Left wing paranoia is also purposely manufactured to misinform. Again it's just bias. Pick a topic. Defund the police. White cops kill unarmed blacks? Doj had the data. There was know empirical support for the riots of that summer. Covid? Cases, cases, cases, hospital overwhelmed. Never the number of icu beds and number added by Covid. Never the flu kills more kids than Covid. I could go on and on. The left is full of shit. Just like the right. Read the inane posts on here, citing to msnbc videos. No understanding of how to research and find actual sources. It's the dumbing down of America in full display
I don't know man, I don't find myself saying 'if that was true than holy shit this is a terrible evil' or 'no one would put up with that if it had a modicum of truth to it' like with right wing conspiracies.
They are more on the flat earther level of absurdity.
They are so ridiculous that they can't be proven, because they don't exist, and the answer is 'well that's what they WANT you to think!!!'.
Take Trump. Lies out of his ass. Media calls him on it. He convinces his peeps the media is out to get him, which allows him to keep lying out of his ass because if you disagree, you're part of the deep state.
Anyone close to him calls him out. That person is a disgruntled psycho looking for a payout.
Now you've got a whole lot of people conditioned to believe the assinine and absurd.
Dems tend to over react, I'll give you that, but everything you listed is based in a truth.
Covid hospitalizations....yes that's a thing. Personally I'm friends with two ER nurses and they told me it was an absolute zoo. Ambulances have to get routed based on availability and people are waiting hours and when seen they are quickly checked out and sent along their way.
That's in St. Paul. Can't imagine how a small county hospital dealt with it during a surge.
As far as kids, who are historically the largest super speaders of viruses....kids. (
This isn't just about kids health, it's about them not spreading along with participating and learning about caring for others for a health cause. Kids don't want their grandparents to die or their teachers to get sick. Kids are much kinder than we are.
Police brutality? The black panther party formed on that point alone back in the 60's. Keeping this simple, there's a reason why black communities don't trust the police and are reluctant to call in police. That alone means we have an issue that might have a better solution in police reform.
Again these are all real topics. There's no rich, Jewish boogyman that's putting computer chips up our asses when we use a public toilet to control us.
My point is not to argue these things with you, it's more to simply say that I believe left wing pearl clutching in general is based on real things....but I lean that way so it makes sense to me.
