[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]All I have to say is that Trump and the R establishment are LOVING that this has turned into a simple-minded fight about "the libs need to open up now!" ... taking the focus off of the federal failures to do anything to actually allow us to open up safely.[/b]

This attitude only prevents people to look at this in an unbiased and objective way.  [/quote]

[b]Oh yeah, you're so unbiased and objective  :roll:  Turning this into "team shutdown" v "liberators" (which is firmly 100% the fault of Trump) is the recipe for destroying objectivity[/b]. [/quote]

Politicizing it encourages people to join their camp.  People get the sense that those left of center are in favor of shutting things down and those right of center are in favor of reopening  and that tends to consciously or not influence how people feel about it.  It's natural that people want to "join their team." [/quote]

No, this is absolutely not "natural." It's intentional, coordinated manipulation of the narrative, and exploitation of people's desire to identify.  [/quote]

... and the reason I know this is that it's a rolling target. The target doesn't matter; it's just an object to project the culture war onto.  How much to you hear about hydroxychloroquine these days?  Not much. That was last week's prism for polarization.  [/quote]
