[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not that they don’t trust experts, they have a mega distrust of the establishment. That’s the pull of Trump.[/quote]

It’s not about Trump. It’s about him pointing out the hypocrisy.

Global warming: “TURN YOUR THERMOSTATS DOWN” they say. Then get caught with their’s cranked to 78. “He’s from Hawaii”. Private jet? “He/she is more important than you, so needs to fly private”.  Telling us how oppressed and oppressive we are in the US when the countries they support enslave other people. Sending our hard-earned FINITE tax dollars to other nations while our own go hungry and live on the streets. Tell us we don’t have a right to our guns but they do because, again, they are more important than us so need protection. And as a hard example, jailing a 70+ year old Bodega worker in Rikers on high bail for stabbing a man with a past violent criminal record, who was beating the crap out of him. All caught on video, mind you, so we know the worker was not lying. It was only due to MAGA outrage that the Bodega worker was finally treated fairly by Democrats.[/quote]

But that's cutting off your nose to spite your face. I'm not going to take up smoking because some politicians/bureaucrats/authorities are telling me not to smoke while lighting a cigarette behind closed doors. I'll think they are stupid, but I'm not going to jeopardize my own health and well being because of their stupidity.

Are MAGA people that manipulable? Do they all suffer from oppositional defiance disorder? Can we get them to change their behavior by telling them to do the opposite?[/quote]

Do you always follow rules others set up for you that they exempt themselves from?  You don’t question it?[/quote]

That's quite a straw man you built there. Nice work. [/quote]

Yeah, must be embarrassing to be bested by a stupid MAGA person  :mrgreen: I mean who believes a man telling you that the seas are rising at an alarming rate so you have to change YOUR behavior, then buys TWO expensive beach front properties? Even Obama doesn't believe his own crap.[/quote]

Some of us have a conscience and follow it. No matter what others do. Again, you sound highly manipulable. You apparently base your decisions in opposition to what other people do, rather than on your own principles.[/quote]

The title of this thread speaks of expertise. The people who are stating they are experts and to follow their rules, again, don't follow the same rules themselves. A true expert would not behave that way. Another example - all the parties liberals in authority threw, with them unmasked but the help, masked. [/quote]

Please, list all "the people" declaring themselves experts who don't follow "their rules" -- list them all. Every single one of those "people stating they are experts and to follow their rules."  All generalizations have to be premised on specifics, so get specific. One example is not good enough to jump to a generalization. We need dozens and dozens of them.[/quote]

I'd like that answer too. Who ARE these experts making policy we are all to follow? And why are they exempting themselves? Obama has. Fauci has. Whitmer has. Newsom has. They clearly don't trust the experts either. Dozens and dozens? You go ahead. Give me dozens and dozens of specific names of MAGA individuals who are opposed to expertise?[/quote]
