That's easy,

keep the former middle class, now lower class preoccupied with bullshit,

while the elite 1%, both liberal and conservative, royally screw them with free trade agreements, ever decreasing wages, endless wars, dumb & dumber education system void of any real world skills like finance, industrial arts (you know working with your hands that is looked on as being beneath our educators and only for those that couldn't get into college), critical thinking skills, etc.

But wait it gets better, use Hollywood, Television, media in general to tell them what to believe, what to buy, while bankers extend them credit so they can buy things they don't need with money they don't have putting them into perpetual debt, tell them obesity is in vogue so they feel good about their unhealthy lifestyles, you can be whatever you want, just sign off on this Student Loan, we will worry about the details later, etc.

Now these people are struggling, angry, frustrated that the American Dream is becoming more of a nightmare, and in come The Rush Limbaugh types that direct that anger towards Liberals like that unAmerican muslim from kenya, in order to keep their eyes off big business and corporate types that want it all for them and none for you.

Gee, usually people are smart enough to figure out how to fix their link within 5 or 10 minutes. Are you a conservative Republican? Or a liberal Democrat?

I believe they are personally. The get bad news from bad sources and with CBD it's hard for them to forget said wrong view point. Critical thinking is not a strong conservative trait.

Are "liberals" so stupid that they believe these endless self congratulatory circle jerk threads constitute "discussion"?

Don't forget those who direct your anger against common people like is the subject of this thread ;) Or have you not realized yet you're also just a piece in this game?

I wondered who are the Trump supporters. The type of person they are. I know during his rallies you can hear random things in the crowd such as, no joke: "White Power", "Obama is muslim", and so forth. But in my mind, while watching it on TV, those people are just caricatures. Then I started to meet some.

I off road with some local folks and we have a great time. I've never discussed politics with them and they are seemingly nice people. One of them recently started posting stuff on Facebook about Obama being a muslim... So damn weird how a guy that is really nice in person can believe such crap.

Then I met a lady a few days ago that was ranting about Obama not being a US citizen and him wanting to run for a third term.... She was completely serious. How people can harbor such anger about things they never get the facts on is sad.

Both sides have extreme views, but it seems the right side's extreme views are much more ignorant and come from a more isolated life where they believe the world is against them.

And I wasn't going to "butt" in on this, but his pics looks to be photochopped, sliced and diced.

I admit to evidence my 12+ years of working with photoshop and its marvelous array of third party plug-ins. ;)

hint - (simplified version) - zoom in with a decent monitor, then look for the halo around overlayed objects that is produced when edge effects from different layers are combined. Admittedly, the higher the resolution, the easier it is to detect, but low res pics can still show artifacts and anomalies if a decent monitor is at hand. ;)

That's the CBD working. They don't care if it's a lie or fake as long as the message is what they want to hear.

Based on your questionable pics (those you were able to successfully link to) I think the answer to the question in the thread title is "yes". What's really sad is that it goes beyond misinformed to willfully ignorant.

Who could they possibly have a discussion with? You!? Have you seen your posts? Your last 20 posts either consist of a url that leads to a JPEG or contains less than three words. Hell! You can't even go one thread without some bullshit about how both sides are bad.

Now go ahead and respond with your typical post, that to everyone else, looks like a projection.

Hey now, I'd show a little more compassion for the conservatives in this forum because for a long while now, I've known that what 's driving them absolutely funny farm certifiable is the fact that they realize they have to live under a sky that's colored Democrat blue and their ain't a damn thing they can do about it. :D
