Liberals are stupid.

Well, their ideas are poorly formed.   Their not "stupid" in terms of their ability to manipulate and escape consequences.  Mostly, the average liberal is simply indoctrinated and unable to step outside of the religious way their ideology operates.

I think they are cunning and lack a moral compass.

its times like this where you go to far with your bias. how many conservatives are christians? you don't think they are indoctrinated?

From the Twitters:

We're listening to Republicans, who preach any American can open-carry an AR-15 to public gatherings, suddenly incensed the Secret Service couldn't stop a man with an AR-15 at a public gathering.

I think Christians are a relatively solid example of the same thing happening on the "right", so yeah..... and it makes sense since liberalism is as much religion now as it is anything else, so in terms of behaviors the Christians and far left folks share at least a similar approach to what they think and believe.

No. the average person thinks for themselves, does not simply accept the lies from politicians or media or anyone else.   The average person avoids the fantasy and stories meant to scare them

You could literally swap out liberal for conservative and the same sentence is true.

Except its far less true when you reverse it.  And when that truth appears you hear the media frame it as "infighting" when in reality its simply people pushing back against the fringe.  The right does not inhibit criticism or challenging the status quo, that is something dominated by the left...where no straying from the ideology is permitted.

Correct.  Most of the people we interact with show us that they are not easily manipulated, and I think that is absolutely the case for the average person.  On the extremities you will of course find people who seem to just welcome being manipulated.

I respect your opinion, but in my opinion the far left and far right are equally awful. But the far right is the only of the two that cling to religion (which there is no wiggle room for anything or you're going to hell) and have taken over one of the two parties in cult like fashion.

I just looked this up, so a bit of grain of salt, but the number I saw was 210 million christians in the us. that's 210 million indoctrinated. so what I was saying with what you consider average, and the average person is indoctrinated is in a way 210 million people out of what 330 million would make them the average. but yes, I understand what you mean.

Concur.  The far elements of each are abhorrent, but the right does not allow the fringe to influence like the left does.   If it were true that there was some commensurate actions or behaviors then it was be a wash, it is the allowance of liberals for hard leftists to gain legitimacy that I find off putting.

I surmise there is some small set of Christians, and Muslims....well, perhaps more so Muslims....they are as intolerant and indoctrinated as most liberals.....but certainly we could find some folks who are Christian and intolerant....I guess...

Maybe because i live in a big city in CA the crazy religious Trumpists stand out and are so off putting.  I don't know where you live but maybe the over lunatic super liberals stand out and bother you so much.   So we have the same perspective on the problem just slightly the opposite when it comes to which is worse.

Were it true that there were far right folks who burned cities, marched to celebrate the murder of Jews, pretended that people could change genders etc.... then I might concede the point.

While both sides have their crazies, it is the left that allows their crazies access to the mainstream, and that really needs to stop.

I would contend that most of the rioters who burned down cities weren't Democrats and most of them probably aren't even registered to vote. So that's has always been a unfair label to me.   But yes, the super Liberals who are pro Hamas are crazy as hell.  I also don't agree people can change gender's but I think the have the right to dress however they want.   Maybe we can just agree LIFE IS CRAZY

not sure why you brought Muslims or intolerance into the chat, which started when I responded to you saying the average liberal is indoctrinated. There is not a small set of christians that are indoctrinated, its all 210m. And just to address it, a lot of them are pretty intolerant.

If you’re going to talk about intolerance then Muslims have to be at the top of the list. That’s why.

I don't know if they vote or not.  I don't know if they consider themselves "Democrats" or not.  What I do know is that they follow the Democrat lead.  Their actions are the feelings of the Democrat party as a whole.  They believe that America is bad and the historical way of life that was build, should be destroyed.  That's the Democrat agenda.  That's why it's a fair label.
