Sometimes I’ll just be like ‘you’re not a high school social studies teacher, you don’t need a works cited page. Either believe it or not.’ Other times I’ll point out their pattern of behavior and argument strategy before they even get to the final stage, where they say since it didn’t come from a reputable source it doesn’t count. They don’t seem to grasp all of their beliefs are being influenced by propaganda sources so of course any real news will seem strange to them. They’re interesting creatures.

My girlfriend and I was just at her moms house last weekend so I could put a bed together for her for some extra cash. We both already know she's a diehard lefty. $100+k in student loan debt, switched from an English degree to library degree, full on in academia. So I already know the bubble she lives in. My gf asked me long ago not to argue with her when she brings up politics to get along. But there we are helping her out and she starts bringing up something about someone calling AOC a bitch and how wrong and messed up that is. I myself wasn't aware of that particular story b.c when it came up here on TD I skipped over it b.c, well I do think she is a bitch. So I said to her I haven't heard about that story, tell me about it. She rambles on about how someone was caught on camera calling her a bitch and was supposed to apologies but didn't. A real nothing-burger. I then asked her why did he call her a bitch? All she could say was I just told you the story. I said yes you did but you never said why he did it in the first place. So she's getting heated and saying how we (gf and I) were misogynist and that we instantly think b.c she is a woman she had to do something wrong to be called a bitch. I replied with no, I just don't go around calling someone a bitch without being provoked first. On the way back home I told my gf, notice how she couldn't give us a reason as to why someone would say such a thing to someone. It's b.c the tv didn't give her a reason. Notice how outraged she got when the narrative was questioned? B.c tv teaches her to be outraged when it's questioned. I been on the Trump train sense the 2016 primaries. Girlfriend is voting Trump with me this year. Her mom.... well she is useful in red pilling my gf
