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.

    A) Ds not nearly to the same extent as Rs, by a huge margin

    Nope. If anything, they are roughly equal in amount.

    B) We tried to have good manners for most of the last 4 years, but

    If spouting a constant stream of pure lies for four years is considered good manners then I'd hate to see what the D's would do if they were not trying to have good manners for the last four years. Oh, wait, we did get to see that this summer. All the D riots in major cities smashing glass and setting everything on fire.

    C) Legitimate complaints about Trump and his administration were met with "some people put[ting] political ideology ahead of facts and reality"

    Except you were doing exactly that. Every one of the lies the D's spouted for the last four years only happened because the D's ignored the facts that showed the lies were lies, and spouted the lies just the same. Example (the linchpin of the mess of lies): The fine people hoax. Totally a made up lie by D's created by ignoring the sentence a mere 20 or so words later in the same speech where they cut out the "fine people" part for supporting their lies.
