      @nancyj795 Місяць тому

      @@jsherrier1196 Most people don't even know the definition of the word "evidence." Evidence can be direct or circumstantial, and the law favors neither one. Most so-called conspiracy theories are supported by direct and circumstantial evidence. Voter fraud in 2020 is a good example. The idea that Joe Biden, a guy who couldn't get three people into a high school gym to hear him speak, got 20 million more votes than when Barack Obama was at the top of the ticket, is an example of circumstantial evidence of widespread fraud. Likewise, the idea that 94% of all registered voters voted in 2020 is another example of circumstantial evidence of widespread fraud. A further example of circumstantial evidence of widespread fraud is that my grandmother, dead for over 20 years, received a mail in ballot. Yet another example of circumstantial evidence is how Democrats furiously resisted monitoring the ballot drop boxes with security cameras. More circumstantial evidence of widespread voter fraud is how ballots were bundled and harvested.
      As far as the assassination attempt is concerned, there is more circumstantial evidence of it being a hit by the Never Trump Republicans and Radical Left Democrats than there was circumstantial evidence in the OJ case. I could be here all day, but let's start with how both groups wanted Nikki Haley as the nominee and the shooting happened two days before the RNC convention.
      Finally, you can't even spell "hearsay."

      I got into conspiracy theories around 2002 and after maybe two years moved on. The problem is not asking questions, challenging power, speculating to be vigilent etc. The problem with conspiracy theorists is the laziness. They would have much more credibility and we would be in much less of a mess if they'd just double check everything and back up as many claims as possible with real evidence.

    Lex, I appreciate your statement. When I was attending graduate school, one of my professors was about as far to the left (in the American political spectrum) as you could get. He knew that I was very conservative. However, we became very good friends. I enjoyed his lectures -- even if I disagreed with many of his opinions. He pointed out that what endeared me to him was the fact that I not only knew what I believed but the reasons WHY I believed those things. I could defend just about any opinion. I also made the effort to understand the opinions of others.
    This professor attended my wedding. My wife and I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area for work. Yet, even now, this professor and I still correspond by email and phone calls. He asks my opinions. I ask his opinions. He told me that I was the only person that he knew that predicted a Trump victory in 2016. He also asked for my opinion on the 2020 election and what it would mean for 2024. I asked him the same. I'm still voting for President Trump. I suspect that he will still vote for whoever the Democratic Party's nominee will be. However, we haven't lost friendship over this.
    Unfortunately, this is rare in today's bipolar sociopolitical world. The "us versus them" position is difficult to stomach. I live in a divisive area where a "wrong" political bumper sticker might result in finding your tires slashed or your car paint keyed. It's a shame, really.

However I'm not from the US and even if our division left-right is also deep (I can see that in my family) however it doesn't reach the levels what's going on in US.
      And I have to say that much of this divide is spilling from the US because before 2016 there wasn't so much vitriol in politics. Yes, there were divides and people who voted for different parties were always bickering but this left-right split hadn't reached such levels until 2016.

The “Summer of Love” riots, even attacks on a federal courthouse and police, go virtually unpunished and were actually applauded by Democrats. 1/6 was immediately labeled an “insurrection”. … and so on.

    it forever changed how we interact, more so.. interacting with people you would have never met in real life.
    The people who want to control and shape how we think and act, got a whole new instrument to do it on a massive scale.
    Before, only the msm had the tools to force a narrative on the public. Big difference is, lots of people didn’t watch the news, but almost everybody has a smartphone and some form of social media life going on.

However some part of family is pretty involved in politics and drifted much to the right and I remember one situation when someone started some topic about contentious issue son-in-law of my aunt who is on the right side said "here we don't talk politics". And I have no problem with that but this only applies to the one view of the world because when they talk about topics that suits them there is no problem, it's just like a double standard. And unfortunately in last years that divide has widened which is saddening because even some post on facebook about topic that is not to someone likening could be a spark for heated discussion.

Imagine staging a shot from 130 yards with an, at best, 2 MOA rifle and a 2-3 MOA red dot on top of it in which the ear on a moving target is deliberately hit. Finding the truth is actually a lot less difficult nowadays with all the angles footage of the event was taken from as compared to the singular Zapruder film in 1963.
      As if the first debate going poorly for Biden wasn't enough of a bump, you genuinely believe Trump would stage his own assassination attempt. LMAO
      P.S. The secret service didn't need to orchestrate the whole thing, but to simply create an environment in which such an attempt can even take place through gross negligence.

    Yet another thing is a degree of negativity towards people of a different side of the political spectrum and the fact, that attitude towards a person depends more on political views rather than the actual character of the person, which I find just absurd. It's just so strange and hateful. So I wish you, dear Americans, to overcome modern difficulties and learn to tolerate each other better despite the differences on political and ideological views.

    Are you going to try and get donald trump to do a podcast with you?
    Not even necessarily for his presidency, but his whole life is fascinating.

      He did interview Trump's daughter Ivanka. Her creative brain and good behavior reveal that Ivanka was surrounded by good loving parents.

    I disagree with a couple comments here, Lex.
    1 - "We must absolutely avoid the slide into extreme division, there are many ways to do this, and perhaps it's a discussion for another time."
    No. This is the time. If not now, when?
    2 - "I have and will continue to have many long form conversations with people both on the left and the right."
    This isn't unity. It's a platform for people to be divided in slow motion. Talk to them at the same time, together.

    I’ve never seen more hate in my left than in my experiences with the far left. It is the party of tolerance, just so long as your opinion aligns with theirs.

      If you think the far right is any better, you can't have listened or seen much what they say or believe in. They're equally toxic and calls for humanity's destruction.

      Very true, but it's the exact some with the right. I mean there are good people from both parties, but the people bickering online from both parties never admitting their wrong and spewing hate are just pathetic. I see it constantly from both sides. They can't possibly ever be wrong like you said, even when the facts are in their face. The left and right are both dead as a whole. I mean most good intelligent people from either party don't bicker online about politics.

      In my experience, every single person who has been Republican spews such hatred and division like Trump. They are filled with anger unless they get exactly what they want. Years ago, Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck started the division in this country. Hateful speech just to stir up the masses for media attention and money.
