When This Blows Over

HumanPerson3 years ago
One of the characteristics of the modern Right is a seeming
inability to accept uncomfortable facts. When a fact is
inconvenient, they either make an excuse for it or deny it all
together. You can see this on Fox news where uncomfortable
facts are liberal media conspiracies; it's evident in Republican
politicians and commentators, and even in the current White
House. Blame Obama for a financial crisis he wasn't around for,
blame the Democrats for a deficit that was created under a
Republican administration, ignore various important facts about
Trump's business practices and irrational statements. How long
Republicans will defend Trump and the party who support him
openly - no matter what - will say a lot about who the
Republican party are. They care about their team and will ride
this train right over a cliff. They care more about what feels true
than what is true. On top of this, they're really bad at owning up
to mistakes, whether it has to do with Republican policies,
erosion of civil liberties under Bush, voter suppression laws etc.
Once this Trump affair is over, I guarantee the Republican party
and the majority of conservatives will blame liberals. I am
willing to bet my life on this era being rewritten to somehow
blame liberals.

How long will Democrats ignore that the whole Russia debacle
developed out of the Democrats attempt to steal the Democratic
nomination and got caught red-handed. Let's not talk about the facts
revealed by Wikileaks; instead, let’s talk about where the information
might have come from. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
There is no place I can go to escape criticism of Conservatism or
Republicanism. All you have to do is turn on the TV and get fed red
meat...
