Virtue signalling liberal walks into a bar...and lies...

[RenoCon]

Cool story bro



It's also apparent that many conservatives abandon all facts and reason, whenever facts and reason do not support their long-held opinions.

It is also ludicrous to conclude that "every progressive acts exactly like this one guy I talked to in a bar." Inaccurate citations from memory, or even fabrications, are a downright typical tactic regardless of one's ideological or political position.

(my emphasis)

That is not my quote and you are being dishonest. Ironic considering the point of my post. You could have easily left out the misleading quote marks for our readers. The closest I got to your quote was saying "many Liberals..." The rest of my generalized comments (those not specifically about the gentleman I met) were posed as questions. I have to admit that I don't often have face-to-face political discussions with Liberals. Though I usually find those discussions quite entertaining.

Your post is clown shoes and of no value. Dismissed.

This entire thread is of no value, but then again the only value you know of is the value bin at the Dollar General.

That is not my quote and you are being dishonest.

:roll:

It should be screamingly obvious that I wasn't directly quoting you. When I quote people, I do this:

It is apparent to me that many Liberals tend to fall back on their virtue signaling arguments anytime actual facts will not support their long held opinion.

and this

Is it just that Liberal elites don't know any better as they are constantly surrounded by other Liberal elites with the same ideology? Has mainstream media managed to seep into the liberal/Democratic mindset in such a way that they are even unaware of it?

Anyway. There is no question that you are generalizing about "Liberals" based on your experience of talking to one person in a bar. And again, there is no question that conservatives also frequently misremember, ignore, deny and distort the facts, or outright lie, whenever confronted with facts that don't suit their ideology. You show your own bias by failing to realize and/or recognize that this tendency is universal.

And yes, it is a fact that it's universal. Psychologists and others have done actual research on motivated reasoning and how partisans react to cognitive dissonance. Wow, actual research, rather than relying on anecdotes based on drunken strangers in bars! What a concept.

There's actual content in this thread, which is being personally informed or repeating what other people say. Not that you'd understand that because.....well, that self-identified progressive tag.

(Insert typical DP bubble quote)

And yet in your commentary you wrote this:

"It is also ludicrous to conclude that "every progressive acts exactly like this one guy I talked to in a bar." Inaccurate citations from memory, or even fabrications, are a downright typical tactic regardless of one's ideological or political position." (See how outside the DP bubble I can accurately quote you!) (My emphasis)

Those little " " are what most people in the world consider quotes in the written language. But, I could be generalizing. What did you intend for them to represent? It would have been so easy to use the DP cut-and-paste method to get an accurate quote from my post for our readers. And yet you chose to go with this in your commentary. It looks vaguely similar to something I had actually written but totally mischaracterizes what I said. That is dishonest. Or perhaps it is just an inaccurate citation from your memory.

Sorry, I only got through the Atlantic article. Surprise! People have bias and that effects how they interpret things! I wasn't doing a scientific study at the bar. I was merely making an observation and asking questions to stimulate discussion.

I bet you're also the kind of person that buys those Boomer-Thriller novels at Airports too, don't yeah? The bar is so painfully to clear to appease you isn't it? I bet when the OP talked about how the "Stupid Lib" he was owning was some snobby and college educated you damn near creamed yourself.

 

[Hatuey]

This is like that guy who told us about the super interesting conversations he had about race with some family member. Can't remember the details. The point is that it didn't happen and we all laughed at how ridiculous the whole thing seemed except the poster who self validated that way.

Boomer fan fiction is weird.

I bet the guy looked like Sam Seder. All smug nosed and fancy glasses. With that nasal accent him and his ilk sound like. Full sentences, and ***** adverbs.

Guys like FishKing and the OP set the bar so low for Conservatives, it's comical. Guys like Shapiro and Jordan Peterson are their philosophers, Stephen Crowder is their comedian, and Trump is their President. Literally all you have to do to tap on the pleasure centers in their brains is call Liberals stupid and/or dumb.

Actually, I described him like this:

...This gentleman is an obviously intelligent individual. He has a graduate degree and is employed by a large academic and referral hospital in a highly technical field...

But, obviously something somebody said has you very upset. I am awfully sorry about that.

Unless you are not a U.S. citizen, Trump is your President too. Fact check me...Alexa, who is the President of the United States of America?

 

[Waddy]

As Bill Mahr said recently, " it now just looks like they're stalking Trump".

 

[Nickyjo]

Your liberal there makes the same lazy mistake that most do. Trump and Putin's interests were aligned. They both wanted Trump to be President. There's no relationship between the two.
There's no causation. No votes were affected. Trump did not collude.

Perhaps not. But wouldn’t it be nice if Trump showed some concern about Russian interference in the election and the possibility that they might do it again? Though I guess if Putin tells him they didn’t do it, it’s settled.

 

[Oborosen]

I haven't read the report myself, but based on the articles and discussions I've read/seen, there's little or no evidence that Trump colluded with Russia - but there is evidence that he obstructed justice.


Personally, I think the whole "russia collusion" thing was a red herring of sorts, which led the democrats down a path which some have yet to recover from.

They possibly wont recover anytime soon actually. Pelosi is doing everything she can to tear the house apart from the inside and all of the current presidential runners, save more maybe Yang and two others. Are all going for self in this mad little world of theirs.

 

[Oborosen]

I find it impossible to believe he knew wtf 'duck and cover' was because I DO!! And if he went to school in the 80's he DOESN'T!!

The only case would be how my school did it. The history teacher showed us some videos of it, from when the drill was still being practiced.

He must have learned by proxy.

 

[Oborosen]

So the Trump Tower meeting was just a red herring?
Trump Moscow Tower, yet another red herring?
Manager giving confidential election information in order to aid the Russians in better targeting Americans is also a red herring.
Not to mention the red herring of all the meetings that were lied about, their knowledge of the attacks on our election, their knowledge that it was to benefit them, their preparation to use such information for their electoral benefit and all the preferential treatment since is just coincidence. The reason Democrats are having trouble impeaching this criminal president, is because of people like you. Slink back to Secular Talk now...

Yes, red herrings and the fact that you and those like you are so caught up and obsessed with them is a disturbing revelation in of itself.

 

[Hatuey]

Not at all.

If you think I get triggered at fan fiction, you're deluded. Tell us about all of the imaginary liberals you're defeating out in hick bars.

Your very existence is a red herring. Bye.

Those little " " are what most people in the world consider quotes in the written language.

Your inability to distinguish between a paraphrase, and an actual quote, is not my problem.

It would have been so easy to use the DP cut-and-paste method to get an accurate quote from my post for our readers.

:roll:

Dude? I've been posting here for a long time. I paraphrase people using quotation marks all the time, and I'm not the only one. It's normal. Get over yourself.

Sorry, I only got through the Atlantic article. Surprise! People have bias and that effects how they interpret things! I wasn't doing a scientific study at the bar. I was merely making an observation and asking questions to stimulate discussion.

I see no indication that you want to "stimulate discussion." It looks like you want to bash liberals, for doing something that is not in fact partisan in nature. *Yawn*

So this liar has a graduate degree? Does he also model on the side? :lol:

 

[bomberfox]

Totally unverifiable anecdotes are certainly believable in Trump land.

More nothing ad homs. No content, no original thought, no cogent or rational thoughts. In other words, status quo progressive.

My guy you came into this thread with an ad hominem so I don't see why you take such offense to it. Or did the charge of getting rock hard at Boomer fan fiction hit too close to home for you?

Lol...no, you got called out for how you came into this thread. You have the right to your own feelings but not your own facts.
