Yet certain people seem to think so. They are engaging in the same irrational behavior as Libtard's had and continue to have about the Rittenhouse Trial. PatNetters, I am sorry to say. And when I point these facts out to them, they react like Libtards do when their Bubble gets poked. It's sad.

Yeah, Patnet isn't the only mostly-Republican place I hang out on the internet, where the people regularly post threads like "Why do liberals lack critical thinking skills" and "When a liberal vs conservative wants to (make a grand political statement)" yet themselves unironically post faulty reasoning or resort to ad hominem instead of arguing from facts. Each tends to have a core clique of right wingers with the morals and manners of high school Mean Girls.

It's strange, when you're REALLY politically independent and invest time researching and forming your own opinions about ideologies and current events, it's hard to find ANYONE who will like and respect you very far or deep. It's like if you're not the exact down both sides of the slate Party stereotype, you find yourself excluded from ALL sides of ALL aisles sooner or later. I've been very stably a-lot-lib, a-little-left of center over the 25 years I've been taking "political compass" tests. Like many classic Libertarians, fiscally conservative and socially liberal. To put it in 2 words, I consider myself a sort of capitalist hippie. Neither capitalists, nor hippies, like finding out I'm also the other. Not hewing to one or the other major political parties is a very lonely place to find oneself always. I'm also very independent and can be asocial and function fine without the presence and praise of other humans, so I can see how people with a more "normal" level of what Maslow called Belongingness Needs can get entrained in partisan shenanigans. ALL political parties, like all groups of humans, engage in mammalian-brain hacking to reinforce party cohesion. I can understand a certain amount of it, but still not personallly relate or aspire to join in.

I don't understand/relate to the mindset that feels a need to make posts like this one. "Other sportsball team finished. 48 column inches and numerous presuppositions and foregone-conclusions before the first FACTS about the case or situation even become public knowledge!

Wow Pat, that graph is just insane. It is unbelievable that the murder rate is again near the early 90’s high. To place that into perspective I grew up in LA and was living in a relatively nondescript suburb about 10 miles east of Downtown LA.

At that time there were parts of LA you didn’t go to. At all. My grandmother lived In the same house since the 20’s, not at all a good neighborhood. Although it mostly missed the street she lived on, you could hear gunshots every night. There were around 20 murders a year at the housing projects that were about 4 blocks from where she lived.

A friend house sitted in a sort of run down area, but nice home up on a hill. The people there were his family friends and went on two month vacations once a year and had him watch the home and the pets. I remember being actively nervous on the drive to the place. Like Id slow way down going into red lights so that I could slowly roll and not actually have to stop.

It’s been a ton of police resources getting us to the place where that threat was minimized. So sad to see things turn around for the worse in only a few years. I hope every idiot who believes the white priveledge fairy tale and who thinks that reducing penalties for breaking the law understands exactly where their theoretical bullshit leads society.

Please, if you spot faulty reasoning on my part, point it out and I will address it.

Ad hominems I simply ignore, they're just evidence somebody is frustrated with your reasoning and doesn't give you any opportunity to rethink your position, even if it is wrong.

DEF not talking about you in that post. Patnet in general is pretty low on groupthink but it has happened at times. I'm thinking also of long-term involvement in places like industry forums with the same people in the current conversation and the post history for 15+ years running. The W and Obama years were actually much worse than the Trump years to be the least Republican person in a chat room.

I don't see how anybody could be happy with Obama. He did NOTHING at all that I liked. The ACA just made it illegal not to have health insurance whether you could afford it or not, the website was a fucking bribe - 1 billion dollars for that? He got a kickback I guarantee - it drove prices up - if you own a business (and I recall you do) you know that. He took two stupid wars and then made two more, lied us into Libya and Syria - made a disaster out of both (in Neocon tradition), and bombed Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan to boot. Common Core is stupid I've looked at it, it makes children worse at math - no question about that - he took a bribe to implement it in my opinion.

Perhaps the only, partially liberal/progressive thing he did was legalize gay marriage which frankly nobody cares about despite all the screaming about it. Oh and transgendered bathrooms. That was hardly any hope or change. He was George W. Bush in blackface after a diction class. He was terrible. John McCain would have been just as worthless, or Romney.

One thing I'm glad about with Obama was that he was so purposeless, so worthless, that a carnival barker who told the truth about the deep state, the military industrial complex, and the joke people used to believe was "news". He also destroyed the credibility of the DOJ and intelligence agencies, and demonstrated they are nothing but utterly broken and corrupt institutions that should be entirely overhauled if not abolished. He also did a good job at demonstrating the Democrats are just as much of a bunch of warmonger scumbags as the Neocons ever were.

I appreciate Biden in the same way. He's completely corrupt, worthless, and just an all around dirtbag - perfect representation of the jerkwads that actually control this nation. I hope Biden is run again in 2024 and "wins" again just to make it blatantly obvious that our elections are worthless and this isn't a democratic republic, but a dictatorship.

Bush Jr. was so freaking bad he broke the Republican party, and Obama and Biden are so awful they are breaking the Democratic party - but man is that hard to do. Never thought "the left" would be the last to wakeup. I figured after 8 years of President Rebush Obozo people would realize that the party doesn't represent them at all, but nope.

Do you remember what the ORIGINAL plan was for Obamacare? The way it was as Obama put it before Congress, the Senate, and the American people for review and consideration, but BEFORE it got completely rewritten into a Frankenbill by regulatory capturers in the Insurance, Pharmaceutical, and Hospital System businesses?

