Dear lord... I couldn't imagine.
I saw the machinations of.. "this" starting about ten years ago. I was never a Democrat, but I was (and still am) pretty hard left.
The mere fact that I felt Trump was a better choice than Hillary is enough to be ostracized. Its gone far, far beyond simple groupthink into something much, much worse.
Sad really.. I've always felt the left was good for pushing the boundaries of change and progress while the right kept it all grounded. There's a really nice balance there.
My biggest concern at this point is the right responding in kind. Despite the protests otherwise, the right simply hasn't reached the level of disconnect that the left has. Sure, the typical, obvious manipulations are all still there.. but this new stuff is a whole 'nother level.
And frankly, its frightening.
Thanks! Yeah, all of us should seek alternative viewpoints than our own. A lot of people are stuck in echo chambers.

You know what makes me sad? This site makes me sad.
I for one applaud you for taking that opportunity to see and hear both sides. I try to do the same. But (as you probably would agree) some of the drivel and half-truths and vitriol being presented as "news" in the MSM (ALL the MSM outlets) can make you feel so dirty you need to take a shower in bleach.

Yes, I agree that the msm is failing as far journalism, and I fear that some of that is purposeful i.e. propaganda.
How true is that?

And why not? After all, didn't the last administration make it legal for the MSM to be used to spread propaganda?

To be fair, she is a very conservative Democrat. Some would call her a DINO. Did you know she is in favor of arranged marriages?

But see, that's the thing most people never talk about.
Almost nobody that I know, is hard right or hard left. Most people have some conservative views, and some liberal views. Most Americans fall somewhere in the middle of the political spectrum. But if you say you support or are against one topic or another you are immediately thrown in with either the Demopublicans or the Republicrats.
I used to consider myself a Democrat, even voted for Obummer back in 08 when the media had christened him as the messiah, but these hard left people have gone so far out there with the craziness that they have pushed me to have more conservative views in my political leanings.
I know for a fact that I am not the only American who feels this way.
Same thing with McCain. And he’s a decorated war hero! So much for honor and respect for veterans...

Mueller was appointed by the Government and has a right to investigate the Trump admin's shady dealings. Donald Trump is the biggest threat to America since the British invaded the US in 1812 and his crimes and treason must be revealed.
Anyone supporting Trunp is a traitor to America and humanity. Everyone here ridiculously accused Obama of "Fundamentally transforming America" for 8 years, which turned out to be completely false. Now Trump is completely transforming our country from a first world nation led by a government of qualified people, to a third world, lawless oligarchy of criminals and foreign agents and everyone here is happy to see him do it.
No one here has any business attacking Mueller, you should all be questioning why you support destroying our nation.
