Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lieso? (Barf alert)
Slate ^ | November 9, 2017 | John Ehrenreich

Posted on 11/09/2017 11:16:54 AM PST by EdnaMode

Many conservatives have a loose relationship with facts. The right-wing denial of what most people think of as accepted reality starts with political issues: As recently as 2016, 45 percent of Republicans still believed that the Affordable Care Act included “death panels” (it doesn’t). A 2015 poll found that 54 percent of GOP primary voters believed then-President Obama to be a Muslim (…he isn’t).

Then there are the false beliefs about generally accepted science. Only 25 percent of self-proclaimed Trump voters agree that climate change is caused by human activities. Only 43 percent of Republicans overall believe that humans have evolved over time.

And then it gets really crazy. Almost 1 in 6 Trump voters, while simultaneously viewing photographs of the crowds at the 2016 inauguration of Donald Trump and at the 2012 inauguration of Barack Obama , insisted that the former were larger. Sixty-six percent of self-described “very conservative” Americans seriously believe that “Muslims are covertly implementing Sharia law in American courts.” Forty-six percent of Trump voters polled just after the 2016 election either thought that Hillary Clinton was connected to a child sex trafficking ring run out of the basement of a pizzeria in Washington, D.C., or weren’t sure if it was true.

Liberals belive in facts??? Like how there are 75 genders, unborn babies are a clump of cells, Islam is a religion of peace, illegals and legal immigrants are the same, and Russia hacked the election for Trump? Not to mention all the other things they believe.

“The future does must belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam” - Barack Hussein Obama, 2012

Sorry Slate...you will have to show evidence that Obama is not Muslim. No non-Muslim make a quote like this?

Then there are the false beliefs about generally accepted science. Only 25 percent of self-proclaimed Trump voters agree that climate change is caused by human activities. Only 43 percent of Republicans overall believe that humans have evolved over time.

But only 45 of Scientists, all receiving Government Grants, believe in man made global warming.

A death panel by any other name is still a death panel.

In my 67 years I have noticed that climate does change although not so much here in South East Florida. I do remember decades ago it snowed one day here in Boca Raton Fl, I also remember when sometime after that there were loud panic screams of the coming ice age.

The only real thing I’ve seen that threatens to destroy America is the Progress Liberal Democrat Communist Party, its defeat requires we stay informed, vigilant, always ready to fight for liberty.

I have my doubts that he is a Muslim, but the Leftist claim that he is a Christian, not credible. I will claim he he a devout Marxist.

I know there are people who have long lists of Obama quotes and actions that do not square with him being a christian.
