I think I've figured out how to explain current political discussions

Last edited Sun Jul 22, 2018, 11:47 PM - Edit history (1)

in an easy enough way that even the #MAGits might understand.




I get so fucking frustrated trying to debate and educate these fucknuts. I dont know why I even keep trying.

Here's how it seems to go most times discussing an issue with them using a sports analogy.....




Cleveland beats Chicago 4-3 in the bottom of the 9th 2 run homer.



Interviewer asks Liberal his opinion of the game and what it means.

"I think this last minute win really gives cleveland some momentum heading into the all star game!'



Interviewer asks Conservative his opinion of the game and what it means.

"I dont believe it. I dont trust the numbers. I dont feel like Chicago lost the game. I think thats just spin put out by people who benefit financially if Cleveland wins. And you as part of the liberal sports media helps to continue that narrative because you dont like White Sox fans!!"




"So there you have it fans. The liberal believes this win will help Cleveland heading into the 2nd half of the season and the conservative believes that Donald Duck is riding a bullet train into Ontario wearing polka dot underoos while listening to 1940s German Opera on an 8 track player."



This is also what its like listening to this woman about climate change lol.

At this point they're so addicted and brainwashed they wouldn't ever care if foxnews came out and said "we lie to advance the interests of mother Russia."
