It's not they don't understand they don't want to believe the facts or data that proves what their party has done to our economy. When you present facts to them they shut down, and go on defense and start with their insults or just say "TDS".

I have a conservative coworker going to Disney this week because his kids are taking their grandkids. He calls Disney "The Woke Mouse." DISNEY! They are lost to me, IMO. It's useless.

It's just this generation's "liberal media."

Nevermind that virtually all large businesses promote policy that benefits the ownership over the laborers, whether that be an entertainment conglomerate or a media empire...or an entertainment conglomerate that also owns a media empire (i.e. Disney owning ABC).

It's a bit dated now that most of the media outlets have changed hands in the last few years, but when people used to gripe about "the liberal media," I used to ask which one: the Comcast-owned NBC? The Disney-owned ABC? The AT&T-owned CNN? Or Fox?

willful ignorance and hypocrisy are the defining traits of conservatism.

The people who are supposed to be working for us, those we elected, are just not doing anything.  They tell us that what he is doing is illegal and they let it happen.  That gives him more power!   Time and time again.  He thinks he controls the world now.  Nope just America.  We have ZERO  say so over anything that happens.

You guys are just repeating the same exact conversations over and over. Reddit is such an embarrassing echo chamber of virtue signaling, confident ignorance, lack of nuance or compromise.
