SoylentNews is people

the world’s slackening grip on reality

Journal by c0lo

(in the loving memory of Runaway1956, who succumbed after a long battle to gatewaypundits. May his brain rest in peace, squeaky clean and smoothed over)

because "Doing your own research" is far easier nowadays than building the habit of thinking critically.
Add COVID-anxiety, a chaotic narcissistic Orange clown and compound with the lack of survival problems to solve for the everyday life in a westernized society and (where appropriate) a good dose of American exceptionalism.

    Well said!

    Legitimate complaints about Trump and his administration were met with ...

    met with: TDS

    Because you cannot criticize Trump.

    I'm happy to blame the D's when they put ideology ahead of science, facts and reality. I would point out that Joe Biden stated his Covid-19 tragedy strategy would be solidly based on science. If we're all gonna die, it'll be based on science!

    FoxNews does not even make a pretense of trying to be fair. Or balanced. CNN does pretend to be fair. And pretends to be balanced.

    I have not agreed with every policy decision of any president. Like Obama, for example. I don't like every single thing he did. But I liked a lot. With R's and especially Trump, it is a total religious cult mentality. There is nothing Trump can do or ever has done wrong. None. Zip. We're seeing his fascist streak trying to seize power, and his fascist followers are just fine with it.

    I think I speak for most liberals, we are done trying to compromise with bad faith entitled people who hypocritically give crimes and abuses of power a total pass when it is their team.

    Fixing that would go a very long way. But D's need to police their house also.

    But we're wandering away from the problem of R's putting ideology ahead of facts, reality and science in a way and on a scale that the D's do not.
