There are some that are only deceived as you say, but some are willingly participating because they are benefiting, and some are just plain stupid!
I betcha the ones that you or I would know personally are by & large the ones that are deceived. I know they are a pain in the neck & you'd like to ring their neck but they are probably just confused by the media
I have been a conservative beacon for my friends list ever since Facebook came around. I have steadily lost friends over my adamant pressure on the left as well as Rino's. I don't mince my words. The ones that hung on either agreed with me fully, or disagreed with me so much that they stayed on my friends list just to be that antagonist. I keep never remove friends... So I have about 5 or 6 die hard liberals that were all for Obama, all for Clinton, all for Biden... they are willingly ignorant to all of the implicating data out there unless it comes to Trump... I continue to share everything, and they continue to argue... its insane...
Not me! I always embraced different opinions & always tried to accept different sorts of people & their lifestyles all my life. I also understood the need to possibly change society to accommodate this. I always assumed that's what liberal meant. When it got to the question of gay marriage, I thought that was going a little too far. In fact, I clearly remember joking about how absurd it was with an older friend who was a solid liberal all his life. A few years later still the same crowd is pushing totally absurd issues like that a man can now declare himself a woman to the point where he can sue for not being allowed to use the woman's room! This has nothing to do with accepting different lifestyles, this is the destroying the fabric of society!
As far as presidents, I knew the Bush's were just pure evil. The grandfather tried to overthrow this country, the father had a hand the JFK assassination & etc. I didn't particularly like Clinton but I figured, at least he's not Bush. When all his close associates started dropping dead left & right, I was starting to scratch my head. Back then, people even in liberal circles knew that Hilary's father was a mob boss...... They played the Obama card well. I thought he was a different animal at first. I was really deceived. As his time went on I was more & more upset with all wars he was waging & it seemed like he was on the side of the wahhabists! I wasn't paying attention to the 2016 Republican primaries, I assumed Bush would just get it & you know what I think of them. The 1st moment I got it that Trump was ahead, my first thought was, "well if he beat Bush he can't be all bad" That was literally my first thought. Then when it was him or Clinton's mob boss the choice was obvious. Meanwhile, the liberal positions of social issues started going insane.
Yeah, I lost friends on FB. I never expected that sort of close mindedness. Today there is no free thought on the liberal side. One has to swallow everything on their platform or be thrown out of the clique. I'm just waiting for it to implode & maybe get some friends back. We'll see.....
Well said!
