[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been traveling to the Midwest for years to visit family. The divide happened a long time ago. Before Obama was elected. I put the blame on right wing radio and entertainment outlets like Fox News, Breitbart, Glenn Beck, and Alex Jones. The entertainment they push is anger and outrage, bigotry and sexism. I watched my dad get sucked into that world but he died in 2013. Folks are reeling in this country due to huge economic shifts that are occurring in economic/labor market, much like the industrial revolution. If you think back to that time in history and the profound changes that occurred, it makes sense.

The only thing that is going to change is the younger generations will be able to cope more with the new economic/labor environment and the ones in the thick of the change will die off. [/quote]

That’s part of it but the liberal side is equally ridiculous. The liberal pocketbook seems to have no end and yet the younger generation feels poorer even if they aren’t because they need more things to live. Frugalness is not respected anymore. They also support much more extreme causes than they used to. Since when were liberals only on the side of pro choice if they supported abortion on demand up until the delivery date?  Are there also liberal shows that are causing these extreme views?[/quote]

This is a good example of what pp was talking about re Fox News and other right-wing media.  PP has made a number of incorrect statements about people on the left, most likely Fed to him by right-wing media.  Assisting the right-wing media is pp’s unwillingness and/or inability to think critically about the things he hears from that right-wing media.[/quote]

And should we list all the “incorrect statements” made about Trump voters?  CNN, MSNBC, WaPo, NYT, etc. - and of course, DCUM - spread lies about Trump voters every day.  Yet you seem concerned only about the left being mischaracterized.  Can you even grasp how one-sided you are?   :roll: [/quote]
