attachment 934907

The power of Fox News is truly spectacular. Outrage sells, and the fact that one of the two major parties amplifies Fox uncritically means it has a surprisingly large influence in setting the agenda for the mainstream media too.

The truth is that US institutions mostly operate about as well as they ever have. But Fox pushes outrage over Dr. Fauci and trust in the CDC plummets. They push outrage over Donald Trump's loss in 2020 and trust in elections plummets. They go all in on CRT and DEI and trust in schools plummets. They push climate denialism and trust in science plummets. They insist that the rest of the news media are liberal pawns and trust in the very institution that explains reality plummets.

Has there ever been an institution like Fox News that works so relentlessly from within to destroy faith in a country by its citizens? It's a real-life version of what conservatives thought the Communist Party was in the '50s. And we all just let it happen.

Because American institutions (supported by both parties elites or leaders) supported bailing out banks and repossessing houses, and it's the common wisdom (and imo the reality) that most American kids are not going to have materially better lives than their parents, and neither pol party had the will or ability to fix it.

The WHO and WEF control them, trump is not in control. hahahahahahahahahaha, you have no idea how it works yet.
citygator , I bet you think Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK!!!!!

 

[Markle]

No offense but the group claiming that the economy is crashing and going into recession for the last 4 years predicting that we are out of economic 'gas' is only so concerning. More funny actually.

Yeah, this is funny,

Please. I dont see how you guys can claim to love america when you hate everything about it.

No, we hate what Democrats are doing to our country,

Cognitive Dissonance!

It really has become a sort of mass psychosis with the MAGA crowd.

The hate everything about America while claiming to love America.

Perhaps what they truly love is their child's eye view of America that they believed existed when they were growing up. Growing up is a bitch!

Perhaps maga voters believe they've been lied to by both parties, so they'll go with Trump's truth instead.

demofks don't believe in truths as explained by the NPR CEO. Take a listen to her state that truth isn't relevant. Hilarious fkwad.



Fact is, that demofks think only what they say is the truth no matter the circumstances or findings. Just is. Like Post #171 states!!

Those issues were caused by rampant Republican policies designed to give all the wealth to a privileged few. That privileged few have used that money to control the government and everything else that money can buy.

The Democrats are far more likely to change the wealth distribution, while the Republicans will only make it worse.

On the border. Your damn skippy they lied. Been that way before we knew Trump existed.

You and the Swamp want open borders