More to comment, but I'd like to hear your perspective on this point.

Capitalist as meaning a believer in capitalism? True capitalism or the twisted new capitalism of the USA, with TBTF, bailouts, QE, ZIRP, monopolies, etc?

A Leftmedia Whitewash in Waukesha
We can learn a lot about CNN and its ilk by the way they report on crimes that have a racial component.

“Waukesha will hold a moment of silence today,” posted The Most Trusted Name in News™ yesterday, “marking one week since a car drove through a city Christmas parade, killing six people and injuring scores of others.”

Got that? According to CNN, a car drove through a city Christmas parade and took all those lives. A car. All by itself. Without anyone’s hands on the wheel. Without anyone’s foot on the gas pedal.

They won’t stop either. Doesn’t matter how much we complain. They love it. Joe Biden hasn’t even made a statement about the largest domestic terrorist attack in some time. Didn’t even offer condolences. This is beyond outrageous.

It's likely going to get worse. Blacks already freely shoot each other with no consequence 90% of the time. This is why I won't go to major cities or parts of cities with a predominant black population. And no I'm not racist, just reality.

We're going to see murder rates I think in the coming years that mirror the Bush Sr. and Clinton presidencies. Which is bad in modern times. Crime should still be slowly going down. Pandemic didn't help, but all this BLM and defund police is bull shit. There's bad people in every job on the planet. That will never go away. Cutting the good guys is a recipe for disaster and I think it is unfolding now. Who the hell would sign up to be a cop right now?

It's hilarious to hear that for anybody. I'm considered one of the least positive, most negative, cynical people that my friends know.

The toppling of the media narrative is somebody I've been hoping for and PUSHING for for 30 years. Trump was a tremendous person to do that. I'll always be thankful that he did enormous damage to the credibility of what I have considered PURE PROPAGANDA for 30 years. Our media is complete bullshit, and has been since I was 20. NOTHING has changed in it, the population is changing, for the better, FINALLY. FINALLY they are.

Propaganda protects corruption and people are starting to recognize that. WHEN I spoke out against the bullshit that "we can't wait for the final proof to come in the form of a mushroom cloud" every single conservative would denounce me in some way. That kind of shit doesn't happen anymore. Now there has to be centralized censorship to shut people up, and that's a weakness not a strength. The population itself used to align against the truth, now it's just corporations that do. Propaganda is now openly discussed. I'm listening to Glenn Greenwald right now, he openly discusses this and he's one of the most famous journalists in the United States.

Vaccine inventor: 'Fundamentally evil' COVID policies harming children
Dr. Robert Malone tells WND the damage is 'deep and profound and will last for decades'
Published December 2, 2021 at 9:25pm

In a wide-ranging video interview with WND, the vaccine researcher who invented the messenger RNA technology behind the Pfizer and Moderna shots explained why he opposes universal vaccination for the COVID-19 virus and why he's been willing to risk the reputation he's cultivated over three decades and weather the scorn of the government and health-care establishment.

Dr. Robert Malone cited the evidence for his concerns about the vaccines, the mandates and policies he believes are causing serious harm, particularly to children, but he also offered insight on his personal journey during the pandemic that has rocked the world.

Unknown to most critics and allies alike, he said in the 80-minute interview, is that he's not "right wing."

"My wife and I are Central Coast Californians by birth and youth, and we actually come from slightly center-left on the political spectrum," he told WND.

"But I've got to say, what we've observed live the last two years has completely changed our point of view on politics in the United States.

"And the thing is, I'm seeing that all across the country."

Malone noted he's been on podcasts with African Americans and others traditionally on the political left "who are really not happy with what's happening at all."

"I'm pretty sure what I'm seeing is a major political realignment starting to grow in the United States, and really worldwide, and it's like a wakeup call."

It's about the rights of the individual and the fundamental freedom of speech upon which the nation was founded, he said.

"This is scrambling politics," said Malone of the pandemic, predicting — while acknowledging such prognostications are outside of his "core competency" – a "major sea change in the 2022 midterms."

Malone said the reason he is speaking out, in spite of the considerable personal risks, is simple.

"It's because I'm bloody well pissed off. It's not right, it's not fair, it's hurting people, it is breaking the rules, left and right, people are lying continuously, they're manipulating data," he said.

"It's shocking."

He believes the consequences will be fundamental, with a "damaged" hospital and medical-care delivery system and a loss of faith in the government.

The insertion of the government in the affairs of the family, with the lockdowns, school shutdowns, and the vaccine and mask mandates, is causing damage that is "deep and profound and will last for decades," he said.

"Evil can sometimes be intentional, and sometimes it's unintentional, but right now what we're seeing happening with our children is fundamentally evil," he said.

"It's just a question in my mind to what extent it's been intentional. And I hope it hasn't been."

Haha, I think it's likely they've been voting republican (or at least what they perceive as against the establishment) for decades. What changed, is that there's wide-scale distrust of the balloting system, and as a result it's hard to pull fraud.

Trump did the country many favors - one was pointing out our election system is fraudulent and it has been for a long time.

This. During the Va elections, Republicans were at every precinct. The Dems were unable to pull off the steal at the local precincts to get within the 30,000 votes Fairfax County had in reserve. They did not even bother risking the reserve since Youngkin had an 80,000 vote lead.
