For every single misleading or erroneous MSM story, there are dozens (if not hundreds) being touted by Q.

Then the rage against social media platforms...that created them.

It's the craziest thing I've seen. "Normal" people getting swept up into madness, completely foregoing the use of their frontal lobe.

Psychology Today did a pretty interesting study on why conservatives are the way they are, distrustful of others, holding their beliefs as priority over fact, etc. It had to do with the way they're wired and the order their body's response to the perceived threats travels through the brain. Ill have to see if I can find it. It was interesting because it spoke to why they're such a challenge to convince, argue, and debate with. The belief systems they have are so strong that new thought or new info has little impact to their formed beliefs. Super susceptible to echo chambers, conspiracy theories, etc.

And you see it in the forum posts.

I didn't find the one I'm looking for, but these are along the same topic of trying to figure out this side of the spectrum.

Seems like you just described the dim voter who votes to eff themselves, not in a good way. As far as the CT term, why don't you google that term. It's for people that believe all the fake news stories that msm issue.

Certainly not the crackpot morons who believe in Q. Those donkeys are the true patriots, am I right?

It takes substandard intellect, mild paranoia and borderline mental illness to buy that garbage.

But yeah, you do you.

Exhibit A of CDS. Wondering how many times you smashed the triangle on me.

Feel free to ask a mod. I'll give you a hint though...it coincides with the number of fact-based posts you have here and it rhymes with "hero."

Maybe Q can write about it. Maybe it was Oprah.

Quite honestly, Trump needs to die. A heart attack would be wonderful. God missed his shot w/ COVID there...thats how I know god doesn't exist (other than being a rational human being). Whenever it is that he flatlines, drinks are on me, wherever I am.

If you're going to try and discredit something it is best to learn about it first.
Billion-dollar companies worried about little old Q, why?

Hahahaha, you actually are a Q believer? That explains sooo much. I almost feel bad for you now.

How so?

I'm not a liberal. I'm a slightly-left-leaning, former Republican, current Democrat who has a complete hatred of DJT and basically a single-issue voter of being not on the side of anti-minority racism. Thats why I vote Democrat.

Because we're a nation full of gullible, conspiracy loving idiots like you who buy into garbage theory.

Regardless, we should all be concerned about wild misinformation being sold as fact.

Keep going off your intel though...mental illness is hilarious in print.

So the fake news got to you. Maybe you should look into what he did for minorities instead of gobbling up what the china news network tells you what to believe.

I see my stalker has made another appearance.

The first and last paragraphs are on point.

The middle one lost me. I'm not concerned. I figure if we get to a point where most voters are that gullible, I'll be living on a yacht anyway. Easy money right there.

You account for a lot of posts in this thread. It’s kind of hard to avoid your stupidity.

The incredible part is that he was banished from this thread for 7 months.

He's only been back spouting insane diarrhea for about a week.

It's expert level idiocy.

You've quoted me in other threads, so yeah the stalker label fits.
the only thing you guys are going to do is get a vacation and possibly get this thread closed.
So keep at it.

Remember like I said in May, I'll be the last one standing when it's all said and done.

These are actual, real rights. And yet, the argument is that somehow, Trump is stripping rights by not allowing some people to join the military. Do you people hear yourselves? Do you understand what it is you are saying and what it is you are trying to convey? Shutting people up and locking them inside is totally OK, but how dare you stop a transgender person from joining the military!!!!

Dear Lord, I need strength today. All you can provide please.

I was at work, but I'm curious, did Trump hear you and acquiesce to your urgent request?

[Wiseysez]

Standing in a padded cell? I can see that.

Right, so what happens when that's not the case, as it absolutely will not be?
You aren't even standing now, as we speak.
You've already acknowledged you're unwilling to back up your words in any meaningful way, when a very simple manner of doing so is readily available to you. With this in mind, why do you bother saying anything at all?
You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?
Deactivate your account already.

But then where will I get the REAL news from?

Biden did more damage to communities of color then big tobacco did with menthol cigarettes.

Biden wrote the crime bills that Harris enforced, the two of them decimated black families for decades.

The 1994 crime bill is a prime example.

But Trump is the racist...

First, its not about the person, but the followers. If you are white and use the n-word, 99.9% chance you're a republican. That's a side I cant be on. Period.

Second, don't act like the right gives 2 craps about black people. They will not even admit systemic racism exists. Theres a reason Republicans are 80% white, it's because the needs for non-whites are not a part of that platform. They dismiss every single gripe the black community has with race issues. "ALM" can bite me.
