Communism/Fascism (aka Leftism) can only exist in an environment where information and facts are tightly controlled through censorship, disinformation, and propaganda. In this environment people are 'cancelled' for wrong-think, corruption runs unchecked, and humanity suffers.
Alternately, in an environment of freedom and liberty, with the free exchange of information, where honest investigation and debate are permitted and encouraged - science and understanding advances, empathy increases, prosperity grows, mankind thrives, and tyranny dies.
Those on the left are informed only by sources from the left, the mainstream. Thus they are told what to believe. They omit context and are ignorant of the bigger picture. They have been conditioned to not think for themselves. They lack self-awareness. And when challenged, they try to shut down discourse using dismissive labels and gaslighting. Then they try to punish those who question their right-think. Also, they always project: "Not me, you!" or "I accuse you of what I am actually doing!"
Conversely, those on the right are informed by sources from the left and the right, mainstream and independent, using their own critical thinking and their own five senses. Thus they have a better footing to make up their own mind, have a more accurate world-view, and have a greater appreciation of freedom and liberty. When challenged, those on the right encourage more discourse and more investigation.
This is not meant to offend, it is meant to inform. If you are offended by the truth then that is on you. I encourage you to do some honest investigation of your own beliefs and information sources. It may be hard to accept that you have been lied to for years and that you have been perpetuating those lies, but would you rather be honest and correct or dishonest and ignorant? Also, read some history about communist takeovers (color revolutions) and how communism operates (what happens to useful idiots). And learn critical thinking (start with logical fallacies).
Well said. I’d also like to add that in the Wikileaks email release a few years ago one of the Podesta emails literally says they’ve historically relied on an ignorant and complacent population to push their ideas. For OP, ask yourself, does that sound like people who are telling you the truth or does that sound like people who lie to your face and laugh behind the scenes at how dumb you are? Glad you’re finally starting to see it but I too am amazed and how few people will ever consider right wing resources but claim those in the right are brainwashed. I literally come to my conclusions after reviewing both the left and right arguments but many/most on the left will NEVER consider a right meaning website and will immediately dismiss it because MSM told them to not believe it. The truth might hurt OP and can be tough to come to terms with (surely they haven’t made a fool of me all these years you might ask? Pride doesn’t want someone to believe they’ve been duped) but the truth is the truth nonetheless.
Pede, I feel your pain, but you are making a fatal mistake by directing your anger at the wrong target.
The enemy is not people who voted for Joe Biden.
They have been programmed to hate us.
And we have been programmed to hate them.
But this hate does NOT serve the interests of either of us.
Divide and rule game is the force which sustains the reign of the oligarchs.
Every time we attack each other, the oligarchs smile and sniff their money.
If you want a better life for your children and grandchildren I implore you to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and apologize to this man and welcome him as an ally against the oligarchs.
I'm confused. Is this a reply to my comment? If so, you truly misunderstand what I am saying.
I am not directing anger or hate. And I am definitely not programmed to hate. I think for myself. And that is what I am stating. I am pointing out the truth that there are differing approaches to reality. One approach seeks the truth no matter what, the other seeks only to be part of the group, with their own version of the truth. I am trying to get the other side to open their eyes to this fact, and to learn to think for themselves.
My statement was not an attack and I most certainly will never apologize for telling the truth, no matter who it offends.
I'd say many people (Dems and repubs) are capable of independent thought. Problem is that the decisions made and actions taken with that thought may be self defeating or harmful if you don't have all the information or real information
If you were capable of independent thought then you would most certainly NOT be a Democrat.
Exactly.

You said that Trump was right about this bill. Is it possible that Trump has been right about most things these last 4 years?

Zero
I would've agreed but then you went back down a few notches with that sentence
