Take your comment above, you’d think that somebody that spent time arguing about blacks having different experience would know that we could live in the same city and have two totally different views, based upon factors like age, sex, income, race, political views, etc. The thing is with liberal dominance of the media, it’s real easy to assume that, if you have a liberal outlook, that everyone else agrees or at least is the dominate view. That’s why Trump is likely to win in 2020 and you creating strawman to debate is among those reasons.



    Evil, no. Filled with self delusion. Yes.

      Maybe you should stop making false accusations.

        I'm sure Chuck will take time out of his busy schedule to scold you for using the ad hominem fallacy.

        Look, man, even your cherry picked story from a biased source indicates that support for Trump among blacks is at least greater than zero, so the fact that you personally don't know any proves nothing and gets a shrug from me.

          MM, what you are doing here is just plain and simple picking a fight. I made an observation. It is true. And it is representative of the extremely low support Trump gets in the black community where I live. That is the meaning it has. There is, again, no need for you to be such a jerk about it.

              You fill in the blinks of your opponents motivations, which almost are always nefarious, and pretend that is an accurate representation of what your opponents believe. Most media talking heads are not evil, but they lie to themselves and convince themselves of their own lies. A classic case of confirmation bias magnified by the bubble they live in. That’s why you and the rest of your liberal buddies seem to like the Russian conspiracy theories. They tell you what you want to believe vs the cold truth that Clinton lost because of her own undoing.

              See, no mustache twirling villain needed, simply good confirmation bias and inability to know what happens beyond your own circle. Try to get what I believe right next time because yeah, you made a false accusation.

                    You said most media talking heads aren't evil. That would mean that you believe that at least some are evil. Can you name them?

                      I say ‘most’ to leave that maybe a possibility. I simply hold to the idea that incompetence and stupidity are far more common reasons than evil.

                            Oh, don't give me the wounded puppy routine. First, you made your "observation" in order to counter certain claims about Trump's support among minorities. And secondly, you're the one who delivered a straight up insult without even bothering to put it in the context of a substantive rebuttal. So if anybody is trying to pick a fight here, it's you.

                                It’s just Jim trying to find a comforting lie to make him feel better vs the cold, hard truth. Trump is likely going to win in 2020 because liberals choose to pick comforting lies that Trump won through cheating, racism, etc vs convincing enough people to vote for him. This disconnect is causing them to fail to see that their leftward shift away from the more moderate left is hurting them with voters in the center left/right and this can cost them big in 2020 not just with the presidency, but across the board. The fact he finds yet another ‘Orange man bad!!!!’ story says what path he has chosen to accept.
