[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Everyone's supporters are blind to facts that contradict their candidate or paint him or her in an unflattering light.[/b]  And it's not that they are blind to facts; it's that they minimize them or explain them away or facts simply don't matter when you connect with someone. Trump is not special in this. Hillary's supporters also dismiss things that paint Hillary in a negative light. It's just the nature of the beast. [/quote]

False equivalence. Hillary supporters have answers. Lately, all the pro-Trump posters on here are answering with words cribbed right from right wing radio and absolute [i]lies[/i]. It's absolutely nuts, but they have been allowed to consume media that refuses to challenge their beliefs (global warming not being real, late term abortion being common, and Republicans caring about the little guy) and that's bleeding into the way they face the world. It's very sad. I say this as someone whose father has gone off the Fox end of the pool. He makes zero sense, he sounds completely hateful and it's absolutely pitiful. That's not who he is.[/quote]
Having answers doesn't mean anything. They have to be good answers.  For a supporter, you can throw at them any facts you like, and at the end of the day it just Doesn't Matter because the alternative is worse, because they connect with the candidate, because whatever.  The fact that you believe one side to be perfectly logical and the other perfectly vile tells me your worldview is just as polarized. [/quote]
