“If we had an informed electorate, the title of this article would defeat Hillary all by itself.”
If we had an informed electorate, Hillary would never have been allowed to run at all. Enough scandals and investigations were already out there to deem her unqualified. Just the Benghazi incident alone would have doomed her.
Unfortunately we have low information voters instead. My mother and sister are both hard core democrats, you cannot tell them Obama is a liar. They refuse to believe it. They refuse to believe he has made a mess of the economy. They refuse to believe he hasn’t done all he can possibly do to wipe out ISIS. I told them both specifically the government was shut down in 2013 because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid blocked a vote on the budget bill. They still believe Ted Cruz shut down the government all by himself. How is that possible when the shut down was because we didn’t have a budget, Cruz is a senator and did not have a chance to vote on the budget? They still believe he shut it down all by his lonesome. No matter what I say. Facts don’t matter, only the propaganda Obama spews matters, and they believe every syllable of it. Because it’s on the “news”...
That’s what we are facing. Low information voters who don’t know the facts, refuse to accept the facts and don’t care to look it up.
The mainstream press, to them, is above any suspicion. They’ve been brainwashed all their lives to believe reporters have some built in imperative to always tell the truth no matter what. And since the media is telling them exactly what they want to hear, they have no interest in finding out anything that does not fit their beliefs.
It’s just like my father before he died. He was in bad health, diabetic, other serious problems, and checked his blood sugar level one day. We kept a daily chart, he wrote down 68. I came in just as he did it, and before the meter automatically shut off, it was actually 89. He read it upside down. (punch 89 into a calculator and look at it upside down.) So I wrote it in right, he threw a screaming fit. I won’t repeat here what he said, he was extremely vulgar. I tried to show him it was a simple mistake, he read it upside down, and 89 is actually very good. He turned his head the other way and screamed “I ain’t lookin’ at NOTHIN”...several times. He did that at least 3 or 4 other times when I tried to show him I was right.
Most liberals act the same way, just usually without all the obscene, vulgar language that was part of his regular daily rants. The first thing I usually heard was “You’re full of S&*t you don’t know what the f%$k you’re talking about.” Screaming loud as he could. It went downhill from there.
That’s the same mentality I see with liberals, both in person and online. They absolutely believe every word they hear on the so called news, it’s carved in stone, reporters are inherently honest, Obama would never, ever lie...ditto for Hillary. Prove they are liars all day long, it matter not. Your “proof” is just Republican rhetoric. I’ve even seen liberals online post “that’s just your facts”. “that’s just your truth”. As if mine is not valid, and even when I link to government statistics.
Low information voters, brainwashed to fanatically believe the news media is above reproach. Brainwashed to believe only Democrats know what the truth actually is. Only Democrats know how to run a government.
And they truly, fanatically, almost religiously believe it. Anything Obama utters is carved in stone gospel truth. Hillary is the greatest thing that ever happened to this country and will be an even BETTER president than Obama. She’s a SAINT just ask them.
I know this sounds almost laughable, but it is true. We look up facts, look up the truth, have a strong suspicion of the media. They don’t. They believe every single word CNN puts out. If it’s on the ABC, NBC, CBS news, it’s carved in stone gospel truth.
That’s what will be voting in November. By the millions. totally uninformed voters who truly believe they are much better informed than we are. Hillary can lie all day and they believe her without bothering to fact check a thing. She could eat live kittens at noon in Times Square and they would still cheer for more. And would still vote for the hag...
Sorry about yet another long rant...I get started and it’s not easy to stop...
Good rant. Get it off your chest.
Not many here want to have close relatives who are so bull-headed that they love whatever garbage is served up by the Democrat Party.
I don’t feel fortunate that at my age that I am now the head of my family. In my immediate family consisting of sons, daughters, and their spouses and children I can safely say that all are Conservatives and never vote for the Godless Democrats. That came from years of preparing them for the world.
This doesn’t hold true for one sister and a sister-in-law. They vote Democrat because they’re government employees.
Please, let Hillary fail miserably and put Donald Trump in the White HOUSE. (I won’t call it a hut any longer if that happens.)
