    So… Normal news outlets are “leftist”?

    Not sure what you mean by “normal” but sure, some of them could be considered that.

    Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation.

    LOL congratulations you’ve been successfully manipulated into tribal nonsense.

      Right-wing narratives is always based on a pack of lies, and so is everything that emanates from it. It’s not “tribalistic,” it’s just right-wing ideology working as designed - protecting and expanding privilege and power.

          No… I’m afraid that’s actually what right-wing ideology exists to do - protect and expand the privilege and power of the already privileged and powerful. It has no other reason to exist.

          Since that power and privilege is always - as in, with zero exceptions - completely unjustified, it can only be based on lies and nothing else.

          That is what right-wing politics is all about. Always has been, always will be. It really is that simple.

              If you wish to remain confused about this, be my guest… but you cannot claim that nobody ever tried informing you - because somebody just did.

                You’re the one who’s confused. And it’s sad.

                  You’ve basically just admitted that you don’t understand, and, more importantly, don’t want to understand, why you are being fed the propaganda you are being fed.

                  I’d say it’s best that you don’t go around calling others confused, no?

                    Ummm I’ve done nothing of the sort and have no idea what you’re talking about.

                    I’d say it’s best you don’t go around fabricating nonsense that other people have said, no?
