I think the first thing you have to do is a little deprogramming of what the news does.
You really cannot attack it head on. I've been thinking about how to approach this. If you bring up Trump or Biden they will immediately dig in and you'll get nowhere.
"Do you believe the news reports everything, or selectively reports based on editorial leanings?"
"Do you believe that the news would print negative information about Biden? Can you show me recent examples of negative Biden stories?"
"Alternatively, can you find positive stories about Trump on these same outlets?"
The trick I find, and everyone is different, if you approach it as "I want to learn your understanding" you get a lot farther. People are very resistant to "being taught" but are very ready to "teach". So make them "teach" you, then as the student, ask questions that send them on a path to truth.
From CO also, very interested in the 140% increase primary turnout.
However I think a lot of it seemed to be a "justice democrats" pushing for their primary challenger to Hickenlooper. Ever since AOC the primaries have become a MUCH larger part of the discussion, especially with the far left. I would believe a huge push for primary voting, especially considering CO sent out primary registration ballots to everyone
I also received one 2 months after the primaries. I can guarantee that these systems are being pushed by these organizations to harvest ballots. I'm registered unaffiliated and recieve both party primary ballots so I don't get caught up in any political fuckery as much as possible.
I forgot who it was, maybe it was Cruz, but during the FB hearing recently it was said "Ironically that FB has put itself in the unique position to both be the reason misinformation spreads so quickly and also proposes that it is the only one capable of combating the problem"
I'm paraphrasing a lot, but it's true.
If anyone ever believes that the American way of life is supported by extracting wealth from the poor, ask how our way of life was so good in the 20s-the 60s when the country was 95% white and our foreign trade amounted to less than 5% of the economy.
The fact that Republicans have most of the state congresses, yet this shit is still happening is the problem with the GOP
Patriots need to take over local government offices. Patriots need to get elected to state and local positions. I don't care if you run D or R, we need people in office who give a shit about freedom.
Yes. Covid has only killed people that were already dead.
