It's a deliberate distraction from the conviction of Manafort and Cohen's guilty plea. What's worse, this blatant tactic is still working after two years.

As someone who has pondered the nature of perception since I was a kid, this experience more than anything else has really convinced me that perception must not be in any way fixed or constant, and that reality itself is likely extremely subjective.
That's the only way I can wrap my mind around this. Before, I was willing to chalk up political difference as being largely a "nurture" thing with a handful of environmental factors determining how a given person would react after being exposed to basically the same "reality." Like a preference for chocolate over vanilla - I can wrap my head around that.
But now... I don't know. The sheer magnitude of the idiocy is just so alarming... I just have to conclude that there is no possible way that someone who is working with the same perception - "inputs" - as I am, could possibly generate this outcome. Like, these people should have choked on pudding long ago if their mental facilities are that lacking. We've put a hundred monkeys in a room, and they have turned into a duck. The basic laws of reality, as we understand them, should not allow it to happen.
It leaves me with one conclusion - that these people are simply working with different inputs somehow. That their perception of the world is somehow fundamentally different than my own.
It's definitely different inputs IMO. I don't talk politics with anyone I know anymore because it's just ruins friendships. The distance between the two sides is too vast. However, I did get...

However, I did get sucked into a 3 hour conversation with a co-worker last week. We were at work so we were very cordial while making our points.
It was the first time I had to get into the head of a Trump supporter. I just can't understand how you could support this guy.
We were both just working with a different set of "facts".
He felt like the economy was anemic under Obama and any economic gains during his tenure were only because he crashed the economy in his first year. I, on the other hand, felt like the economy crashed before Obama took over and, while it took a little longer than we hoped his policies and economic rescue package passed in his first year eventually pulled us out of the recession.
He felt like the Obama administration was one of the most scandal ridden administrations in recent times. I, on the other hand, felt like it was one of the most scandal free administrations in recent times.
We did at least agree that Fox News was biased but he felt like The Drudge Report was down the middle.
This is dangerous. This is not to be taken lightly. He is attacking the heart of Search on the internet. He is attacking legitimate News Agencies. He is attacking the ability of people to access...

Those aides that give him the weekly puppet show/Q&A session on how the Constitution works must be so bummed -- it just never sinks in. Maybe next week, Tim and Lisa!

Obama once said something like: “If I watched Fox News all the time, I wouldn’t vote for me either!”

Lack of eduction will do that
