Sorry, I'm just curious about shit I believed before I realized left-wing media lies about everything. KF has a good handle on the nonsense and it's hard for me to search elsewhere since the left is still in control of so much.
Half of the day the thread is shit up by people pretending to be disenfranchised right wingers, and every once and a while we have people from the Trump Seething Thread come here and purposely spewing nonsense like that even they don't believe.
Sorry if you are a genuinely ignorant person on the subject and are catching flak from those people, however you're asking shit that has been nonsense for 6-7 years at this point, and as low effort post. Clarifying your position helps people give you a better reception, but the thread moves fast and people often just jump through highlights and so that context will probably be pissed by both, and if there are things you would like more clarification on, try ask it as more that just an out of context question.
Also Ratings don't matter and getting offended by this is extremely Reddit. I treat them more than mini-replies than ratings, and the question is very dumb 15k pages deep into a Politics thread.
Just a brief addressing of your previously held beliefs that you are now doubting, learning that the media always lies and rarely even lies well is how a lot of us got shifted to the Right. Most things you were told about Trump were "from sources familiar with the matter." In journalistic terms this means "Fanfic." It means the Journo is publishing something it knows is absolutely to almost certainly false, and it obfuscates it by saying the source is unreliable, but in a way that makes it sound like they are protecting the sources identity. Trump calling POWs losers and Trump trying to take control of the wheel of his Secret Service car in 2020 fall into those categories with a lot more.
Another common way is they leave out context that completely changes the meaning of his words. Two good examples of that are "Grab them by the Pussy." The full phrase was "They let you grab them by the pussy" and the context was about how women debase themselves for rich men, to the point that they would let you just walk up and grab their vagina. It's exaggeration to make the point, not a literal retelling of what happens. Another great example is the "Very Fine People" in reference to the Charlottesville protest. He says that there are good people on both sides, that some protestors and counter protestors are there for laudable reason. His very next sentence after that was that he condemns all white supremacists, clarifying that he wasn't talking about those elements of the protest(that we now know were funded by a major Dem NGO, the Southern Poverty Law Center, to delegitimize the protests).
I'm sure there is more you'd like to ask about, just type a bit more to explain your position of genuinely trying to deprogram from mass media indoctrination and you'll get a better response. Just asking the question of a tired and long debunked point in a vacuum comes across as pot stirring.
