What hell is with the remaining 40%? Was that 40% composed entirely of people working in the media??

Liberals

People call it the 80+20 split.

40% vote left

40% vote right

20% is the uninformed voter who voted depending on what the TV tells him

why "unless you served in the military"? It's been shown that the military is just a private police force for warmongering globalists. They did not come through to save America from the infiltrated commies and they can suck a dick.

Disabled combat veteran here. I agree. The brainwashing is real and I wish I knew then what I know now.

I was young, naive, and wanted to serve after the 9/11 bullshit. It’s been a hard pill to swallow, and I’ve always been a “conservative.”

So yes, my former self should have gone and suck a dick. It would have been easier to do.

Also, military leadership can go get fucked, and I’m not talking about the enjoyable kind. I’m talking about the raw dog in the ass tear apart the rectum with sandpaper kind.

The funny thing about that is that women on aggregate NEVER become NET tax payers. That is a little known fact.

I agree and this probably semantics but wouldn't that screw over people who write off a bunch of shit for work purposes? or say someone who owns a house outright and is living off of accrued assets? Maybe I am not thinking that one through.

Modifications:

Military service allows you to vote after you make it through bootcamp and are in good standing. Residential property ownership lowers that number to 25. Its 25 years if you are in immigrant unless one of your parents has been a citizen for 25 years or you own property or served in the military then it is 10 years. Gun ownership is mandatory and a small stipend is provided at 25 years old unless a felon or the person willingly relinquishes the right to gun ownership due to mental health reasons.

I also think there should be some sort of non military conscription - but someone may argue that it would go against the idea of liberty for a law abiding citizen... but I think our country would be a better place if we had some sort of force that worked on large scale infrastructure projects - give them boot camp, house them, pay them whatever shitty pay they give to military grunts - have them learn what it takes to build a road or bridge or dam.

Nice ideas there, the only one I am not a huge fan of is forcing an individual to do something by threat of violence from the state.

Your test sounds like it would do the job.

I have a proposal for a quicker test:

Do a brain scan whole you explain how UPS eliminated all of the left turns and backing up from their routes.

If their brain lights up, thinking about how that could be accomplished, and why you would want to do it, you have a voter.

If it gives the equivalent of the eyes glazed over vacant stare, next, please!

If they have the curiosity to wonder about first and second order consequences of strange sounding policies implemented in complex systems...

You can probably assume 3-6 on your list.

Interesting, considering my boy T in reality got 80 Mil votes to Xi's 68. increasing his total votes by 17 mil. Astounding.

Agreed.

To put it another way, going from 40% mistrust on the right to 80% mistrust may seem like a lot, but in terms of political consequences, it's not huge. However, if now we're seeing the left go from 5% mistrust to 15%, that's big.

A 10% change among the people who need it most is a lot more important than a 40% change among people who were largely already there.

Another comparison: You get a paycheck, but a bunch of that goes to rent, retirement accounts, insurance, and other baseline expenses. At the end of the day, only 5% of your paycheck goes towards increasing your savings. Then you get a 5% raise. 5% doesn't feel like a lot, until you realize that every dollar of that 5% is going into your savings. You got a 5% raise, but the rate you're saving has doubled.

The right is maxed out on media distrust, then every rise in distrust is better, because it's 100% gravy.

The Leftist cult only knows how to poll the Leftist cult. So 60% is actually impressive.

I often see it in my relatives who don't trust the media yet still look to the media to validate any non-mainstream topic.

I see this in my father and it annoys the absolute shit out of me.

"You can't trust anything the media tells you, bunch of lying vultures. They'll say anything to push a leftist agenda."

*compulsively reaches for the remote and flips on ABC news*

TONIGHT! BREAKING NEWS! BOMBSHELL! ORANGE MAN BAD!

"Uh, why are you watching this crap?"

"Well I gotta know what's going on, don't I?!"

Fucking idiot knows the media lies, knows that they push Democrat propaganda, but for some reason still thinks he's informing himself by watching them. I've long since given up trying to point out his retardation.

It’s like an offshoot of Murray-Gelman Amnesia, where you know it’s bullshit, but keep tuning in on other topics

MamaLlama4DJT2020 2 points ago +2 / -0

I could kiss you!!! I had forgotten what this was called and was searching in vain for it for months, and thanks to you I HAVE IT!

.The Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows.

You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.” -- Michael Crichton”

For the first time ever, fewer than half of all Americans have trust in traditional media, according to data from Edelman’s annual trust barometer

The media is government now, One World Government.

Edelman was the short fellow who used to get the ball from Tom Brady?

I mean that's BS. Even I was able to realize the the Trump hate was BS; as did many way more left leaning people than I.

This idea that there is a large population of people that are irredeemable is the same crap that is said about us. They can fuck off with that mentality.

That doesn't mean most of America is going to become changed people and we are going to all live happily ever after. It does mean some still can and will see it- even if they don't right now.

"61% of Trump voters say that they trust their employer’s CEO." Many Trump voters might want to rethink this. I work for a global company with an extreme leftist leadership who pushes critical race theory and other leftist bullshit onto employees on a daily basis. Since the criminal drug addict George Floyd was killed it has become Chinese style re-education that would make Mao proud. Listen folks, big business leadership ain't what it used to be.

A communications firm reports that 60% of Americans think the media are liars then 100% of people in the topic believe this stat and wonder what's wrong with the other 40% not realizing the irony of it.

Why do you believe these stats are accurate if you believe the media are liars?

The Media is the virus. The disease of misinformation has tainted our country and it is used to divide and eventually destroy this country. Their goal is for a race war and with it they will remove all our rights especially the right to bear arms. Once that is accomplished by the Biden Adminstration and MSM our country is not a country anymore it is an occupation.

Mainstream media’s sole purpose is to make money, the more people watch the more they make. How do you compel people to watch nonstop to maximize revenue? One word: fear. You instill a constant sense of fear in the viewer that compels them to watch more. Fear is like a drug.
