The biggest political problem we have, it's seemed to me for a long time, is that it is just about impossible to communicate with the Left from the Right. The mainstream media are all controlled by the Left, their news is all slanted Left, they even tuck rods into their news reports to load them with opinion although they are supposedly news. So that just about anything repoted about Trump's views gets a word inserted into it to say something like "his FALSE idea that" or his "UNWARRANTED ivew that" whicdh as far as I know has never been done in news accounts until quite recently. A feaw years perhaps. Since Trump started running for President perspehaps. maybe before, not sure, but definitely since Trump, their effort being constantly to trash whatever he says or does in the most ... well, in every way they can. I wonder how many people even notice the insertion of those manipulative words into a news report? Does anybody on the left see them or hear them? Accept them as legitimate reporting if so?
That is more than I planned to say but it's aproppos. The point is that there is no wa to get the conservative point of view across the great political divide to peopole on the left becaue all the avenues are blocked by the Left. They own the media, that's the main thing. If you want to hear a conservative opinion you have to go out of your way to find it. or all the average Democrat in this country knows, he or she is getting normal news. It wouldn't have to occur to them theyat they are getting opnly what the Leftist elites want them to get. They believe it. What else should they do?
That is a huge frustration and to my mind it's THE reason for our slide into totalitarianism, that we can't have a dialogue with the other side. It's not just that liberals blow us off, which they do, it's that heyh are physically deprivesd of hearing anything other thatn the liberal line on everything. It frustrates me all the time that I hear such good analyses of the news from the conservative side every day but know that it will never get past ythe circle of consercvaatives who listen to conservative programming. There maybe millions of us, well there ARE millions of us, but we're locked into our own sealed off compartment. We have lots of talk show hosts who talk every day, dozens of them all over the country. We have excellednt thinkers who have podcasts, we have excellent publications, all sorts of great resources. But the liberals, the Demostracts, the rank and file on the left, can't get to them, don't even know they exist, and of course if they're told, they are so soaked in their own leftist propaganda they have no interest in finding out about any of it.
Matt Tyobi, sorry again about the spelling, mentioned on the Mark Levin show that he'd seen some old friends after his stint witht e twitter Files, andasked them about some newsworthy event or other. I don't know if he named the event or iddn't mention it, but I missed it so don't know what he asked them. Anyway, he was distressed to discover that they'd never heard of it. Tyobi is a Democrfat, or always was as far as I know so I gather the same is true of the friends he's talking about. Liberals, Democrats. They don't know all kinds of things becaue the media are so successful at keeping them from the information.
So as I pointed out in the previous couple of posts, they never hear anything to change their minds about the lies against Trump. We on the right know that Trump denounced the neoNazis, they on the left don't. We on the right know that Trump didn't mock a man for his disability, they on the left don't. We on the right know that Trump had nothing whatever to do with any insurrect5in but emphasized a peaceful protest, but they on the left don't, beause all they ever hear is the smear campaign against Trump. It's endless, every speaker on the leftist media reiterates the smear against Trump and against Conservaives. It's endless. They state sas if it were fact that Trump is a fascist, etc etc etc. It's probably the most diabolical situation that's every existed and I can believe that's lieteral. The devil is smart. To be able to pull that off, so effectively isolate half the country from the other half, takes some sort of genius. I wrackmy mind for ways to overcome thie blackout.
Even Tyobi recognizes the problem. Talking out the issues is difficult enough if you try it with any given liberal, it takes time, patience, much much careful effort, it can't be done in a short encounter or eve n a dozen short encounters, and this media blackout ujust about seals the deal. Hermetically sealed off from each other.
I'm sure that if liberalxs did hear other sides some wouldn't come over to our side, but I'm also sure that many would. They'd have to see that they'vew been lied to. Not all liberals would be happy to discover that no matter how committed they are to a particular point of view. EWEven if they hate Trump with a passion could they really just shrufg off the knowledge that he's been so relecntlessly smeared they are believing lies about him? Brandon Strat, I think I remembered his name right, discovered that Trump didn't mock the disabled man and went on a search for more ways he might have been lied to as a lifelong Democrat, found out that he'd been consistently lied to and founded the Walkway Movmenet of Democrats leavintg the Partly. They may not become Republicans but they reject the Democrats. Because they see how they've been manipulated.
But getting people to see this is the hard part. I wrack my brains for a solution to this. I think the country's welfare depends on solving this particular problem. We have to find a way to get the liberals to hear us.
