It’s not brainwashing at all. It’s just a difference of ideology. You’re just so far to the left in your ideology that you can’t understand the right’s ideology.

“So far left?” If you’d read all the posts I’ve made on this blog, and you weren’t biased, you wouldn’t say that. If you add up all my positions (some are left, some are right), and average them, I’m probably slightly left of center. In any case, if a person can think for himself, and if a person doesn’t automatically dismiss any idea he doesn’t agree with, then that person can understand the other side’s ideology, even if he doesn’t agree with it, and even if he’s on the opposite end of the spectrum. So your above argument holds no water.

Therefore people that don’t believe as you are brainwashed, uniformed, racists, sexists, whatever term you want to use.

No, I don’t consider those who don’t believe as I do as brainwashed. I consider those who clearly can’t think for themselves and who only spout right-wing talking points (or left-wing ones) as brainwashed. I consider those who argue with emotions that have clearly been manipulated as brainwashed. There’s a big difference.

Anything that doesn’t fit into your progressive plan for the future shall be attacked and vilified. I totally get it, it’s politics.

Another right wing talking point. Show me you’re not brainwashed by coming up with something on your own. My original post is asking questions to try to understand the visceral hate out there, even in the middle and on the left, for Hillary. Who am I attacking and vilifying?

There’s a looming economic disaster coming for our country. The math just ways there’s a day where medical spending/social spending/war spending will need to be reduced. The question we should be asking ourselves isn’t whom might advance LGBT rights, but who is going to get our national budget in order and how are they going to do it. I don’t think we have 8 more years of kicking the can down the road left.[/quote]
Both important questions, and we can ask them both.
